The reproduction rate has risen to 1.95 in Berlin, authorities said – meaning each infected person in the German capital is passing the virus on to nearly two others. Berlin’s health minister Dilek Kolat said it showed a “trend reversal”

And here in the North East Hamsterly forest had to close on Monday after saying they had received a record number of punters. A town near Barnard Castle, called Middleton in Teasdale was shut down by the police due to the amount of visitors.
And a report is now out showing that Dominic Cummings parents have not paid council tax on their property and the 2nd house on the land did noit have building permission. Apparently they only had the ok to build a swimming pool but built the 2nd house as well.

How many known Covid patients were sent from hospital, to care homes, without information being disclosed ? Name just one hospital that did this.
You do realise that any patient discharged to a care home will have been by agreement of the local authority or manager of private care homes.
Patients discharged to care homes were also isolated for 14 days. Test or no test.

Any patient discharged to a care home will be by agreement with the LA or the manager of the private care home? Did that form the ‘ring of steel’ thrown round care homes ensuring the infection was kept out? If what you say is true, how did it get into the care home sector? By the way, this isn’t a criticism of the government as most of Western Europe have been guilty of exactly the same thing. Pretending it didn’t happen, rather than looking at why it happened, will not stop it happening again.

At the same time, albeit 2 days ago.

“There are three indicators for assessing the situation in Berlin: In addition to the reproduction rate, the number of new infections per week and 100 000 inhabitants and the proportion of Covid-19 patients in intensive care units. The other two indicators were in the green range on Monday. If two of these three indicators were to exceed certain limits, politicians would see a need for consultation or action.”

Come off it mate, everybody looks for path of least resistance, which is buying them off eBay & Amazon etc. British mentality.

Last resort is using something homemade.

Ebay and amazon are awash with fakes though. People exploiting the situation. This morning I got a text from my GP surgery saying that they are asking all patients to wear a “face mask or face covering”. “Face covering” is specifically used to cover all bases, in particular homemade coverings, or using clothing that can pull over your face like a snood or whatever. The text also had a link to the government website and a page telling you how to make your own mask from a t-shirt.

You can disagree, but this is from the NHS/Government. We are not rolling around in medical grade masks, we are being encouraged to use absolutely anything we can fashion into one.
