That’s not what the pictures from the arrivals lounges show? (And actual ones not just something on Twitter) people are still traveling unfortunately 

Which arrivals lounge pictures? I haven't located any live webcams - are they available to the general public?

He now has the perfect story to justify his transformation to a socialist. When other Tories criticise the vast sums he will spend repairing the country and the state, he will simply mention his Road to Damascus moment in the ICU. He used to want a war so he could be remembered as a Churchill figure. Now he knows his legacy can be Britain's greatest Socialist PM.

We had a young, highly driven ultra-competitive manager at work who was a right bamford. He badly broke his pelvis in a skiing accident and still walks with a pronounced limp twenty years later, but he suddenly became a decent bloke and people had a lot more time for him. I wouldn't wish anything like that on anybody, but it can force you to take a different approach to life and acknowledge that career isn't everything.

okay... they should still be considerate enough not to blow that stuff into other people’s faces. I didn’t experience people smoking cigarettes blowing smoke into my face very often, but because vaping is ‘healthier’ I experience it a lot more often. [CV19 or not]

Smoking has a much more direct impact on others around them than what you list.

Do not be ludicrous, go into any  town centre or A and E on a weekend , walk down the concourse on match day and put up with alcohol being spilt ,thrown breathed all over you , put up with the pissed up idiots stupidity or outright menace , check your drunk driver killing and maiming figures ,not to mention the alcohol gateway drug issue ,,, 

now I could go on with a massive list but I suspect from your response you only want to look at others who do stuff that you disapprove of and not what doesn’t suit

 Thats my point. We are now more aware of the air around us and the reasons why we need to social distance. 

Hence, the last thing I need is people walking in front of me or behind me exhaling their vape. Dont they see it? 

Re the alcohol quote, you have missed the point. Im not having a go at people who vape, or smoking or alcohol, its more about doing these things responsibly. 

If theres been stuff on the TV about it then sorry, Ive missed it.     

Fair play , your obviously someone open to other points of view , I vape but personally use a small gadget that produces less cloud than a cigarette , massive cloud makers seem a bit daft to me

mind you to be fair if you give me a choice of being hemmed in with a stranger overdoing the vaping or stranger over doing the drink , I’m with the vaper every time

Same here.  Those who walk around under a massive cloud, or fill a room/car with it, don't do the rest of us any favours, that's for sure!  And some of them smell so sweet/sickly too!
I take mine (down) for the nicotine alone.  There's hardly any vapour at all.  I get the impression some of them would be just as happy with a tub of kiddies bubbles!

Point taken. There's not a lot of social distancing going on there, but there's probably 40 or 50 people there from an aircraft that would have normally carried 300 or 400 people - in this case they might be people possibly being repatriated. Give us a little context?

Maybe, to be honest I don’t know but yes that could be the reason.

91 People cleared of the virus in Korea have been re-tested having recovered.  They have it again, some are re-developing symptoms. This apparently means the virus is staying in the system longer and hiding away, or they are actually re-infected.  This is very concerning.

Well been it comes in two waves off it.

Potentially very worrying but there may be more behind this and, hopefully a more reassuring explanation.

The ones that produce mushroom clouds are probably heating more than nicotine.

I think the point is...if someone spilt their drink down me, I would assume they would apologise. Or if they were drunk and obnoxious, that's what I would see them as. 

Vapers do sometimes produce huge mushroom clouds of sickly 'smoke' that you very much feel like you are directly inhaling from them and they seem totally oblivious and that it is perfectly reasonable behaviour. Smokers will now keep their distance generally, will be apologetic and see it as 'anti social' in some way. I have been stood a few times with a friend eg on a train platform, near someone vaping and we have both kinda looked at each other and moved away...the smell is very strong and when its blown out and then you feel like you are very much tasting it, I personally don't like it. 

You reacted quite angrily to the original post ..so would I say they are just like drunk drivers? or even making my life a misery? No.  But it's something I find a little unpleasant though.

Can anyone explain this to me:

Add up 657, 24, 18 and 11 and that comes to 710... yet they're then saying 737 died in hospital, plus there will be others in the community. 

I don't get why there would be a difference.

I think they add the latest figures which may be more than the one’s published.

Derby is listed differently isnt it?

I'd be interested to know hospital emissions and discharges and capacity at the Royal Derby. is that advertised anywhere?
