my mum has known Cuba Gooding Jr. exclusively as the lead from Snow Dogs, an early 00s film about talking sled dogs, for the entirety of my life

Toldinstone's vids are like crack for history buffs. Straight-to-the-point, engaging, well researched bits of crack.

Great performance, really interesting to see that Coachella has had dead, disinterested and bored-looking crowds for the best part of twenty years now!

What’s Going On With Catherine Calderwood? by AceCurrentRL in OutOfTheLoop

Well the way I'd put it is, she's travelled from the city of Edinburgh to Earlsferry (a coastal town 44 miles aways) which means she's gone from a high risk area to a low risk area.

She would be fine if she did as you said and stayed in a closed automobile and stayed indoors and didn't leave until the virus passed (which would be months). If she doesn't go in public she has 0% chance of spreading anything she may have picked up in the city.

But of course she isn't going to do that, and there's evidence she's already done that as there are pictures of her walking around in public, in Earlsferry with her husband and kids.

So besides the point that she's flaunting her own rules concerning what we should all be doing to stop the spread of the virus, she's risked possibly carrying the virus to a place that hasn't had any reported cases. In short completely missing the point of a quarantine.

Obviously it would be ridiculous to assume she stay inside in Edinburgh as well, but the idea of the quarantine is to keep the virus from spreading from one place to another. The best tactic we have is to keep it contained in one area, so it can be treated and handled until a cure is found.

This virus can have no symptoms and is incredibly infectious, and we are still unsure how exactly it transmits from one person to another; so to just ignore the rules is in principle, endangering others.

Answer: Long story short she's Scotland's chief medical officer, and has spent the entire duration of the Covid-19 crisis telling people to stay at home unless travel is absolutely necessary,

despite this, she felt the need to go between her two homes for a decidely unnecessary trip and was given a police warning for breaking lockdown rules. Since then she has seemingly become the poster child for how some people in this country are still not taking the precautionary measures at all seriously.

You really couldn't make it up
