I actually made it to Church this morning, partly by accident (I’d gone to meet someone at the end of the service, only to find August ones have a later start this year), and was more than a little infuriated by a notice from the Diocese of Derby on the board outside about flu pandemic precautions.

Restrictions included - no passing the chalice, and no shaking hands during the peace.

Am I alone in thinking all these precautions and palava are totally over the top? We don’t do this for *normal* flu, which kills many more people, it just seems like a totally disproportionate response and waste of public money.

I wasn’t impressed. I protested by hugging several of my favourite parishioners.
