Re: What's this Pandemic exposed?
I'm going to hate working from home. Work is my social life. So many friends are made in doing things you don't want to do - turning up for the daily grind. If friend making is left to designated social occasions - it's forced fabricated fun. It feels completely different. Sometimes you don't know w...

Ashley Bloomfield, Director-General of Health, is doing a great job with daily communications. He comes across really well - doing a brilliant job. The most difficult aspect of his job (I'm sure it's not...) looks to be coming up with polite answers to absolutely stupid questions from "journalists".
