We were talking over our dinner tonight , saying how normal everything seems in our home apart from the restrictions that are in place, whilst in our hospitals it must be nearing total chaos God knows how the staff cope day after day. Regarding the numbers reported today they announced them a lot earlier so probably not entirely accurate. Stay safe everybody.
We've started watching less and less of it on tv. The first week it was on our telly every waking hour, just trying to watch the main bulletins now. It grinds you down.

You're so right , in the morning when I first wake up I really wonder if it is all a bad dream , you hear so many different opinions about the virus it makes me wonder if anyone actually has any idea about it at all, worry about my daughter & son in law with 4 boys who have to obviously go shopping regularly putting themselves at god knows what risks it's a truly awful situation for us all. Anyhow Rambo film on tonight he'd know what to do..😃

A worrying time for us all Stemo but respect to your other half carrying on , but have the same sentiments about lazy parents.

My step granddaughter or her partner go to the school to pick up the lunch provided for their youngest daughter,their elder daughter[who being severely disabled normally attends a different school]apparently doesn't qualify for this provision as they could still pack her off to school for the day but have decided not to risk doing so.

Blimey
so not key worker's kids lunches , she should be able to farm all those deliveries out to Borris's helpers
I would say you could do it Uncle Stemo ,but
 if the families are on free school meals then their houses are probably not worth casing ,let alone robbing  :-\

I think it would be helpful if they compared the daily death rate with last years.   :y

So they could say " 2308 people died in the UK today 708 of those were directly caused by Covid-19, compared to 1600 deaths on 4th April 2019."

Because I wonder how many of the 708 would have died today anyway or their demise was imminent:-\

Many.

Apparently the average number of deaths each year from Flu in the UK is 17000.
