Restrictions 

Rules/restrictions/laws are often a matter of what people can do with their popularity/support (power) and money.
As long as the restrictions were more popular with most people than using their own brains to determine what they should and shouldn't do, they would keep piling on, rather than end. Some things don't end without a fight.

Restrictions 

If the unintended side effect of restrictions and lockdowns is premature death by heart problems and lack of the kind of activity people got before the pandemic, what good are the lockdowns? Telling people there is a new normal, and giving them guidelines on how to exercise in it will never keep them as healthy as they were before the restrictions and lockdowns. The bullshit is bad for everybody, though the people and entities behind the lockdowns and restrictions are never going to openly admit that it's bad for people.
The restrictions and lockdowns are going to endanger and kill some people anyway, so what's the point? In reality, life is worth losing, that's what a scientist, someone in the business of healthcare, the WHO, the government, the media, or anybody else making money off the pandemic isn't going to tell anybody.

Virus restrictions 

When someone tells you that virus restrictions will end, they're usually assuming you think that they will end without you having to fight for it to end.
If the case numbers went up before each executive order on one phase was set to expire, what do people think will happen on the next phase? Another bullshit setback, another bullshit extension of virus restrictions.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
