My favorite reel is an old open face Mitchell. Got spare spools for it and everything. Favorite rod is a Browning.

When it comes to fishing gear it needs to be quality. Japan makes good fishing reels. My Okuma I think is made in Taiwan, that's solid. My Shimano is good that's made in Japan. My old Penn is solid as made in USA back the day, over 30 years old still going strong and reliable.

He created the lockdown on the country and is health minister, and then goes mountain biking, that's where I said he should stand down. Now we find out he's been driving his family to the beach. Lol. All the fun things we are banned from doing he thinks he can get away with. Lol.
That's the power trip of politicians and there double standards.

Our prime Minister
They don't have tests, and needed testing supplies like swabs, reagents, and masks to protect the testers.
A domestic mask maker was asked why he wasn't ramping production to supply hospitals. He said that he did that during SARS, and almost went bankrupt. Built a capacious factory to provide masks to hospitals, and when the emergency was over they went back to buying masks from Mexico. He had to lay off his staff, and almost went out of business. He wasn't going to do it again. Maybe they will offer overtime to their employees to build a few extra, but nowhere near enough to meet the need. The business situation is similar for other supplies/meds.
Waiting around for a private company to ramp production for a temporary demand means that the job isn't going to get done. Any private company that does that will be risking bankruptcy when the emergency is solved. US manufacturing can't compete with other nations in the long run for various reasons (such as lack of an honest dollar). So there will be no masks to protect testers unless the government builds a mask factory, which they refuse do in this country.
Most people with 19 have not been tested. Health departments have completely given up on locating and quarantining all infected individuals. They test and treat medical workers because many of them won't come to work if this isn't done. They don't have masks and other gear to properly protect themselves with. They tell the public to make a homemade mask out of an old T-shirt to protect themselves with.
The US is not a rich nation. A few percent are rich, and the majority are just getting by. The rich are taking an extended cruise on their yachts to escape 19. The majority are desperately building masks out of T-shirts, and have no way of knowing which of their neighbors has 19.

There are alot of annoying cyclists on the road. You know bikes are classed as a vehicle and people can only travel for essential services, but apparently the hobby and activity of cycling is not banned.
Whoever made the rules obviously likes going for a bike ride. Oh yea, the health minister got caught going for a bike ride.
Cyclists are classed as a vehicle and also they are classed as high risk.
Why am I banned from throwing a line in the water as an activity and people can cycle.

And since RFK wasn't much of a boat woman...she and her friends and kids drown.
She was just going to ride out the pandemic on her yacht...didn't quite work out for her that way. Spring storms and all....they have given up looking for survivors and are looking at this as a recovery.

The Crown retains the authority to tax the citizens...
The House of Commons and/or House of Lords (like our house and Senate) talk about issues, question the Prime Minister, and pass new laws.
The Prime Minister is the point person for much of the Governance of the Nation...similar to the president but...different at the same time.
The Monarchy relegated the day-to-day functions of the Government to the Prime Minister and House of Lords or House of Commons.

New York is in bad shape when this is a quote...
An estimated additional 180 - 195 deaths per day occurring at home in New York City due to COVID-19 are not being counted in the official figures. "Early on in this crisis we were able to swab people who died at home, and thus got a coronavirus reading. But those days are long gone. We simply don't have the testing capacity for the large numbers dying at home. Now only those few who had a test confirmation *before* dying are marked as victims of coronavirus on their death certificate. This almost certainly means we are undercounting the total number of victims of this pandemic," said Mark Levine, Chair of New York City Council health committee

It seems like America and Britain aren't all that different after all. I'm just really curious what will happen in this country comes April 15th.

Tax Day has been postponed already this year to...July 15th...maybe later than that...I don't remember.
Once upon a time kings and queens ruled Britain. Then the people rose up and demanded that they rule through parliament. The people liked their kings and queens though, so they let them stay in their palace.
Was it ever stated why New York got so bad? I think it's currently the worst infected state in the US.
