Coronavirus Disease Outbreak COVID-19 #25

That's looking better. Even Jenny Harries said yesterday she expected the deaths to go up again today after the weekend lag so it's promising.

I think statistically the numbers have been lower on Sundays and Mondays since the start

429 England deaths today

Isn’t it sad that my first thought “well that’s better”?
It’s still 429 people who were someone’s son/daughter/mum/dad/husband/wife, etc.

I'm obviously aware of pics I'm posting too as there's a few in here that live not far and the pub for example can be seen from my back door so any pics could potentially be outing!

Yes be careful, you never know who’s looking

Yes they have but at yesterday's press conference when she was asked if we are plateauing she said while the figures look promising she expected them to rise again today which they haven't. They are the lowest they have been since 31st March.

Both my sons are big Haribo fans Gold Bears and the originals are the fave and I’m partial to the Giant Strawbs but I must get some of those next time I’m allowed out to shop if I can disguise them as a loaf of bread

Good luck with that In Tesco they are selling them for £1.25 but in Sainsbury’s they are £1.00 In Glasgow that is

it’s certainly a step in the right direction, let’s hope tomorrow’s is in the same area

Yesterday my son had 3kg of gummy bears delivered from Amazon.

Is she on the vulnerable list?
I rang Tesco with my dad’s details, they updated their system and told him to log in after 24 hours. He did and he got a priority slot booked for this week.
If you explain the situation to them, they’ll ask if she can shop herself and if she has an online account with them.View attachment 113230

Thank you for that. I have just got back from dropping her shopping off. She is vulnerable but not on the very vulnerable list. I will ring Tesco for her and see what they say xx

I got him one of those at Christmas and a tub of Terrific Turtles I wouldn't disclose that if I were You

Whilst I was in sainbobs getting MIL shopping I may have accidentally bought myself a Victoria Sponge cake too

Explain the situation, that you’re 2 hours away. If they say no, you're no worse off.
You don’t get to choose an hour slot with priority delivery. It’s between 10am-6pm or 2pm-10pm but as they’re at home all day, it’s not really a problem.
Good luck x

I know, that’s what I thought.

@Noseybonk Don’t look at my posts on the Harry & Meghan threads then - it would shatter your illusion!

I’ll third that. My husband says the same for the hospitals in the area he works for and that is an extremely busy one... not maybe half full but not at capacity. They are coping, which is guess is what they were trying to achieve

I'm in a city of over a million, we have 8 hospitals. And around 1200 covid cases. The staff are saying the hospitals are quiet. There are only 14 people in icu.

Well as much as I love cake I’m in the 7 th week of low carb diet. Down 21lbs as of this morning 11lbs to go to target. And yes I’ve done low carb before and kept it iff for 7 years. Had bad family drama last year and piled it on. Feel great and it’s something to achieve in this madness

Really struggling with lockdown now think I have cried more the last 5 weeks than I have the past 5 years.

Well done, you’ve have great willpower to carry on achieving in these strange times! I take my hat off to you.
