Nah!  Ride a bike:  Helmet, visor, gloves, whole-body protective clothing, keeping your distance and if someone does sneeze, you can be out of there before the virus particles settle 

Can't imagine Tesco (other supermarkets available) is going to be too happy with folk biking up and down the aisles, with or without viral protection equipment, LOL.
My brother once saw someone using their golf buggy in a Tesco store.  (Apparently, however, the driver seemed to have no obvious mobility issues when exiting the buggy to pick his product choices off the shelves ! )

You leave your bike in the car park but magically you still have your protective clothing on.  It is a bit of a struggle to get 2 x 9pack of bogrolls up the front of your jacket though

Inspiring words for a time of crisis:
Breathe in.

Try not to expire..

My daughter and granddaughter were here earlier - all of us exercising social distancing - air hugs  and blowing hand kisses. 

As usual 'Katie-the-animal-daft-grandchild-more-like-grannie-than-mum' (13 tomorrow) was petting the dogs. 
After they went I wiped all the surfaces they'd touched - chairs, doorhandles, coat hook etc, then went on to wipe the dogs. 
Their body language was hilarious - you'd have thought i was going to kill them.     Squealing like babies about to get a jab,  rolling on their backs in submission, legs in the air  , tummies exposed waiting for the lethal dagger  , ears back and down, backing away from me    - ME???  - the hand that feeds them and cuddles them when they don't feel 100%

I feel so unwwanted

Italy went from 2 to 400 cases in 26 days. We have gone from 1 to 557 in 19 days. 


This is the week cases are expected to explode. Stay at home if you have the privilege to do so. 


OK I have pinched above from the internet but if anyone hasn't got the message yet it is pretty clear.


Stay at home and don't make non essential journeys.

Even to Watford?

Worldometer https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/italy/  puts Italy starting at Feb15th? with 1 case and 26 days later 2,651 new cases
Uk Feb 27th 3 cases and now 24 days later 1,035 and cases will double roughly every 2-4 days.
In other words were matching Italy and everyone elses trend but the absoute figures are meaningless since different countries test a different range. We only test possible hospital cases whereas Germany probably tests any possible cases and founf 4.5K yesterday.
There is a suggestion that we may have as many as 100,000 cases UK if including all the mild ones...

Wait a week and there won't be anyone left in Watford....too close to London

You don't have to be precise with the numbers to see the effects.

Yes, that's because they've all buggered off to Cornwall, The Lakes and the Scottish Highlands!

[arobwk]

And here's a request from Cornwall:  Do Not Come Down right now !  Thank you very much.

Cornwall has one of the lower instances of confirmed infection so far, thankfully, BUT has one of the oldest regional populations in the UK and some of the lowest numbers of intensive-care bed spaces in the UK !  I would like to think those precious I-C beds will remain available for locals and that our supermarkets are not further raided by an incoming hoard !

So, if you have a 2nd home here or a caravan or motor-home, please reconsider before you head for the A30.  "Everywhere" is shut;  there is nothing to do;  please stay at home.  Pretty please !
