As the other (Stay or go) thread appears to be locked, I've started this one. There is no specific subject matter so hopefully everyone can continue to update others as to what's happening in their lives and areas. I live in the suburbs (but hope to move to rural Northumberland in next few years) and found it really illuminating to hear how those living in rural areas are being affected by issues such as tourists and lack of access to shops etc

surly the only answer is total lock down 2 weeks no one out the home or come into the UK

after the weekend of marches the amount of trouble in London and Bristol they city's must be locked down if the virus rate goes up there and keep them there the police is to soft where is this no more than six people to be in one meeting

“after the weekend of marches the amount of trouble in London and Bristol they city's must be locked down if the virus rate goes up there and keep them there the police is to soft where is this no more than six people to be in one meeting”

Do you honestly think if the police tell these mobs to go home they will just disperse and go home

Mr Hancock said today that the overall average of the R rate is less than one so there is no issues and the easing will carry on.

So obviously the Southwest and North West are not important in the grand scheme of things,

we will suffer while the rest of the country crack on.

Mmm, funny how it’s changed since yesterday. Still, if the Govt says so, it must be right😳

If the figures revealed today of the deaths are true, and no reason to believe otherwise perhaps we are getting on top of this disease. This despite the stupid action of some. As for the protests they were as we so often see taken over by the rent a mob and anarchist, looking for trouble. Lets hope the selfish actions wont put back the progress made and all of us can begin to get back to a normal life. Myself it seems my enforced lockdown is to be extended to August 18.Awating the letter from WAG.

I saw it as irony too and that's why I liked it. I am afraid irony does not fare well on here .

Unfortunately my approaching senility means I can't recall what I posted now. Clearly it seems to have caused umbrage somewhere.

Apparently different models can be used to determine the R number. You just use whichever model suits your purpose. I wouldn't trust any of them personally.

Just watching Channel 4 news. Report from rain forest in Brazil. Reporter says it’s easier and faster to get a C19 Test there, than to get one in UK.🤷‍♀️Indigenous communities looking after themselves, self isolating as families, caring for each other. Very interesting report.
