New Glenn looks very promising and will functionally compete with Falcon Heavy if/when it is completed
New Glenn is developed by Blue Origin which is privately funded and was founded by our good friend Jeff Bezos.

Sorry, stopped reading there. Get a grip.
The police in the UK don't even carry fire arms.
It depends on what part of the UK you're talking about, in Northern Ireland they absolutely do carry firearms.
BTW you CANNOT call-in sick for more than one day without a doctor's note, and even those one-day sick leaves can get you Bradford-ed based on an undisclosed algorithm if you abuse them (so try to avoid them if possible).
Not true in the UK public sector, you can "self-certify" for up to 3 days (effectively write yourself a note saying you were too sick to work). Good luck firing someone for being sick for too long or too often, try proving someone wasn't suffering from a chronic mental health or pain problem when you're hauled in front of an emplyment tribunal. Getting a note from your doctor to say you were sick is trivial because not only are they so overworked that they just sign it without even reading the details but they also charge for each letter and that's money directly into their medical practice's bank account rather than from the government so it's very profitable.
(Actually, there is one major factor missing from SARS-CoV-2, but I don't want to give any bad actors any bad ideas.)
I'm sure those with the capability of manufacturing bio-weapons are very frustrated that you aren't revealing the One Weird Trick they are missing to make it truly deadly.
