I promised my self I wouldn't but....
Please Clive, where are these idots you seem to be able to identify that appear to you to think nothing is happening. Are you spotting them on your quotidian perambulations? Are they the ones alone in their car NOT wearing a mask? Are they the ones who try and explain the concept (and inevitable results) of a 45 cycle Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction test to the glassy eyed? Are they the ones with no cash trying desperately to feed their kids?
Point two.
Arrest them!! For what? Thoughts? Then what? Put them where? Endanger how many in the process?
For a bit of humour in all this. The paranoid woman in the bank a while back. Masked, vinyl gloves and wild, frightened eyes. After a few moments struggling decided to pull one of the gloves off with her teeth. Cue guffaws from me and a cashier trying her best not to laugh out loud. Similar, mum with family in the pub (remember them), masked etc. then rips open the quavers WITH her teeth. Not a though about where the bag had been or who touched it.
I doubt Clive, that even with your forensic mind reading skills, you could find anyone who thinks that "nothing is happening". Maybe a few with doubts about the remedy though.
