She's an adult.  You all need space.  It is now up to young adults to realise how dangerous our situation continues to be.  Even if death reports are less in England, they are still level in Scotland and there will be spikes.  Roll on antibody testing for everyone I will feel a little safer - possibly  :-\

Anybody not happy about today's news? Still 377 deaths reported and the rate of new infections still high?
I'm very nervous about the new easing of restrictions as it seems like too many things together.
Schools, shops and being able to meet up to 6 people outside.

What's it all about? I'm scared. Why not just one thing at a time and see what happens? It seems to be rushed and we've gone this far so why risk it?

They use the infection rate as the gauge, not the death rate, as there is a time lag.

Who knows if it's too fast or slow, to ease lock down.  Seems like mostly guess work anyway. 

Can't say I'm scared though,  I just take each day as it comes.

Many Education Authorities aren't opening schools as parents are keeping their children at home.

We don't know enough about this Virus but unless people go out and about ........ and there will be spikes as has been seen in Europe.  By shutting down it stopped, almost, the NHS being overwhelmed, though I understand in recent days, that several Hospitals have been close to capacity or turning away all potential patients. 

Bugga - BarBQues will start again  >:(

Hello again ladies.

I assume the easing of the Lockdown is more to do with economic and even political factors than medical ones. People are desperate to get back to work and earn money, the government wants to end the furlough scheme and    patience is running out. Unfortunately the virus isn't singing to the same song sheet so I will continue to social distance.

Hopefully we will soon have a vaccine or other treatments but for now the only weapon in our armoury is social distancing and good hygiene.

Take care everyone.
