Surely with infection rates so high and God knows how many that have had it, you would assume herd immunity would kick in shortly.

Very impressed with the testing today got my result in 30 minutes.

I am finding it really annoying going to the shop to get food supplies and seeing whole families shopping still.

Great. So in a month the locals will have no beds in their own hospitals because they've been taken up by Londoners.

That might happen mate given the scale of the emergency. I guess the numbers transported from London will be limited but there is a risk

Vitamin D
Vitamin B
Vitamin B12 Complex
Iron(As i have an iron deficiency)
Vitamin C
Cod Liver Oil Tablets(Omega 3)
Plenty of water throughout the day
A banana a day for potassium

Vit D should be taken with vit K to prevent calcification in blood and joints.

Just wanted to praise the good burghers of Kidderminster today. Everyone wearing a mask today at Sainsburys. Sadly there were no staff at the door checking people had washed their trolleys and sanitized their hands. That has to change.

Why I’d never use sanitizer what other people touched

REGIONAL SCOREBOARD SUMMARY

With today's huge reduction in cases nationally a lot of falls - but unfortunately not much of one in the North West.

This region is now fast becoming the big area of concern. Down just 515 - compared with nearly 2000 in London and 1600 or so in the East.

Even Yorkshire fell 308 to just 2236 compared with the North West's 7156.

The North West has in fact today had MORE cases than the East which only had 6979.

Two weeks ago the NW had 1618 cases to the East's 5042.

As you can see the epicentre is clearly heading here.

We still have too many idiots on the loose. Watched a neighbour having a conversation on their doorstep with a family who had called on them. This in itself is against the rules. After about 10 minutes they all went inside! Of course they know each other so obviously aren't going to catch it because you only catch Covid from strangers as the families of 80k who have died can no doubt (not) confirm.

Bristol hospitals have been admitting London patients, they have been airlifted in daily for the past 2 weeks.

Way off. Probably less than 20% infected yet. This can get a whole lot worse yet.

What further restrictions are they suggesting?

For a start they are saying that there are to many kids attending schools and nursery, some schools at 50% capacity. More people working not from home compared to the first lockdown more people using public transport compared to the first lockdown, places of religious worship open etc. All these are spreading the virus.

Me neither, the only person to have touched my sanitizer is me, I take one in my pocket wherever I go, same with wipes, if I wipe down a supermarket trolley it's with my own wipes.

Wonder how many parents don’t know that Tarquin and Belinda can access on line learning via Google Classroom and Microsoft Teams on their Playstations and X Boxes...
