I have a valid medical exemption, I’m in the shielded category but I’m 28, look very healthy and generally live in gym gear...I‘m still getting my food shop delivered but I don’t go anywhere one is required because I just couldn’t bear the looks and judgements 
Nor do I want to discuss my medical condition with strangersCases in our local area have remained low during the whole of the first lockdown, so When the pubs reopened there was a cluster and a huge rise which got us the honour of the first Scottish city back into lockdown, didn't help that half the football team got caught at a local bar too when they should have been in a 'football bubble'
At the start of lockdown, people wearing masks really stood out. Now it’s going to be a case of the other way round. But you’re right, you shouldn’t have to explain yourself to anyoneThis
Our latest death was someone under 40 we,ve had 5 this week when we hadn't seen any in weeks our cases are sitting around 78 per day now when we were seeing 0-3 cases so it's moving quick here ...time will tell I guess ,,
Normally waxing but I'm having the HD brows done on my next appoint. She's got plenty of eyebrow hair to work with.Wax or threading? I normally have threading but as they hold the thread between the teeth I’m not sure what to do? Mine could have a postcode of their own, they are wild
Just seen your post about the break in ,so sorry to hear that, as if you haven’t got enough going on. I hope they catch the bastard(s)
But how many households has the ONS tested ? they were saying the same thing a couple of weeks ago when they tested 54 people but still cities are places of concern, it's all so contradictory. I don't know about England but here people are being careful about visiting elderly relatives especially if they're in the vulnerable category ..
From my experience there’s a bigger delay than people realise, if you account for an average 10 days of being asymptotic then generally 2 weeks before a persons condition deteriorates enough to require hospital admission...ICU treatment can be anytime from a few weeks to longer.
) are still keeping physical contact to an absolute minimum. 
Not forgetting the hundreds of people that die at home from it that don't feature in the numbers at all until the autopsy..From my experience there’s a bigger delay than people realise, if you account for an average 10 days of being asymptotic then generally 2 weeks before a persons condition deteriorates enough to require hospital admission...ICU treatment can be anytime from a few weeks to longer.
I’d also say that many in the shielded category most likely to experience severe disease/death, myself included, who are lucky enough to still be working from home (but unlucky enough to be most likely to experience severe disease
Just another perspective to consider
There’s a question, half the world appear to have found new relationships?? How??
If they have tested positive for COVID then they are included within the numbers.

I'm talking about people that died at home from it and never went to hospital they can't be counted as a hospital admission if they were never there ..we're talking about currant hospital admissions as cases are rising ..
with great difficulty unless you're a rule breaker

But they’d still be included in the death figures, so it would still reflect upon the situation? If deaths started increasing whilst hospital admissions were falling it would indicate an issue, but would be picked up on in the ONS stats. People have died at home from it, but that doesn’t make a difference to the fact all the figures have fell like admissions, ventilated patients and deaths at the same time.I'm talking about people that died at home from it and never went to hospital they can't be counted as a hospital admission if they were never there ..we're talking about currant hospital admissions as cases are rising ..

) are still keeping physical contact to an absolute minimum.Admissions rose quick enough once the virus was in the country. Albeit we weren’t distancing at that time but it’d be foolish to think most people are visiting others and sticking to distancing. We still have no patients in my hospital, we’ve barely seen any potential cases either from what I’ve heard. You’d expect to see something. It’s nearly been a month since the first indication of rising cases but the other figures don’t match.Numbers have been up for longer than 10- 14 days. I would expect a least a small rise in admissions.
I do appreciate what you are saying about high risk or shielding individuals, but then some people on here also like to make the argument about how ANYONE can end up hospitalised or dying from covid and you never know because it's just SO deadly ... so it can't be both ways.
Anyway, was just giving a perspective as i'm just sick of people taking any positive data and making it fit a negative narrative tbh. I feel like there are some who genuinely won't be happy unless we do have a huge second wave and end up back in lockdown
I’ve already read what you’ve put above and already considered your perspective. I know how it works, I work on an ICU.From my experience there’s a bigger delay than people realise, if you account for an average 10 days of being asymptotic then generally 2 weeks before a persons condition deteriorates enough to require hospital admission...ICU treatment can be anytime from a few weeks to longer.
