There is talk of increased restrictions, any guesses what they might be? Travel restrictions is my guess. |

Early pub closures Whatever they are they’ll be tailored to try not to affect business |

A couple of articles caught my eye this morning. The first from the guardian which says the increase in infections is (at least in part) down to Covid deniers. theguardian.com The second from the BBC suggesting we may need to find ways to live with Covid. bbc.co.uk I suspect we do need to be working towards the type of scenario that the BBC outline. However that requires a very large percentage of people to be responsible. |

Social distancing (in the street at least) isn’t actually much more than just being polite

Indeed. twice in recent days I have stopped and stood aside while running where there was going to be a very close pass. Both occassions involved a guy who gave the appearance of being 'argumentative'. Both said thank you.

I don’t believe it’s possible that giving each other a bit of space, wearing a mask / face covering when likely to be close to other folk and washing our hands a bit more don’t help. It’s hardly the end of the world when you have in mind the global death total. Anyway I also find it hard to believe we’ll have a vaccine anytime soon and without one living with Covid is what we will be doing for sure
