Thing is you can only catch it if you come in contact with an infected person, so it seems sensible to not mix with too many different people. If one person in a room of 100 people has it, how many do they infect? I guess more than if they are in a room of 6 people.

What Doc said..
each area does have a good idea of the demographic of the largest numbers of infections, test and trace is not working perfectly but data is being collected.
Pubs etc being told to shut at 10 in some areas is most likely because transmission has been mapped among those in their 20s/30s who have been in the more clubby-style venues late (as looked likely from what I saw of Liverpool and Carlisle last weekend)
Restricting gatherings in the home will be because in some areas that's where transmissions have been mapped
- I've heard about a wedding party that stuck to the 30(?) people in the venue and then had about 100 people in a house and garden/marquee party afterwards and the bride's mum saw absolutely nothing risky/against the rules about that...

I’m only going on as no one else seems to be prepared to put their head above the parapet - probably all too scared to post. In a forum if someone posts a comment then if someone else cannot respond with an alternative what is the point of a forum?
Here’s a thought from a 76 year old ‘Lease do not claim to be saving my life while destroying by reason for living’

A lot of us don't respond as we don't like the confrontational nature that some respond with. Most of us do think things are black and white. Most of us have changed our views as more information comes to light and want to listen to well reasoned debate put in a polite and respectful manner

Don't think things are black and white that should say

once Covid and it’s impacts started to really bite, it was I suppose inevitable this thread would be more reactive and contrary and less informative and supportive. We are all suffering to various degrees now

We cant see my mum as she is in a care home, and rules are that only one consistent visitor can see her outside to keep her and the home safe.
I would love to see her, I miss her so much and she misses us but what can I do? I would never forgive myself if anything happened to her, or others in the home because i insisted on seeing her (which I cant so not even an option).
I am not sure if I will get to see her again and thats hard but she is now settled, and content and being cared for.

Serendippily - that's true to an extent but the thread was back to being much more supportive as well as informative for a couple of weeks.

Your mum's contentment and safety must be reassuring MM, sorry you cannot visit but hopefully knowing your brother visits must bring a little comfort to you x
