COVID - general discussion - Temp Locked

I was quite alarmed when I saw our local covid figures this evening and also the local news about the new covid variant rising in the SW, new cases around Exeter, I wonder if higher tiers need to be introduced everywhere?

What do you suggest they do AD that they are not doing already?. Why don't you spare a thought for the French who caused it all against the advice of their masters.

AD , don’t believe everything you see on the news or reported ,there is lots of help by different organisations, yes things are bad but some of these drivers come prepared for delays , after all the French are known for closing their port at short notice

Maybe the Govt should encourage/fund a ferry link between the UK & a more friendly & more reliable country so trucks can deliver essential goods. It needs a long term solution.

It’s a generational thing so the psychology says-some older folk feel they’ve missed out on the good things in life & hold younger people responsible. It’s said it’s ‘reverse memory’ syndrome added to memory problems physically. Happily the majority of older folk realise they were young & also realise they too didn’t lead a faultless life so then forgive the young their youth. I’ve personally never been happier, I actually mourn the fact my children & grand children will never know the comfort I have for such a small price. The upsetting thing is the Covid generation that has had their schooling & formative years blighted by this virus will particularly suffer in years to come🤷🏻‍♂️☹️

I wonder if this "distressed driver" bit is a bit over-hyped. I can't imagine that long-distance HGV drivers haven't made at least some provision for food and water and we're all aware of "lucozade" bottles". It would be like driving in northern climes without a blanket and shovel.
