Front page of the Express website today, "Britain faces threat of CHRISTMAS LOCKDOWN as winter second wave looms.". Dear oh dear, am sick of all this scare mongering going on in the press and media. Yesterday the daily deaths was down to only 48, but seemingly no positive outlook on this from...

Whilst in Poundland today I was pleasantly surprised to find that in the queue for the checkouts, that the floor markings for social distancing have been reduced to 1 metre apart! So that's another store along with Tesco which are easing social distancing in their stores. However I noticed the...

Yes, pretty much what I was going to post. I was pleasantly surprised to find that we've at long last reached a sub 50 deaths on a weekday. The rolling average for this week is looking very likely that it's going to be quite a fair drop compared to last week.

Excellent news that Tesco Supermarkets have gone back to near normal. A step in the right direction. We can't keep going with this social distancing nonsense for too much longer. Hope other supermarkets follow suite soon. We really need to be easing out of social distancing now...

155 total deaths today. Which isn't good. Coincidentally exactly the same number as last Tuesday. Tuesday's figures are never good, as they are such a big jump up from the previous day, due to the reporting lag of the weekend's figures. On a 7 day rolling average though, we are still going...

Also there have been no Coronavirus deaths in the South West for the past 7 days.

Just been out for a few hours out on the train to Gloucester and back. Nice 50 minute journey there and back. My longest train journey since early March. When I came back through Gloucester station I noticed the toilets there had a sign saying "These toilets are for Key Workers and Essential...

See what I mean. There's been hardly any difference! All the "Stay 2 metres apart" notices and floor markings still present in the supermarkets, shops, train stations, etc, etc. On the TV news and studio based programmes, everyone is still 2 metres apart! It should have been reduced to a...

Take a look at the photos of the streets of Soho tonight on the Sky News website. No "social distancing" going on there by the looks of it! It's absolutely rammed!

Checking Northern Rail's Twitter feed again now, and they're still at it. Although I don't live up north and don't need to use Northern Rail, this does really anger me that they're still coming out with their claptrap on the day when the lockdown is eased again and the travel and leisure...

Daily Coronavirus deaths yesterday were 67. Of course, that's 67 more than it should be. But this is the lowest weekday deaths now since 24th March. The daily deaths are continuing to decline. Will be interesting to see the weekends figure's, as we could at long last be down to single digit...

I see Northern Rail are STILL at it with their "ESSENTIAL TRAVEL ONLY" messaging. Even though a lot of the non-essential shops have been open for a few weeks. Pubs, restaurants, hotels, museums/tourist attractions re-opening today. We're allowed to go on leisure trips and holidays now. And...

Yes I'm sick and tired of seeing/reading the phrase "The new normal". I prefer to call it "The temporary normal", as I really hope it will be fairly temporary. Otherwise if this "The new normal" continues for months and months on end or even indefinitely, then the country is going down fast...

There was some glimmer of hope with Boris's speech on Wednesday about the post lockdown recovery plan. I can't find the exact quotes he said, but he said something like "I don't want this country to be where we are constantly having to be metres away from other people for the next year. We aim...

Yes, there's another one today at 5pm.

Indeed the transport network and people using it, can't really get back to normal whilst this social distancing is still going on. To accommodate social distancing, on single decker buses only about 10 seats are available to use and on double deckers only about 20 seats are available to use...

When I go for walks to go shopping or just go out for a walk, having to frequently "socially distance" and swerve to be about 2 metres away from any passing people, it reminds me of playing old video games from the 80's and 90's having to avoid the aliens, monsters, or whatever! I've taken some...

The longer this "Social distancing" nonsense goes on for, the more and more damage it will continue to do to the UK economy! There's more and more people being made redundant every week, more and more businesses having to close down, and if you're one of the unlucky and growing number of people...

Come 4th July and the reduction of social distancing to "1m+", I don't think it's actually going to make too much difference really. The official guidance is still remain 2 metres away from others if possible, if not then 1 metre. When passing people in the street or wherever, I have been...
