   must have had a blue moon in these parts. Ooh I've been decluttering recorded programmes as well as stuff on Netflix and prime . Well someone's got to do it!

[jillydoll]

That bird was hilarious Jay, I want one. 😆

[Ju Ju]

What do you do with your peg dolls? That sounds really interesting.

[Tc]

Great Teresa. Xxx

[Ju Ju]

I hope your peg dolls are social distancing, Teresa!

Gordon took his family to Cornwall way B4 lockdown was even mentioned.  It has to be the main residence.  As for his family visiting, that should be a Police matter.  Unless it is an 'essential' journey they are breaking the Law.

Maybe stores have regular shoppers who haven't been infected ?  We tend to go to the same girl when we pay and we haven't been infected thus far.

Son has been speaking to some head teachers who have worked out they could get 7 kids into some classrooms under current distancing rules - hmm!

How the hell is that going to work?!. At my DC's school classes of 25+ are the norm. Are they going to have to go in 1 day out of 3, possibly 4.

Schools can't just magic up extra space.

[Barnacle]

A bit twitchy about going to Addenbrookes on Monday.Apparently we can pull up near the dept. Hope there aren't people waiting..

Hope it all goes ok for you Teresa. My DH took someone there on Wednesday and he said it was very quiet still. I will be thinking of you x

Not sure what triggered it, but Twitter is awash this morning with comments about and by shop workers up and down the country, and indeed abroad, about how few of them have succumbed to the virus despite being on the front line day after day.

Just did a shop at the local newsagents. They're such a cheerful couple and have gone out of their way to try and stock things people are asking for. They must be face to face with SO many strangers every day, they've been working all hours.

Its all a bit of a mystery isn't it?

Ive been wondering why if one person in a household gets the virus it then why dont they all ? If someone gets a cold in a household the chances are someone else will catch it

Totally understand that Teresa.
I've just spoken to my mum- she says she's been called by her hospital to be offered a routine eye appointment for Monday afternoon. Shes's 87, has Alzheimers and is supposed to be shielding for 12 weeks.
I'm thinking it's a no for now.
it's great to see Hospitals trying to get back to normal but not sure how it works if you?re trying to follow recommended Government advice 

[Taz2]

Yes it's not the law but you can be fined for not adhering to guidelines. I think that's what CLKD probably meant?

I thought that, under State of Emergency .......... otherwise the Police don't have power to stop people.

Why can't disadvantaged children go back into school first?  So that they get a chance to relax and catch up a bit?  It's nearly long Summer hols anyway 

It's OK for people to visit if they are keeping a distance.  We simply aren't that sociable  .  Especially if they are all symptom free and particularly if they walk places/back home.

Our roads appear busier, I think it may be that Facebook has been gathering troops for food box drop offs etc.. 

I don't think that Hospitals would consider putting the public at any more risk than usual when one attends.  Many aren't involved with C-19 anyway.

Two staff at the Yorkshire Ambulance Service (YAS) have died after contracting Covid-19.

The service's chief executive Rod Barnes said it was with "great sadness" that he confirmed the deaths.

An advanced emergency medical technician from North Yorkshire died on 28 April and a specialist paramedic from West Yorkshire died on Thursday.


Until there is a Public Enquiry these deaths are in vain 

[Barnacle]

L
Barnacle - Truth is I don't think distancing will ever work in schools. If parents are returning to work though, nurseries and schools either have to re-open or grandparents have to be given the greenlight to share the childcare. Don't see any other way.

Yes, especially the little ones at primary schools.

My DC's school covers a large rural area, i think there are about 25 different buses each day, so if it starts spreading again......

Definitely more traffic on the road around here too today.

[Sparrow]

There is likely to be more traffic on a Saturday as there are still many people working during the week.

I can't say I'm scared either.  Concerned maybe.  Slowly going mad
