      Hi @ricky101 ,
      Why not listen to what your local NHS is telling you. If it wasn't safe they wouldn't have advised you to go there.

      Dropped off some shopping to my Mum this morning - decided to stay 5 mins for a cuppa and a chat. I sat at one end of the garden - while Mum shouted at me from the other. It was like something out of Fawlty Towers...

        Not sure who saw it but there was a cancer surgeon on TV this morning.
        He said that his patients are down by 20% and they need to start opening up the hospitals for the usual work that they do.
        He suggested that the so called nightingale hospitals be the main centres for corona and other hospitals need to get back to treating other patients who are being neglected.
        We will have thousands dying of all the nomal problems in the future because they have been left too long.
        And let's face it even at the best of times the NHS is pretty slow.

          I had a phone consultation with my consultant, as I couldn’t see the images he was referring too, I asked for a copy of the image which she agreed was a good way of explaining to my family what’s up with me.
          As a word for an illness does not conjure up a description.

          My wife had a blood test done last week and it was done by appointment one in and one out, done in separate rooms not a curtained booth and nurse had the full kit on.

          good lot out NHS a nurse who treated me 6 years ago still asks after me, devotion comes from the heart and soul.

                  Good evening FC. My. You really are on form tonight. Must be those mushrooms from the M25. Your piccie of an overgrown M25 prompted the following.

                  Although this dreadful virus is so sadly claiming so many lives, nevertheless in all my lifetime, I have never known, experienced such peacefulness.

                  I began life amid the explosions etc of WW2, then like fellow mankind, I have endured the constan rumble of traffic and the contiuous screeching of emergency vehicle sirens. For a brief period. I can enjoy the dawn chorus and listen to the breeze.. It reminds me of that well known hymn, often called. The soldiers prayer...Oh still small voice of calm.

                  Just athought.

                    If only that was true - it spread like wildfire in Iran.

                      Looks like we are in it for the long haul. Prof Whitty is saying we might have to live with these "disruptive social measures" till the winter. I reckon they will have no choice but to let people go back to work though, the government needs to restart the economy to pay for all their borrowings, we will be bankrupt as a country otherwise.

                        I reckon social distancing will go on into next year while proper easing of the Lock Down won't be until the end of July (this year:dunno:)........but then my Crystal Ball does need a service..........

                          Personally social distancing is not feasible if I go back to work and I think there are lots of jobs that are the same.
                          Can you imagine when schools go back managing social distance all the kids.
