Boris Johnson is UK's Stalin

Quite harsh isn't it ?

Well I don't expect that Boris Johnson would round up opponents in middle of the night and deport them in Shetland islands, but regarding reducing distancing below 2 m (6 feet) it has the same approach to science as Stalin.

Stalin meddled in the soviet biology when he supported the theory of Lysenko against the scietinfic truth of genetics.

What resulted were a failure of soviet agriculture, famine and death of people, imprisonment of scientist who disagreed.

Boris Johnson is meddling business interests in the epidemiology of COVID and he wants to reduce the social distancing limit of 2 m.

Since 1934 when Wells and Riley they discovered the formula for estimating the number of infected people based of air circulation, it is admitted that the safe distance from an ill person is 1.5-2m.

The original document is hidden behind a pay walls so I could not retrieve it, but I found this article: http://jtd.amegroups.com/article/view/18723/html_1

From which I extract:

" Droplet spread and airborne transmission are two main routes to transmit respiratory diseases. Droplet spread refers to the passage of pathogens from a source to a susceptible through large droplets. It was calculated that droplets of greater than 100 m in diameter released from a height of 2 m deposited on the floor within 3–6 s with less than 1.5 m in horizontal distance at room air temperature and relative humidity of less than 60%, while droplets of less than 100 m evaporated within 3–6 s (17,25,26,30). So droplet-borne transmission is a short-range process, with distance less than 2 m due to the evaporation and high settling velocity of large droplets. "

So the safest distance to be is 2m.

Why BoJo wants to reduce it ?

The pub-industrial complex make pressures for it ?

The real estate price for restaurant, and shops are dropping?

Stalin in his demented mind,willingly killed people for creating a better world.

Boris unwillingly kills people for pub owners.

Brits drink your beer at home.

Make a grill in your backyard, invite some friends, buy beer from supermarket (is cheaper) and wear mask when speaking.

Staying in the open air, with few friend is safer than staying in a crowded room with many people.

The Brexit is good for EU

The split of Great Britain from European Union can be a good thing for EU because it is creating a challenger for Bruxelles bureaucracy.
If till now the EU official were complacent and they thought that no country will split from the Union. Now they will have to prove that governance is better than national governance.
On the long term they had to reform themselves to survive.
But on the short term they will punish UK, in order to discourage other splits.
I am worry about Great Britain. If they didn't succeed to impose in a  500 millions inhabitants market, how they will succeed alone ?
Now they don't have any more British empire as a cushion.
Even Australia and Canada are orbiting around USA.
India is independent.
African countries are attracted by China.
Brexit remembers me about another British blunder: "Made in Germany" trade mark.
In the late XIX , early XX century, British industry was heavily competed by the German one.
In order to rally in the defence of the national industry, the patriotism of British subjects, the British government enacted the obligation of producers to imprint on their products the country of manufacturing. The side effect was that people were seeking now products "Made in Germany" without giving a second look at the products "Made in England",because they felt that they were of better quality,

The parochial thinking that led to Brexit is not new in Britain:
A Scottish woman who travelled in Romania at the end of XIX century noticed that english products were missing from Romanian stores, being replaced with French and German products.
The few clothes catalogue that arrived in Romania were in Imperial Units, making the ordering of the products impossible.
One Bulgarian importer of British agricultural machines, asked the producer to change the colour of its products from gray to more cheerful colours to make them more appealing to the customers. He was refused.
No wonder that the empire collapsed, in early XX century.
