I have to say that in the early days of the current unpleasantness, I was reminded of the idiot ‘war correspondent’ in the classic ‘Drop the Dead Donkey’ when watching journos wearing chicken plate and hard hats, or reporting whilst wearing gas masks. In one ''gas mask on as I speak” case, the reporter was telling us how incredibly dangerous it was where he was standing, in Kuwait - and how everyone there “was panicking”… while in the background, unhurried road traffic was stopping and moving off at traffic lights.
