  1. My mother do crosswords and when she is done she puts the crossword away and she don’t post anything online about it. Pure madness

  2. The ”New Normal” will be international travel for the rich only who can afford to get tested either side – No Plebs Welcome.

    1. *cough* testing is free here in Canada. That might be what’s in store for you Americans but that’s because you don’t like governments that work.

  3. If you are going to high risk countries or states you should be shamed, but I would say there are a dozen states and most of Europe with low enough spread I don’t see the big deal. Also travel to be with loved ones is essential no matter the destination.

  4. If we all stayed home as they say we should be then who would get the food and build or repair your homes? What is truly essential to our lives to be healthy? I enjoy being happy to be healthy and that does not mean being full of sugar or alcohol.

  5. WHY ON EARTH DOES ANYONE THINK ENVY IS PART OF SHAMING THOSE WHO RISK ALL BY TRAVELLING. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF SOMEONE COMES BACK WITH THIS C-19…THEY WON’T BELIEVE WHAT SHAMING IS ALL ABOUT!!
