I usually associate it with the proximity of its airport runway with the beach!

  Yes!  You’re right.  Just looked it up. Don’t know why I thought it was filmed on St Martin!

And hopefully fitting a tyre didn't involve any close contact during payment etc?



And said speedboat jackknifes and hits another car, and 2 ambulances are called and a police car and a fire engine. Occupant of car hit is asymptomatic with CO-19, spreads it to the fireman, policeman and one of the Ambulance crew. Ambulance goes onto to 8 other calls that day, and spreads it to them and so on. It is isn't just about isolating, it is about stopping journeys that are not needed to not overstretch the blue light services.

Otherwise, why would they be enforcing social distancing?

 P.S. I have never argued that we could have "prevented the virus reaching the UK", but that travel restrictions would make it possible to contain the spread.



Might as well end this one as it is wasting bandwith. If you were right it's too late now and was never going to happen when it would have worked. We've got it now so any new entrants will have no effect. End of.

Well, not quite. Once a country has contained the virus via economy destroying lock-down measures, it needs to then restrict its re-entry. So no more Spanish holidays, Alpine walks or jetting to and from many destinations, apart from on essential business.

Okay, unlikely but fair point. Perhaps they should say the reasons? But OP that was complaining had driven to get a tyre changed. A jogger could have a heart attack whilst exercising, two infected people rush to his aid, ambulance called and so on.. I'm afraid it's a case of if "my aunt had testicles she'd be my uncle". You have to use common sense and understand how not to cross contaminate. But I see the point about unnecessary journeys but the level of enjoyment seems to be bring used as part of the "you shouldn't be doing it  rather than the risk, which was the point I was making.

As we thought - the UK Government has acknowledged that the stats do not include those who die in care homes (same as for France):

There seem to be so many articles about how the world will be so different after this crisis and I am really not convinced. Nobody knows of course, but when this is eventually over my guess is:



  • the dead will be forgotten quickly (except by their loved ones) and most of the living will revert to form

  • capitalism will not  change significantly and socialism will not become more prevalent

  • few lessons will be learned and most of the mistakes will be covered up

  • for a number of years (say 10-15 years) the West will be over-sensitive to any new pandemic threats with the travel industry taking some hits

BREAKING:

A further 184 people have died as a result of COVID-19

This is the third successive day that the number of deaths age dropped and this is good news.

Horrendous and terrible for those families affected.

It's still early days, but it's probably the first indication that we won't reach the numbers of Italy/Spain for the reasons discussed. I don't think we've seen the peak in the number of deaths yet though.
