national cases have crept up the last two days.  I find it all very worrying that most people seem to think this is all over.  I am in a FB group which is run by a hospital doctor, hospital admissions have gone up for three consecutive days too.  He reckons second wave could be in around 3-4 weeks time.

I didn't notice cases had gone up.  I know they vary through the week due to a reporting lag at weekends.  It's the 7 day rolling average that is the important number, and as far as I know that is still going down.

Thanks jaypo, that really good news

Deaths in Northants and Norfolk rose since Wed 

Experts tell the public that there is unlikely to be a 2nd wave ..........

Less people packed in side by side?

By now of course these marches should be stopped.  Riot Act springs to mind but of course  same as pulling statues off plinths, that is MY history

Tin hat on, waits for the outrage...

I agree though, behaving like thugs doesn't help the cause.

Hello ladies

Good grief Clkd, you had me thinking you were related to slaves traders for a minute there!

In my opinion our nation's history is important which is why we conserve artefacts in museums. This is where the the facts are recorded unemotionally and in context. Perhaps the problem with the statues is that they are memorials therefore praising the individuals concerned.

Take care all.

I think museums are a good idea for lots of them.  How often do we see a statue and have no idea who they are, or what they did.

You can't change history, good or bad, but information and context is vital.  History is all about interpretation and one persons hero is anothers villian.  Slave traders are a different thing though.  Why on earth was that Bristol statue not taken down decades ago.

I've just had a letter from the NHS asking me to take part in a COVID-19 testing research.  Apparently its being conducted by Imperial College London and IPSOS mori.  Has anyone else had this?  If I sign up, they will send me a testing kit and I have to complete some health questions on line

The letter says I was chosen at random from the NHS list.

Jeepers. Do you think it's the antibody test?

[Sparrow]

Oh, that would be interesting.

So I can't be insulted that my history is being damaged?  Why can't I be insulted when students flock to Oxford then slam the staute, after all if it handn't been for Rhodes putting money into the University, they wouldn't be here. There is no logic ..........

It's vandalism.  Marches should be stopped, aren't we all being told to stay alert, save the NHS etc.?  Not to mix with more than 6 people ......   It's time that the Police took action and did what they are paid to do: that is not to be political or on the 'side' of anyone but to enforce the Law ?!?

I come from a slave trade town ;-).  But on the abolitionist side. 

Jeepers - it's not an anti-body test, they aren't available yet.  My friends are taking part in similar through another organisation: throat swabs and lots of questions with a dedicated Nurse visiting them at home.
