Edit - on the bus and these old pricks are sitting on the outside seats talking to each other. Wankers.
On the train, there's regular announcements saying everyone should use the window seat only in order to maintain distancing, i suspect the same will apply when coach services resume too (it's looking now that some will restart from August 1st).

If the rate these translate into deaths starts to do the same then they are going to be even more monumentally strawberry floated than they already are.
I'm surprised we haven't seen a similar trend.
I'm pretty sure we're about to in a few weeks. America started opening up first.
There's little reason to think that. The UK is at a stage more similar to other European countries, most of which have opened up without any major spike yet reoccurring.
Yeah, i think (or at least i hope) we'll be like the other european countries, in that there will be localised clusters, but no major spike.
The US situation is very different and generally more complicated, and so we can't really compare things accurately.
