Covid - news and views

Another topic hijacked

I think the advice, not to respond to trolling is sensible.

Hope the thread can get back on track. 

 

I am one who welcomes the extended period until July, I can still enjoy the amount of freedom this period has allowed, so another four or so weeks to vaccinate as many as possible is no hardship.

No, it means I made my mind up.

To return to the topic, again, I'm with Meth 100%. I said way back that the extra 4 weeks was both inevitable and sensible. There is evidence now that younger people are spreading the virus so it's clear there's an urgent need to vaccinate those folk before further easing of restrictions.

I read that David and still hold out hope. I have not yet amended our September booking. However, with us having the highest rates in Europe as of June the 14th, particularly in relation to France. I fear it might be more a case of them deciding they do not want us and reimposing a quarantine period. Particularly as our cases are almost exclusively the Indian variant.

The European countries with the highest rate of new infections are listed below. The figures are the rolling seven-day average for new confirmed COVID cases per million, up to 14 June.

UK 107
Spain 105
Latvia 92
Belarus 90
Russia 84
Denmark 78
Netherlans 77
Sweden 77
Greece 72
Slovenia 71
Portugal 71
Lithuania 67
France 58
Belgium 65
Cyrpus 63
Ireland 62

Sad to read today that Cornwall is being asked to ‘treble its efforts’ to reduce Covid numbers.  We are here at present and sadly we can see all too well why numbers are increasing and I do hope we aren’ t adding to that!!  We are trying to only visit quiet, limited number places but even Trelissick gardens cafe was fairly rammed a few days ago; we didn’t get to see the garden as there seemed too many people around so after coffee we left.  So far have only driven through St. Mawes and decided it was too busy to use the Co-op and I wouldn’t get out of car!  We drove through Perranporth recently, same there absolutely packed, no face masks in evidence and no social distancing anywhere.  Sorry holidaymakers but responsibility doesn’t end at home!!! 

Sorry but you are adding to it should of stayed in Yorkshire sorry holiday maker but your responsibility stay at home save life’s 

Thankyou, Heddlo, for recognising the problem and acting accordingly. Infection rates in the county are rising sharply and influx of people is the major cause. Thousands came here in connection with the G7 and positive tests were found. Holiday makers are also arriving all the time and may be adding to the rise in rates but they are also putting themselves at risk as you have realised.

I'd suggest avoiding the seaside towns for food shopping but try more inland places such as Camborne, Redruth, St Austell, Launceston. Shops such as the Co-op and Lidl are often less crowded than the big supermarkets. Evening shopping is quieter too.
