"Are you willing to risk the same or worse happening to a close member of your own family?"
When you have to resort to emotion, I don't feel it's worth answering.

3 more weeks of sheer hell to look forward to. Oh joy.
Might head of to England for a bit, as she will NEVER speak for me



Boris hasn't said anything yet! I suspect England will also be looking at 3 more weeks once they have devised their plan.

The R value is still too close to 1 and until schools and nurseries are open it is very difficult to expect parents to go back to work as many won't be able to due to childcare issues.

Well I for one won't be going very far for the rest of this year, unless there's a miracle. Much as I would love to go away with my caravan, it just isn't worth the risk, particularly as there are already plenty who don't seem to think that the lock-down applies to them.

Statistically I am in a "vulnerable group" by being over 70, but this is just statistics. Healthy teenagers have died, and there have been deaths in other age groups too, and they didn't all have "underlying health issues", many of them were previously fit and healthy. Conversely, some over 80s have had it bad and made a full recovery, so just who are the "vulnerable" that need to be sheltered? The truth is we simply don't know, and even the experts don't know. I wouldn't trust any of this government to boil a kettle, but the stay-at-home advice is sound. If they ease restrictions too soon, which I fear they might, all hell could break loose, so if they do I'm battening down the hatches!

I believe they are building compounds with 12 inch fences round them to keep all the pensioners hemmed in. (ok, im nearer a pensioner than a teenager myself. )

Listening to the No.10 report this afternoon I now believe the government has lost the plot. They are going to spend millions on getting people to ride bikes. Even if I could still balance on one at my age and with one eye, how would I carry 6 carrier bags full of shopping on the handlebars?

Not only that but have they never seen the Tour De France? Impossible to keep 2 metres apart. Surely, one or two people in a car with the windows wound up and the air conditioning on is much more healthy and no issues about social distancing.

I quite agree with everything you say we are turned eighty and got taken down with this terrible virus at the beginning of March or maybe earlier and I believe that we were very close to death we lost our sense of taste and smell/appetite , then terrible diarrhoea and vomiting I lost two stone in weight rapidly, my partner suffers with Asthma to make it worse for her. The Ambulance took me to hospital and after several hours and tests they said to go home I would be safer, following day Ambulance again and they said your Angina pain is because you now have pneumonia but stay home and rest and take a course of Antibiotics, happy to say we are very slowly recovering but breathing is still very difficult for both of us and we have to constantly rest to recover. So I reckon we will remain in lockdown whatever Boris says
And our Caravan looks so tempting stood on the drive
