Covid - news and views

It is heddlo🤔 All management, containment of the virus in England has now passed to employers, service providers and individuals, who have to decide/risk manage the situation for themselves. 

During the majority of UK winters Flu infects large numbers of the population.  The vast majority recover in a couple of weeks, some need treatment and possibly a stay in hospital to help them get over it, and a smallish number die.  Mostly the effects do not make the news.

There is little difference now with what is happening with Covid 19 except that we now know more or less daily how many are infected, how many need hospitalisation and how many die. 

We now more or less have our freedom and it is up to each of us to decide how we act in our own best interest.  Lock yourself up or go clubbing or anything in between it's your personal choice and responsibility.  Enjoy.

Went to an indoor shopping centre this morning, a fair few people there and only saw two people ( together) not wearing masks. So pleased to see that most people are being sensible. In my opinion our government should have kept the face mask rules. Came back past the beach, seriously you couldn't put a pin between the family groups it was rammed.

Because we have it in our village thanks to Euro finals TV and then a wedding in the pub it has "sobered" us locals up a bit. Not having the pharmacy open in the next village and hearing that people have been quite ill even after both jabs has been a reality check.

Our hedges need cutting, but the local chap is out of action and if we need a plumbing job we'll have to wait till they are all given the all clear too.

So we'll proceed with caution.

Get double jab by the end of September or be refused access to crowded indoor venues. Well done the Boris 👍.

If you don’t do as we advise we will make it mandatory. What is the point of advise.

Took a while for the penny to drop though, and a further six weeks before it becomes compulsory, plenty of scope for transmission there! Stable door and horse come to mind.

One of his(advisers) better thought out rules-no pay no play👍🏻. I’m strictly against mandatory vaccinations but creative enticing is excellent.

I doubt very much that will happen-there’s a World of difference between health care professionals & the electorate.

I would disagree. The transmissibility is higher and this is happening in summer. A time when the health service normally gets a bit of a break.
