Our daily cases are slowly increasing though but I guess this could be down to testing?I am glad the numbers in the UK are coming down. But what is surprising to me is how slowly it is happening. I wonder is it cause Boris did lockdown quite late, like he reacted too slowly? I see other countries numbers are now significantly going up such as in India, South America and Central America.
I think it's because we are recording deaths from all settings. Some counties are not doing this. Also some of the poorer counties dont have the medical facilities like the UK. Some deaths wont be getting recorded at all.I am glad the numbers in the UK are coming down. But what is surprising to me is how slowly it is happening.

Exactly what my partner saidcant wait to rearrange classrooms - AGAIN!I’m so tired
Totally agree. I also think we are now capturing some of those who are asymptomatic in the numbers as those contacted via track and trace to isolate as they have been in contact with someone who tested positive will now likely request a test despite not necessarily showing symptoms yet.To me, seeing that cases are at a plateau yet deaths continuously coming down suggests testing is finally improving. More cases - yes, serious cases - deaths don’t suggest so.
I've tuned in every day hoping for an update but nothing for us at all other than it's coming in the coming weeks. I feel like we've being forgotten. It's strange as I feel if they said we no longer need to shield I still don't think I'd really go anywhere other than to my parents and in laws. It still genuinely terrifies me@SarahGard83 the only mention of shielding
I know I should have expected Boris to lie but I'm honestly gutted
I've had a really shitty couple of days and stupidly pinned my hopes on hearing something.
You articulated what I wanted to say perfectlyTotally agree.

Definitely. I just want to know what's happening, but honestly the thought of going back to normal terrifies me. I've barely been out since we've been allowed toI've tuned in every day hoping for an update but nothing for us at all other than it's coming in the coming weeks. I feel like we've being forgotten.

I don't think people understand unless in this position. I think a lot of my family have this illusion that as soon as the government announces I no longer have to shield then I'll be straight out the door and back to life pre covid. I've had 2 short walks, seen my parents once and had to go for a few unscheduled but emergency hospital visits which gave me such bad anxiety. Mentally this has destroyed meDefinitely.

That's it, being constantly told "if you get this, you'll probably be seriously ill or die" - having that level of fear instilled in you on a daily basis, they really need to be careful with their next steps for us.I don't think people understand unless in this position.

You've hit the nail on it's head. All we've heard is how bad it'll be should we catch it. Surely they can't just expect us to rejoin society overnight. I need baby stepsThat's it, being constantly told "if you get this, you'll probably be seriously ill or die" - having that level of fear instilled in you on a daily basis, they really need to be careful with their next steps for us.

4th July at the earliest.Any news on pubs?
Arr ok. My mum doesn't want to go back to work so hoping it's longer4th July at the earliest.
I can't see pubs being an enjoyable experience while all this social distancing is around anywayArr ok. My mum doesn't want to go back to work so hoping it's longer
I should imagine that once the pubs do open all social distancing will be forgotten once people have had a few drinks unfortunately.I can't see pubs being an enjoyable experience while all this social distancing is around anyway
