State of Emergency Covid-19 (Part 6 - Lockdown)

[Roobarb]

The figures for confirmed cases in my area have been published but to be honest I find them a bit pointless when the majority of cases are not being tested. I'm not suggesting that all possibles are tested, that would be a waste of time and resources, but I'm wondering whether these comparatively low levels that are being published are leading to the dismissive attitude of some people.

I think you might be right Roobarb. The highest number recorded for W Sussex last week was 10. Then witness the scenes in Brighton and all along the coast at the weekend, they even ran a huge car boot in Brighton.

I agree Sandra, but what I find even more disgusting are those who are now scamming people with sale of fake sanitisers, false offers to run errands for the vulnerable, health supplements" that claim to prevent infection and tests. Most are just after bank details.

Also this morning there was a piece on the radio about people spitting in the faces of police officers when told to break up a gathering.

A school, at an undisclosed location, appears to have solved the problem of children attending when they are not offspring of essential workers. It was revealed on Twitter "that we started with 44 key worker pupils on the playground. Each parent challenged by the Head. We had 18 at lunch".
I didn't think that would be legal but if it works!

Thank you Treetotal!

Those lyrics certainly made me smile and with the glorious sunshine this morning really lifted my spirits.  I will send that on to several people I know who are self isolating - I am sure it will raise a few chuckles.  I still have to go to work - off en route to nightshift as I write this on the empty bus apart from me and driver.  I almost feel like I am self isolating though as I only go out to work and for shopping and don't see people socially like I used to. 

You take care too and thanks once again.

That's disgusting as well. Some people are unbelievable.

I'm sure it is legal, as schools are only open for the children of key workers, so every head teacher should be challenging parents if in any doubt.

Think about it Groom, "we started with 44" - "we had 18 at Lunch". It must be my sense of humour ……
