Areas other than the red zone are open now. I haven't had any trouble getting anywhere.

The Guardian loves this sensationalist c***. "Pandemic-style" made me laugh and if it weren't for your comment I'd have actually given them a click to see what they were claiming.

So, a unverifiable internet comment gets 💯% more credibility than the news outlet, without which we ALL wouldn’t know about any of it. Not to belittle or discredit his/hers comment… But there’s a thing to think about.

Haha yea I pretty much hold The Guardian and unverifiable internet comment in the same regard. It's the Fox News of the left.

Sounds about right. My first thought was, "surely they could just have security in the specific area of the meetings, right?" Thanks for the context.
