If the weather holds up I'll be going for a socially-distanced sitting-in-the-garden visit to my parents this weekend. My judgement is that this will be OK. No bubbles here (unless OH decides to bubble with his Dad and neither of his sisters wants to).
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
Having just spent 3 weeks as a patient in hospital [ not COVID ], anyone who thinks this is all a joke, is a fool. Even now, with things so much better, there are still really sick people and lots of people who have recovered, are nowhere near back to full health.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
My son who is now recovering at home has been told he cannot even think about work for six months and if all goes well he may be back to near normal health in a year. He has a heart monitor and physio monitor which is for a nationwide trial. And all this does not include the mental health issues regarding work etc.
So pleased to hear your son is well enough to come home @floralies You must be so very glad to have him back home with you. My very best wishes to you all. Take care of yourself too. Big hugs x
@punkdoc it's so good to hear you recovering well too and now back at home. Take care, my very best wishes to you.
Thank you @star gaze lily, I live in SW France and my son is in England, I only wish he were here with me but he has his wife and family in the UK who are looking after him very well!
I have now been wearing a mask on the bus all week, first time this has been mandatory. In other news it was discovered today that many horses had already run off when owners went to lock their stable doors
I live in Birmingham and I used the West Midlands Transport bus yesterday and I reckon at least a third was not weaing a mask as opposed to Chiltern Trains who would not even allow you on Moor St platform unless they could see you was in possession of a face mask.
Been shopping a couple of times local pharmacy, 2 people in the queue (one in one out) one am guessing in her 70s, one in her 40s both wearing (surgical blue/white) masks around their chins, some one came to door (I thought cold calling was illegal!) about cavity wall insulation, wearing black washable type, removed it to speak, told him the error of his ways, he said it kept slipping, told him if he looked in the mirror, he didnt have it on his face or ears "squarely",he said oh right thanks for telling him. Dont expect it made a bit of difference!! When I get the the car door, gloves off, door open, mask off and in dogy disposal bag, then hand gel. I can see now why the government didnt bother with masks/face covering before.They come with instructions about not touching them etc, and pretty muich everyone takes no notice. I agree Punkdoc (glad you are on the mend) Troubles with viruses and bacteria (people cannot see them, so dont visualise the threat) course we HAVE seen them, under a microscope, so we KNOW they are there!
I think the problem is that masks make you feel hot and itchy so you are more likely to touch your face, we have visors at work and they are a nightmare so uncomfortable we all have a permanent headache and are also constantly touching our own faces to adjust them. We only started wearing them this week so that if anyone tests positive for covid the rest of the staff don’t need to self isolate.
Looking at the riots and protests lately about half are wearing masks and half of those have them underneath their nose or hanging on the chin, if we don’t get the second wave then we’ll know they were right and there was no need for any lockdown, somehow I can’t see that but only time will tell.
