Posted on 23/12/2020 09:43 by TakethedogalongSome areas of London are not far behind. It’s not looking good, and will be much worse in a weeks time.
I feel sorry for all the truck drivers, some have managed to find accommodation, but it’s still a shambles. I don’t blame other countries for being super cautious though, our country hasn’t covered itself in glory from a World perspective, either in terms of ability to manage a dire situation, or a willingness of its population to do the right thing long term and consistently. Many have, but are still being badly let down by far too many who won’t co operate as they should.🤨

In this case I do blame other countries, for not checking if they have virus mutations too and for thinking lorry drivers should be used to prevent the spread. There are queues on the other side of the channel too. No joined up thinking at all from the EU. The UK is a leader in research regarding the patterns of mutation, along with Sweden (I think?.) So I hope someone appreciates our efforts to confront the virus rather than use lorry drivers as a prevention method. I hope we get news about prevention generally, did I hear there'll be a further announcement on the 26th?
I agree with you TDA about the lack of cooperation at home but also elsewhere.

It wouldn’t be as secure PD, it takes a long while traveling for grapes to come from Egypt or Peru, yet maintain a freshness🤷🏻♂️☹️. It’s always wise to mix it but I was thinking of more regular & controllable. It only takes a bad storm at sea to disrupt future stock.

On 15th July this year we were all told that we have to wear a mask when inside an establishment. Why do people still use the phrase " I forgot my mask" 5 months later?!!

Because they will be Given one at most establisments,even when i was at our local hospital (cardio dept) a couple of weeks ago it was very noticable the number of people attending appointmentswho did not have masks with them then expected to be supplied from hospital stocks
Our Grandaughter(visited us yesterday after work with mask on) who is now working at Tesco while away from UNI has said the amount of customers,not having masks on and claiming "i am exempt" has dropped ,since the latest varient of the virus has taken off and she says security staff say some are regulars?

It may be with some of the older generation JV, those that won’t wear masks & take chances with others but it’s a choice. Most of us have not seen their children/grandchildren for months. Most of us recognised the ‘family bubble’ thing as a weak point to be exploited by the virus & ignored the bubble.

I have to attend hospital in a couple of weeks and the appointment specifically says " Upon arrival, all visitors will now be provided with a face mask to wear and will be expected to comply by wearing it for the duration of their visit ". Maybe patients have been turning up with face coverings which have not been suitable for minimising spread of the virus.
