So lockdown is over then, right?

After all, if it's reasonable and legal for a knowingly sick man to travel 260 miles to visit his ageing, at risk grandparents, in clear violation of the locdown, it must be reasonable for me, someone who is not sick and with much younger parents, to visit them at any time, right?

Jesus, no.

If you are well then you should go to work while staying alert and cocooning your parents. However, If you actually get covid19, you should immediately drive up to your cocooning relatives, even if that means travelling hundreds of miles, and expose them to the virus.

That's how you Slow The Spread.

Exactly. It's not what you do, it's why you did it. So I can shoot someone in the face if I claim I thought it would be fun for them to be shot in the face.

That's a thing about strategic masterminds (or at least self proclaimed ones.)

They tend to massively underestimate other peoples intelligence or willingness to do hard work. And are often undone by that.
Because if they did think their adversaries were worthy, they'd have to re-evaluate how smart they themselves were.

It's really good, they did perhaps drag out the chapter a bit at the end, and I also think they went a bit... silly with the health levels on the gonarch, but overall it's still really good. The whole thing is actually my favourite half life game now.

Tbf before the 'roni hit Cummings was making a lot of noises about massive Civil Service reforms. I bet they're not keen on him at any level.

Between six hundred Discords and deleted Twitter posts, it's almost as though the shift to pure meta-narrative has somewhat diminished these forums.
