Covid - news and views

I read that hospital Covid admissions are going up, no doubt due to the relaxation of "rules" I hope this rise settles down again. One of our daughters has spent the last three weeks recovering from Covid (she says she'll now get her third jab when she can!) A colleague working alongside her had four jabs but stil became very ill with Covid, much seems to depend on your own immunity levels and the fluctuating mutations going around. I'll wear a mask when I think it's necessary and the hand washing will continue!

Just checked the figures for Cheshire East, Brue  where over the last seven (7) days :--

  the Admissions are 4% down [good],

Tests conducted are 49% up [ good]

Deaths within 28 days   Up by 18 to 22 [ terrifying ! ]

 

Net result  Brian is still washing / sanitizing  hands as required, windows are cracked -- even here where I'm only accompanied by CT & BBC  sports !!  As stated a page back I carry masks in campervan & coat pocket -- all regularly sanitised  { I do have to point out to AD that I only wear one at a time, but am aware of the failings of the elastic requiring replacement ' unless somebody has a stapler to hand  !!  }

Forgiven David   --  The first person that I saw wearing Two masks at the same time was the Archbishop of Canterbury on TV and the second was the young lady organising us gerry hat tricks going for our very first covid jab at Miss Lawrence' Library MMU  Crewe!

I appreciate that masks as such are no magic bullet for C19 but I still find that organising myself in this way ensures that I keep my distance as suggested, my air fully circulating ( thank you Eunice et al ) and my few coins from unnecessary noise making   in my pockets.

 

Take care, Keep Safe  and keep on Caravanning

It seems but just a few weeks since we headed south yet it's now time to say goodbye to friends old and new, and Spain, and head north.  I just hope the UK has warmed and dried a bit as we have become accustomed to just shorts and tee shirts ... and not a needle in sight 😃.

Seems the promise that our heroic NHS staff would be rewarded for their work during the pandemic is, for some, so much hot air!

I’ve just heard that on the local news, M. They’ll get a day off instead. Pah!

In S Somerset cases and admissions have increased. (918 ppeople in hospital with Covid.)

That's a long way south of our neck of the woods but I imagine the figures will be comparable 😟. We will just ignore it until we get back 🙂.  

Anyone know if/when the PLF is due to be scrapped?

Also, I have just seen that Boots are selling LFT's at some exorbitant price.  They're only about 2 Euro each in Spain.
