Covid - news and views

It truly hasn’t gone away. It’s creeping out from the problem areas again, particularly the NW area, London and around Bedford. ☹️

takethe dog. Yes the infection came from a London visitor, the new two are locals. As most have been vaccinated here the symptoms may not be so pronounced which makes  passing it on by default more likely. Worrying.

The Aussies have the best and worst situations. National government have been inept, not least in rolling out the vaccination programme. They’ve also been very unsympathetic to nationals stranded abroad which hasn’t won them many friends at home. The federal states and territories have tended to be very proactive, isolating themselves from the outset and very quick to lock down hard for short durations at the first sign of a local outbreak. It’s a formula that works, but needs a different system of government and judiciary than the UK, where you can’t crack the whip without permission from Downing Street.

We understand they left very early in the morning returning to London !!

11/06/2021  BBC Evening News @ 10:10  is carrying alarming thoughts of the June 21 easing of restrictions  not going as far as thought 

Could it be that the G7 group might be confined to Cornwall for an extended period ?

It’s inevitable I’m afraid. With infections rising due to the Delta variant, the only sensible way is to delay further easing.

As to your second para, I sincerely hope not. Our economy and way of life will not cope.

Furthermore, many of the 5.5k imported Police are from areas of high infection rates and are too young to be vaccinated, as are our local Officers. The Police are mixing with the public as well as other Police Officers and are accommodated on a cruise ship which doesn’t bode well for containing infection. Already a member of a visiting Force has tested positive and a dozen are isolating.

 

Another Governmental SNAFU. We may not be released to go overseas but we can bring a ton load of overseas folk here, yup well thought out politicians🤷🏻‍♂️🙄

Very much a case of "Do as we say not as we do"

A question many are asking along with wondering why so few masks are in evidence.
