Posted on 22/12/2020 15:26 by moulesyI do wish folk would stop and think before rushing in with irrelevant replies to other's posts.
Alan - (a) we are not in Wales and (b) presumably when you were supporting your father in law it was well before the current pandemic.
Just to clarify my earlier post!
The lady in question already has a "support bubble" at home (silly me, not giving full details with my original post!
) so will be going to a different one, therefore not exclusive, and even if not going to a different tier will be travelling outside her local area (as defined by the government's tier 2 regulations) and staying for several nights before returning home.
To be clear my post was one of surprise that an 87 year old, dependent on others collecting prescriptions for her, should be considering travelling in the present circumstances, not a post of condemnation.
Hope that helps with understanding my original post.

He was in Cheshire and I in Wales but we would have still had a 'support bubble' at present.
This whole support bubble and not being able to change makes no difference as the support bubble is not recorded. If I needed to support one vulnerable person one week and another the next I would.

It would appear that in Holland there are 2 confirmed cases of the new strain of Covid-19, and 9 in Denmark. Apparently Sweden has closed its border with Denmark as cases there are rising rapidly.
Not surprising really, once it was found in the UK, then it was only a matter of time before it would spread abroad.
As for vaccinations, we are well ahead of Holland (I'm Dutch, so have an interest of course); they are planning to start on the 8 January, which is about a month after the UK started, so we're better off over here in that respect.

Posted on 22/12/2020 17:34 by WherenextI wonder how much of this "UK" variant is down to better detection at earlier stages? We do not seem to be exceptional in topography or demography to just be the only ones attacked by it.
Presumably Trump will be calling it the "UK Variant Disease" soon.

A new variant of the virus causing Covid-19, first spotted in Kent, could already be circulating - or have originated from - outside the UK.
But it was spotted here because of the strength of the UK's surveillance system, scientists have said.

Posted on 22/12/2020 16:18 by JohnM20Derbyshire Police issued fines to five people (four different incidents) earlier in the year for breaches of Covid restrictions. Because none of them paid the fines they have been taken back to court and have been given additional fines totalling over £6,500.00. Whether they will pay or not is another question.
