According to the News today, some one has had a bright idea - get the various leaders of the UK together to decide on an overall plan ........  ;D.   I was laughing so loudly that I didn't catch the name of the bright spark  :D

Update from Wales:

Non-essential shops and gyms in Wales will reopen at the end of the lockdown on 9 November, the Welsh Government's chief law officer has said.

Jeremy Miles said ministers were working on a new set of national rules when the firebreak comes to a close.

At a press conference he said churches and places of worship would also resume services, and bars and restaurants "will serve customers".

He also said Public Health Wales would confirm a further 37 Covid deaths.

It was not clear at the press conference whether pubs and restaurants would be able to fully reopen.

Why would I want to use the plunger after someone who may be infected? Who sterilises the plunger  :-\. I take my own small bottle ;-).   ::)

No touch would be good around the home too.  Hot air driers however take too long in the kitchen.  I tend to dab my own bottle on anything I've touched!

I'm not prepared to take that risk so carry my own bottle ;-).  Masks washed every 2/3 days on a hot cycle.  None have shrunk. Yet  ;)

Stood waiting just inside Matalan today for a lift and no one coming in was using the sanitizer. So then we're all touching the clothes they touch. A fortnight ago a staff member was standing inside by the sanitizing station..Now it's just sitting on the side and no one's using it. All self service at the tills which I got in a middle with. ::)

All the shops provide sanitizer on the way in but most shops have a separate exit and there isn’t any sanitizer to use on the way out when you have touched everything.

1-way idea went out the window in most supermarkets around here. Village shops have stuck with it.  Sanitiser is on hand ......

Luton has gone into lockdown .....

I was all in favour of the last lockdown but I don't see the point of doing it again. Done that, didn't work. More businesses going bust, more lost jobs, higher and higher taxes in the future to pay back the enormous debt - and all so that we can party at Christmas and spread it again. I'd rather cancel Christmas and still have jobs.
Apparently 90% of those who should be isolating don't do it properly so it doesn't matter how good (or bad) track and trace is it still isn't going to work.

Agree totally sheila99 also with the article shadyglade.  I am seriously worried for the future and the damage the lockdowns are causing.  Will there be more panic buying and queuing in the cold and rain at supermarkets.   Feel really depressed.

I am seriously worried about the future of my three children, two teens, one early twenties who are all depressed to some extent and my youngest is so exam stressed, GCSES 2021, it is horrible to see. Also eldest adult son has been worrying for weeks waiting to get testing done for a medical condition, fortunately that was done this week.

I have never felt depressed but i am beginning to feel really down with it and we are lucky as our jobs are both in a safer field, well hopefully!

It worked: 'to save the NHS'. What Boris never told the public was that there are not enough staff to 'man the lifeboats' when required.   I mentioned yesterday whilst out and about how much traffic there is again considering half the country is in lockdown  :-\

Having worked in the NHS; with a sister that left due to unsafe working practices: she and I actually agreed that Nightingales haven't been utilised due to lack of staffing across the UK, people can't be spread any thinner !! - the Nightingales in her area were being prepared in April/May as morgues due to not having enough storage space.  We rarely agree on anything so I was quite surprised!    It didn't last though  :-\

Spain is in complete lockdown and it's threatened that France will follow.  It's a bit Trial and Error thus far.  Yep Taxes will rise but mayB if we in the UK had paid more we may not be in quite such a situation now.  However, the less people in work ........... and if areas are C-19 free, then work should continue?
