    I totally understand your point and to some degree I share it.

    I think the idea of "herd immunity" gives the impression of back to normal which o strongly disagree with.

    I think there will be some necessary risks to be taken but things like Footy, cinema, pubs, etc. Don't fall into that bracket.

    I think the way to move on is to reduce the lockdown, open up more of the economy but still focus on social distancing, people staying at home if it's non essential. Basically, go to work and go home for the time being. I'd be encouraging companies to do shifts where possible to ease the congestion on transport and in workplaces.

    This has all been a bit surreal and far off for me until this last week.

    My brother (70 yrs old, has Emphysema with degenerative lung changes) has been in hospital with alzheimer problems since about 4 weeks before lockdown.


    On Weds he suddenly developed a high fever and pneumonia. Had a Covid-19 positive result back today - just after he suddenly became much worse and they sent for his next of kin.

    He took me to my first ever football league match down in Chester when I was about 7. Cost 17p and 5p for a programme.

    Not expected to see the morning.

    FFS man!

    380 deaths latest 24hr

    Lowest this month this'll only increase calls for easing of the lock down

    Better news- let’s hope the trend continues and isn’t just another false glimmer
