    Agree.

    My immediate neighbours have had at least one visit from another household and up to three per day during lockdown. A house at the other end had 20 people in a tiny garden earlier this week. You can't help hearing them talking in their garden about all the other people they're meeting.

    And this is in a village.

    Lockdown has collapsed.

    All loads of people now want to do is party in their front gardens all day, all week, just loud music and drinking the other side of the fence from the footpath, financed by the taxpayer, and forcing shielders into the road.

    And I'm talking village paths 900mm wide with no grass verge, so everybody walking past the partying idiots sitting in chairs tight against their front fence needs to walk the other side of parked cars out in the middle of the road.

        A big survey by the Office of National Statistics (ONS) completes today and goes to government departments and the Cabinet Office tomorrow. Their raw statistics usually get published later.

        They have been asking lots of questions about people's thoughts and attitudes on Covid, the lockdown, how they are coping, how their general financial situation is going, how they think the whole situation is going and what they think the outcome will be. Interestingly, they aren't asking about people's personal physical health situation but do ask about their mental health situation. I'd have thought that both were interconnected.

        The ONS are a good organisation and just collect and collate the info. It's up to the 'experts' and the politicians :mute: to interpret them.

          Just read an article about ASYMPTOMATICS...the silent carriers.

          This invisible mugger has all the Aces up its sleeve. I think it will, over time, take whomever it chooses to take. Most will survive, but some will not.
          I cannot bear the thought of a "COVID POLICE STATE".
          I would not wish to live my life in that way,

              I still think we are being kept in the dark about a lot of what they must know by now.
              Any thing that would make so called lockdown less likely for people to follow is not being let out.
              You just get this wall of "well we really don't know " when ever certain questions are asked.

              I'm still very suspicious about the official line that we don't know if you can catch it twice and suggesting that antibodies might not work.
              So where does that thinking leave all those labs all over the world who are trying to create a vaccine.

                        We had a distance of a tennis court between the next group /family down on the sands at Pett Level ( Winchelsea beach end )..this morning. Brisk Easterly but walking along the sea's edge away from the rest was sheer magic.

                          When you go out and there is a crowd its not your fault, its everyone else's, all wanting to go to the same place as you;).
                          Well maybe after this they will start to realise just how crowded this little island is.:biggrin:
                          But I dont suppose they will.:sad:

                            I just don't get the need to drive to the seaside and beauty spots. It's pretty obvious others are going and will have the mentality not to follow any guidelines or take precautions. I heard there was a 45 minute queue for the single disabled toilet which is disgustingly dirty at the best of times, car parks and surrounding areas have become open toilets - what a load of morons.
