I think they may be right and I suspect that that would have quite a lot of support. Our pubs are closed.

Many people are coming to that conclusion, but I cannot make up my mind whether this is indeed good sense, or just giving in to the inevitable war-weariness that everyone must be feeling.
I took my first big risk myself yesterday, meeting a grandson and his latest girlfriend for lunch in a restaurant. It was buzzing with people, and I was quite taken aback. I haven't been in a smallish room with that many people for seven months for a couple of hours, let along been talking across a table with anyone apart from my wife. I'm a sanguine enough character, but I did think it a bit risky and daring.
In fact, I am doing three more "daring" things in the next three weeks by way of exhibitions or ballets. This probably isn't at all wise, and I'm already having second thoughts - though I'm intending to go nevertheless, until there's a lockdown. I will avoid public transport where possible my using the car or walking - having been on a bus where less than half the passengers were wearing masks.
If I go quiet between now and the end of November, it may be because I've been "zapped".
