Corona Virus Treatment

@JWK John,totally agree they are blaming patients for not wanting to go to the doctor, but it is their making.
My surgery has been going down hill for a long time and I think they are using this as an excuse to pretty much shut up shop.
They have in excess of 10 000 patients on their books, more houses being built all the time, it's going to crack at some point.

 

Lockdown will fall apart, we are being treated like mushrooms.

People are starting to trickle back to work, which will increase traffic, I cant see a problem regarding traffic as such, we are all in our own bubble.

 

I used to like Greggs when it was a bakers, but they seem to have stooped that now and are basically a sandwich shop with nothing baked on site.

 

And sadly the numbers will keep going up, like it or not.

 

Mrs. Sandy Ground works for a company here that manufactures packaging material here. She was telling me that all of the machines are running at maximum capacity 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, but still cant keep up with demand. Added to that, the machines that usually make the material for flour bags, etc., are the same ones that are used for making....face masks!

Of course, as most people are aware, when we are told to do something, we dont want to do it. If we are asked, its easier to accept. Thats probably the reason the lockdown over there seems to be breaking down.

 

Today it is 22c and sunny with a pleasant light breeze. Sat outside "socialising" for the first time in months with a friend who installed a new high "comfort" toilet today following my knee replacement and hip revision. We sat in the lower dining patio area 2 meters apart having a drink. Gosh, was it nice having a chat about this and that. He has three teenage boys ... he and the boys have taken up vegetable growing and bread making, good news.

 

In think its breaking down because other counties are easing their lockdowns, and our government are not giving us any light at the end of the tunnel.

I seem to remember in the daily briefing about three weeks ago waffling on about green shoots, those green shoot appear to have died back and because Boris has been out of it, no body else wanted to make a decision.

Boris needs to come up with some thing today to actully show that its working because all we see is graphs that say it can come back at any time.
And I think it will.

 

I was under the impression that Sweden hasn't got a lock down?
Looking at something the other day and it was comparing deaths by million of population.
I think Sweden was the worst?

 

IMO we in the UK need to have some patience and continue this lockdown, yes it is slow, but please stay at it otherwise it will never go away.
I've been in lockdown for 6 weeks now, not been outside the house only the back garden.
We are all in it together and that's how it should remain.

 

Sweden 256
UK 384
Belgium the highest per million population at 655
