We are doing a larger number of tests than any other country size for size but the great stoic brush people are in full panic mode. For example, tow kids at daughters kids infant school sent home with a temperature which the doc diagnosed as tonsylitis. Nevertheless the head insists that not only these two have c.f. tests but also all the others in their bubble. Apparently worried about liability!

Chatting around this approach seems to be common. How can the government ever keep up with the demand for tests

Trouble is there is no solid guidance for schools from that feckless cretin Boris and his fawning cronies.

We have a proper registered Nurse employed in school - we're telling parents - symptoms go, straight back in. No tests needed.

We have just been to Bellagio and wore our masks virtually all the time. The town was just a full of tourists as normal for this time of year and most non Italians not wearing masks. The risks are enormous. Those that travel on planes or ferries, constantly eat in restaurants etc., and not taking precautions, are almost bound to return home with the virus and risk spreading it on their travels.

Sadly they probably also bought it with them.

Tim,
indeed, we have little motivation to go outside our little bubble.......of family and friends.

We will not be using public transport of any sort in the foreseeable future, nor do we plan to stay away from home, go to anywhere where there are more than a few people....

We just had the Minister for Health on the TV who announced that the increase in hospitalisation is predominantly caused by younger people who have brought the virus into the household where they live with parents and grandparents. Exactly what one could expect when they have been OS on holidays, in discotheques, etc all without a care in the world and no protection. After all it won't kill me, will it. And who gives a damn about the others.

We keep out children at arms length!
No grandchildren.
Daughter is in Basel, son is local, but as anti-social as we are!
