I go down my local shop every day and it's a busy place almost always. The amount in the shop stopped being monitored a couple of months back, social distancing does not happen and face mask use is probably 20% at most. Sometimes i'm the only one in there with one on. Staff don't have gloves...

I'm surprised that testing is picking up such a high proportion of cases if the 6000 figure is accurate. By the time you take off the asymptomatic cases (20 to 40% depending on which research you use), those who can't get a test who have it and those who think they probably have a cold and don't...

Looks like we're 5 weeks behind Spain, 4 weeks behind France. Spain announced 156 deaths yesterday and 239 today. Around 6 weeks back deaths were in single digits. French deaths are certainly going up but are still relatively small at the moment.

3991 today. Not good news.

Ah well, I gave it 3 months but COVID has finished my business off. Just handed my notice in and am feeling strangely contented. The last few weeks in particular have been a nightmare but at least the worry of basically spending money putting off the inevitable is over. The wife works for me...

Not being arsey but it does come across that way (sorry), but what does it show?

Then in which case we're buggered really. There's no hope testing will be able to cope with everyone who has a cough a month or so from now. Cases where people actually have COVID will not be discovered and it'll run rampant throughout the population.

Are the testing problems being mirrored across Europe? The UK has tested twice as many as France & Italy, 50% more than Germany too so how are we being so swamped? My facebook feed is full of people getting upset because they can't get a test and i'm in an area where we had 26 cases out of a...

I was sat upstairs watching MTV2. Eventually I wandered off downstairs to find the rest of the family sat watching it on the news. I then watched the live aftermath until the very early hours in absolute disbelief. There's often 9/11 related shows on the various History TV channels and still now...

Are we beginning to lose control again, like France and Spain to name just two? Test and trace seems to be stuggling and the less they manage to trace the more cases are likely to go up. As cases go up they will have more contacts to trace which in turn could swamp the system and we'll be back...

Rain forecast for tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

Mine's only 9 months old but there is no way she will be able to eat whenever she feels when she is older. he is fed at the same times so she's getting into a routine and at the moment half of what she has is what we have (less the salt and sugar), and half is healthy organic baby food. My wife...

Yes, I've been hearing this a bit recently. I suppose it depends on the timescales being used. Testing has noticeably risen compared to say June and July but the amount of testing has been very similar throughout all of August so I'm not sure that's actually correct. We are seeing a slight...

When I first saw the question I thought it would be a faily easy answer but i'm really struggling. I want to live through a time where medicine is good and life expectancy is high, so that rules out anything before 1900. I'm a lover, not a hater and would never want to live through or fight in a...

I went into my local shop last night and there must have been around 20 people coming and going whilst I was in there. Only 1 person had a mask on. There used to be a 1 in 1 out system but everyone's back to coming and going as they please. It's very much back to normal. I'm not sure what to...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-northamptonshire-53762233 300 positive tests in a sandwich factory in Northampton. All of whom work there so I would guess there will be plenty of family and friends also being confirmed in the next few days. Off the top of my head we've had breakouts in...
