During Alice's adventures in Wonderland, she found herself in the presence of the King of Hearts. He wanted her to go, so he cited Rule 42: "All persons more than a mile high to leave the court." Heads turned to Alice. "I'm not a mile high," she objected. "You are," said the King. The queen testified that Alice is nearly two miles tall. "Well, I shan't go, at any rate," Alice said "besides, that's not a regular rule: you invented it just now."

[0 Min] Alice in Wonderland and Rule 42. A reflection on what rules have been applied to manage Covid 19.

[2 Mins] From chevrons on the floor to kids not singing in school, where do you stand?

[3 Mins 30] Prof Christofer Toumazou (Regius Professor of Engineering, Imperial College) and a PCR test that is possibly far too  sensitive?

[5 Mins] We need more granulation on resolution data e.g. discharged through death, with ill health, or effectively well. How do we judge out proportional action?

[6 Mins 30] The need for a circuit breaker? Let's discuss this. Don't treat us all like Alice.

[7 Mins 30] Are we trying to catch the wind with a sieve? Competing paradigm's in battle.

[8 Mins 30] What do you agree with? A CTA to think about all of our filter bubbles.
