 ... WE All  have to be careful  and do the right things for our fellow men and women, so I am hoping that people are becoming more sensible as they read the news and new information to be adhered to by ALL , now, not when they feel like it

Louisa, I hope too, people who are in denial see the reality.

Professor Paul Elliott, director of the REACT programme at Imperial, said: “While our latest findings show some early evidence that the growth of new cases may have slowed, suggesting efforts to control the infection are working, the prevalence of infection is the highest that we have recorded to date. This reinforces the need for protective measures to limit the spread of the disease and the public’s adherence to these, which will be vital to minimise further significant illness and loss of life from COVID-19.”

Imperial College say the R rate needs to be well below 1 to bring the current high Virus results under control.

Figures just mentioned verbally by Imperial
Say about 1 in 100 of young people have the Virus and apparently 1 in 200 in an older age group are also Positive and our infections are still far too high.

Recent Testing in England shows the Daily infections have doubled in a week.

Midlands Police are receiving about 300 reports of Covid breaches a day.

I suspect you have already heard that the first of the £10,000 penalties have already been handed out for serious breaches.

In my opinion so they should be, anyone who flouts the suggested rules should be fined, whoever they are

I'm especially mad at that MP.  In her 'apology' she said she should have sought advice on what to do.  She's a supposedly capable adult what is complicated about the idea that if you have covid you don't travel right across the country, go to work (in a busy place) then travel back across the country on public transport!

I think the fines for refusing to supply contact details should be £10,000 for first offence and £30,000 if you supply false details. Supplied details should be checked against passports at ports & airports and other evidence driving licence etc., should be supplied in other instances.

I have heard some people make you call them so that it comes up on the caller display to prove you've at least given the correct number.

Aren't these spot checks on people in quarantine done by phone. Passports don't have phone numbers or addresses on. And if a  mobile number is given, who's to know where the person actually is when and if they are called.
