210 deaths in all settings in the UK which is a huge improvement. I think if we could have just kept the 'lockdown' for another 2 or 3 weeks, we could have really broken the back of it.

OT I know but the day when we see robots walking down the road is not that far off.

Fast becoming the Patio of England, unfortunately, as it gets concreted over.
It’s not unique in that respect, Doc, even though loads of villages are being despoiled because of over-population. Where it suffers particularly, though, is as a result of being the UK’s main road, rail and ferry gateway to continental Europe. And also through its proximity to London.I don't think that is peculiar to Kent. Shame though.
Consequently:
- Despite being a thin county, it’s had two motorways plus HS1 rammed through it. It’s pounded by traffic.
- Its trunk roads are strewn with litter, bottles of piss and bags of shite by lorry drivers dossing in lay-bys (and paying fcuk all into either the local economy or UK road fund coffers).
- It’s gridlocked for 35 miles for several days every time our strike-happy Gallic friends take industrial action. Which is most years. Operation Stack, we call it. Guess who pays for the extra policing as well as suffering the nuisance?
- Being their first port of call, Dover has long been a haven for refugees.
- London boroughs find it handy to re-house their welfare cases in Kent’s much cheaper properties. They specially like to dump paedos and other dross in the seaside towns.

Do you know why we have the second highest death toll? Maybe it's because we have an ageing population, maybe, just maybe other countries are under reporting their numbers, maybe it's because there are still thousands of people ignoring social distancing measures and continuing to spread the virus, maybe it's because we are reporting deaths due to Covid when in actual fact something else was the cause of death. We have been told on numerous occasions that you can't compare death tolls with other countries yet people still want to do so. And for avoidance of doubt and for others on here this is the new guidance which we should all be following https://assets.publishing.service.g..._HMG_C19_Recovery_FINAL_110520_v2_WEB__1_.pdfWe're not on day one and we have the second highest death toll in the world.
If people still call this a lockdown that we have suffered then maybe they should have gone to Spain, Italy, Israel, India, Pakistan etc and let's see how everyone would have coped
