Morning all, took my first trip to the Post Office and our local greengrocer today. Went early, nice & quiet, going to the greengrocer in person was a mistake. He's brilliant and the display was just too tempting, so I came home with some fat black cherries (I just can't resist), a beautiful bulb of fennel, and strawberries, all unplanned, along with all the things I actually went for.
@kev-w yep, it just gets more confusing. And I have to keep listening carefully to see if we're talking about England, Wales, Scotland or NI.
In terms of judging risk, I've just been reading an article about how PHE counts Covid 19 deaths which kind of puts a new slant on things for me. For 'out of hospital deaths' apparently anyone who's ever tested positive is subsequently counted as a Covid 19 death, even if they've recovered and die from something else. The article says that if PHE continue to do a search on everyone who dies to see if they've ever tested positive, we could still be counting anyone who ever tested positive as dying from it however far in the future they die. Matt Hancock's ordered an urgent review.....and I wish someone had shouted the fact that in the entire south-west the number of cases in the past week was in single figures.
