Coronavirus

Let's hope the "Don't ride in groups" changes before 11th July for the RT meet Saturday ride out.

There is definitely an increase in comings & goings, including into households.

What is it like where you are?

I'm still following the guidance of "Stay home whenever possible".

Went out yesterday with the better half, her first outing since lockdown other than blood tests at the GP. She's immunocompromised so has had to be a bit more careful. But loads of bikes out & cars too.
Been out for essential supplies this morning & lots more traffic.  Looks like things are calming down .
London is well over the pandemic with only 24 cases reported.  Other figures I've come across are saying the cases overall are in the 0.002%.Seems that the mayhem was just hysteria...

Hard to take anybody called " Knut" seriously.

"Do not to stop or park in public car parks where you cannot be sure of maintaining adequate social distancing."

Here's a good one from Jimmy Krankie (aka Nicola Sturgeon).

"She said people can travel to a relative's home and spend time with them outside - but she warned against travelling long distances in case they need to go inside to use the toilet."

Only the day before, a local friend visited me, we sat 2m apart in the garden. He wanted to go to the toilet, rather than have him walk through the house, I opened the front door and he used the bog downstairs. The touched surfaces were then cleaned using anti-bacterial spray. Seems like a sensible precaution.

She also said it may be months before some Scots can see their grandchildren.
Newsflash - they have been able to see them for some time now, if they remain outwith the 2m exclusion zone.  Even those "shielding" can see through windows.
It's an example of what all politicians seem to have been guilty of from the beginning of this pandemic - loose language.  This leads to misunderstanding which is then "clarified", often using examples which don't make sense to many.
Our Jimmy Krankie is not the worst, but neither is she the best.  As for her lack of action over Ian Blackford's support for the sign at the Scotland / England border, I am shocked and ashamed.

Some clarity on the Lockdown.

Is that Dominic Cummings in the picture? I've heard he's been out and about. Didn't realise he had an RT.
