All kinds of strict laws were brought in, but governments and police chiefs said "Of course we'll use common sense applying them". And I haven't gone gone back and cross-checked them, but I know many of the restrictions, whether right or not, haven't shown a lot of "common sense", and I'm pretty sure there were a number of instances where things that in lockdown #1 were said "Of course we're not going to apply that rule in that way, because common sense", then in lockdown #2 they were applied in exactly that way (if not harsher again). And also rules that one state said "It's common sense that it won't be applied that way" were applied in exactly that way by another state. So much for common sense...Jon Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13434834424707954610noreply@blogger.com
