The Coronavirus observational guide . . .



It seems that the PM Boris Johnson is going to announce a change in the lockdown restrictions on Sunday, or so we have been led to believe.  The government are now backtracking a bit and saying that the changes will be minimal. This is hardly a surprise as the moment it was announced some of the media were implying we would be able to rush off to the beach or have a wild party with all our mates in the park. This is clearly not the case.

I intend to remain very cautious although social distancing is getting trickier as I discovered today in the local but small supermarket. They have a one way system and have boxes which you enter to shop as the person in front leaves. The plan being that everyone moves round the shop at a safe distance. Well today a significant number of shoppers  had abandoned this system and were just going up and down as they pleased and were happy to stand close to others in order to get what they wanted.  This just makes it harder for the rest of us. 

I now know of another friend who tested positive for Covid-19. Luckily they are recovering well and have been allowed back to work. They are a health care worker in a hospital environment so were always at a high risk of getting the virus.

The news coverage on TV continues to give us every possible option on the economic future of the UK. I think the reality is no one knows because it all depends on a vaccine and that is probably a few months away yet at best.


A good place to hide
