I live in Gloucestershire and can’t believe Cheltenham races is still going ahead... again a case of £££ before people’s health. During race week men urinate in the street, can’t see them washing their hands!!! I’m avoiding Cheltenham all of next week anyway, just seems madness that 50000 plus people a day are allowed when we are meant to be trying to contain it
I thought the same about the rugby matches this weekend. All those people rammed into stadiums, that is a viruses idea of heaven.
The government haven't acted fast enough or been strict enough in my opinion.
A friend of dhs, returned from Italy 2.5 weeks ago, he hadnt come from a high risk area so he didnt quarantine himself. Went on about his daily business, 8 days after he arrived back in the UK he got a fever, followed by aching muscles and a cough. He was tested and it came back positive.
In the last few days his mother in law, who has a whole host of underlying health issues has tested positive for it as well. She has no previous travel history.
They are both in quarantine but the work colleagues of the guy arent. This is a small team of people who spend hours within poking distance of each other. Why arent they being quarantined too?
Similarly my sister in law told me yesterday that a guy in her brothers office has tested positive after returning from a holiday in France. Her brother sits at the desk adjacent to this guy. He was in the office for a week before he got symptoms. The guy is now in quarantine, the office has been shut down but all the people in the office her brother included havent been told to self quarantine. Why?
I know you could say 'where does it end' but i think a colleague sitting at the next desk, who had spent 70 hours in close contact with that person should be quarantined.
