I went out for about 20 minutes. There's still too many cars on the road IMO.

(nod) yesterday driving into work was quite busy.

I'm expecting to be very surprised next week when I start deliveries. I was kind of expecting a 28 days later kind of feel, by at the moment it's more like any other weekday afternoon.

I expect if the weather is good people will be out in big numbers over Easter weekend. If they are, I suspect the Goverment will strength the lock down legislation further. Not good for anyone.

Saying that I do feel for City residents, especially in this hot weather. Must be hard stuck in a small apartment with no garden. I've been in the garden or out doing my hours exercise and hardly been in the house all day, must be hard for those in more challenging positions.

We went for our daily walk and came across a group of about 10 teenagers having a bbq on the Chase.

There was a woman having a run and she was so appalled she rang the police the minute she was out of their eyesight.

I know West Mercia police were suggesting they would pass details on to social services if they found groups if kids out as they consider it neglect in the current climate.

So the prime minister, who told people not to worry and bragged about shaking hands with people at hospital, contracted the virus, had two immigrant nurses look after him, then left hospital, picked up his pregnant girlfriend then travelled about 100 miles to his second home.

It's like the script to a really bad movie.

Just shows how absolutely thick he is.

I wonder how he will justify the tax increases to pay for his bad decisions?

I got stick last night for sharing a post from a nurse at a local hospital who was appealing for anyone to provide PPE to her ward as they had run out.

My brother has spent today phoning round to chase PPE for the staff in his Trust. It's an appalling indictment of where we are at.

Yep, a right proper twat,,,,, I turned the news off this morning, it was only a matter of time that cross party working together failed, its started the bickering and pot shots at each other about how they are handling it all.... And what is the band wagon they are jumping on... PPE kit.... next will be testing and next will be, they should have done it like this....... Bunch of muppets.

I see the curve is flattening in the South and now rising in the North of England..... Devon and Cornwall have been turning back caravans.... seriously there are some really thick people on this planet.

One the plus side I found a company, who are doing deliveries of fruit - veg - bread - Milk deliveries ... Local post codes only, but it arrives tomorrow. lets home it is decent. I cant get a slot on for collection from the super market at all now :(.

I dont mind going out to the shop, my concern now is the people who are not taking this seriously and could be passing this shit on!!!

You can add in that the Governments of the world are likely to introduce a mobile phone app that will track our every move and everyone we come into contact with.

Yes, because a few thousand government employees have nothing better to do than track the whereabouts of tens of millions of people, 24/7.....???
Do you seriously believe that's there's a likelihood of this happening??

Its the groups of people that is stupid. There are some genuine people who live in the city with no garden who want to use the parks sensibly, within guidelines the same as we use our gardens or go for an hours exercise as one household. The majority of people seem to be doing the right things but a minority of idiots are behaving very inappropriately.

We've been on alot of walks down the woods and river and what I've noticed is groups of mates going on group bicycle rides, which is clearly not social distancing. On Saturdays walk we came across 3 blokes clearly not from the same household getting drunk out of their minds (could barely stand up) and jumping into the cold river by a fast flowing weir. Not social distancing but wreckless and dangerous behaviour which could easily end up in a fatal drowning.

Some people are very stupid and selfish .

Macron has just extended our lockdown to 11 May, which is another 4 weeks, so basically 2 months so far.
