I agree we should be Sensible, But I think they have gone too far.
How many people die anyway ??, There is a few near me that have gone , Just before all this.
When we all come out from under the bed, Will there be anything left ?, No jobs etc.


Your Prime Minister is in the hospital, ICU

Yes, stay home so you don't end up like Mr. Herd Immunity Boris.
He's now changed his direction 180 on that.

Is that where the english saying: Dutch courage, comes from.
No. Dutch courage is alcohol, getting boozed up before a fight. The specific alcohol earning the Dutch name historically was gin which was issued as a ration to some British fighting forces in the dim and distant past. It may well predate the rum ration that was issued to the Royal Navy.

In dutch we have a saying: Fear has always been a bad advisor.

Is that where the english saying: Dutch courage, comes from.
17 th century English propaganda when we didnt get too well at sea implying that the Dutch got their courage from heavy drinking. Probably not true because they bloodied our
noses a few times and not my experience having lived in Holland an Belgium for a number of years
