When it comes to advice on medical matters, I'll go with the (medical) doctors - not politicians, present or has-been!
Merry Xmas

Yes, you can’t argue with the medical experts, despite what some might think.

That, I'm afraid, is not true!
Immediately prior to my operation, the anaesthetist insisted that I took some medication that I had stopped taking some weeks previously. I objected, but allowed her to overrule me.
Result was that the medication slowed my heart rate down so much that, firstly, they were unable to prep me for the operation, and then they had to stabilise me during the operation. At that point, the surgeon decided that it would not be a wise move to complete the operation, and as consequence, I will require further surgery next year to finish off a task that could have have been done back in August.
The anaesthetist acknowledged after the operation that she had been wrong.

It's always the anaesthetist - beware of them! My late wife twice had problems caused by them! The second time, the needle had been wrongly placed in her spine; she sat up when she came round & promptly went blind. The anaesthetist was immediately summonsed but it was Friday afternoon & he was about to go home, said he'd deal with it on Monday!!¬
"Oh no won't" said a very stern ward sister & she made him deal with it then & there.

Sure you're right! Last summer, for my birthday, I had to use one. When he told me prior to the injection "think about something nice" I told him laughing "Oh yes, are you aware that the surgeon has sex with your wife?" In good French, vous êtes cocu!

Unsurprisingly, CSCC's planned pre-season trackday at Donington on February 16th has been cancelled.......given that the current "stay at home" lockdown is only due to be reviewed the day before, the likellihood and indeed wisdom of people converging from all over the country has been looking unlikely for a while.....
I'm a bit sceptical about whether the season opener at end of March will happen, either.....but I haven't cancelled my Premier Inn booking for the Oulton round on April 10th, yet
