    Reply to Rufs. Oh OK, maybe announcement on Monday, lock down on Wednesday, that seems logical.

    Jobs are much more at risk this time round, very sad.frown

    That's what the Press suggests. Announcement Monday and lockdown from Wednesday until the beginning of December.

    Whatever level of lockdown/restriction gets introduced next week, I suspect it will not be truly a lockdown. Educational establishments, I understand are likely to remain open, as will probably our borders. The colander may have fewer holes but it will still let out the water.

    Such a scenario may slow the virus but it will not stop it. Only total, and I mean total, isolation will stop it. The less draconian the measures, the less effective the action will be. Most of us are in the age group that places us in the vulnerable category. Whilst no-one likes restrictions, I haven't finished "SKI"ing yet and I for one will welcome a lockdown, both for my protection and the avoidance of grief for many.

    Back in march we saw the arrival of several people who have second homes in the village.

    Most of these are let when the owners are not using them, some continuing to do so even during the first lockdown, and I suspect we will see the same arrivals of the owners should we move to a second English national lockdown.

    I believe that Cornwall Council had many calls reporting alleged breaches and feel that this will increase second time around.

    Rufs and TW. The winds are so strong I think a coastal gathering will be useful to hold the beach house down. wink

    beach house is in the lee of the IOW and Southampton so although we get very strong winds, great wind surfing and kite boarding area, we are not overly exposed, although we did loose the wind turbine earlier in the year, my fault i should have lashed it down. Had 2 nurses use it in April for self isolation and they thought it was great when we had a couple of storms, but it is built like the proverbial Brick S*** H, but we have noticed increasing high tides which could be an issue going forward.

    I'm afraid I can trump that. We are actually in a lockdown. You have more space and are able to do more things than we are. So welcome to my world.smile

    I look at it a slightly different way. They should be thankful things are being controlled more to prevent the spread. It’s creeping out day by day. And some areas don’t have the resources to cope as well.

    The experiment in putting Northern areas into Tiers hasn’t worked. I sincerely hope that other areas aren’t used as an experimental testing ground for further mismanagement.

    figures released yesterday for Liverpool show a slowing down of the spread, yes still very high, but Rome wasnt built in a dayfrown

    Yep, any rule that keeps folk in their home territory is good by me. That's being practical and realistic in view of limited NHS resources, not selfish on a personal level.

    No, we will be glad. We may have a lower rate of infection but we also have fewer hospitals. We have already been told that if it gets any worse here the hospitals can't cope. Still sad that more jobs may be lost though.

    Its not the government actions or inactions that spread the virus its happens between people.  I'm just thankful that I won't have to explain to any of those in lower infection areas that their luck is in, their lives are going to be disrupted because others elsewhere have not been able or willing to follow simple instruction and guidance.

    I take your point but if others had acted sensibly and with restraint would the country be in the position of needing a second lockdown?  I think not.
