It sounds like some folk think today is Monday and that if you stand 6' apart you have to shout.

It seems a bit odd that seriously ill virus patients weren't sent to them from the start whether they needed vetilators or not, seeing as they were specially equiped and built to separate each patient etc.

Are they real?
Yes l think that too Tessa, very strange that they were hardly
used??
Maybe they had no staff for them??? I think they were equipped
to hadle ventilators etc?
They were definitely fitted out for oxygen!!

Believe sending children back to school could be delayed until September. Continue to follow advice makes sense if you think it the best option for you.

Some parents must be extremely nervous and will they be fined if they do not send their children back.

Hi

Lockdown has effectively ceased here.

Traffic is much heavier and groups of teenagers together.

It is a great shame.

Indeed ..... it's already happening:

Outcry as anti-social lockdown flouters crowd Exeter Quay

https://www.devonlive.com/news/devon...outers-4177780

Naked swimmers, abuse, harassment and people urinating in public have been reported

Increasing levels of anti-social behaviour on The Quay at Exeter have been reported by one of the pubs in the area which has been forced to close its takeaway service.

It comes as the South West's reproduction rate is reported to be the highest in the UK.

The popular Prospect Inn announced 'WE ARE DONE' and reported: "The anti-social behaviour on the Quay worsens day by day, but tonight was the final straw: abuse, harassment, urination and public nudity."

The pub is now looking for a contractor to erect fencing to stop its entrance being used as a public toilet.
I've no doubt that tourists are doing their best to spread human waste, personal refuse and disease at all "beauty spots" over the weekend .....

I won't be going near any beauty spots/ tourist places or beaches for a very long time.

I wonder how that will work out because I have been told teaching unions are firmly advising teachers not to go into work yet.

Driving past the local park today I noticed it was covered in rubbish. Perhaps the bins are overflowing with the sudden crowds.

Southend beach had thousands of visitors on Wednesday

Coronavirus: Resort locals 'shocked and angry' at beach crowds







Tony Cox, leader of the Conservative opposition group on Southend Borough Council, said the authority had been "ill-prepared" and that better "people management" would allow them the space to distance.

But Labour council leader Ian Gilbert said the police and council did not have the powers to stop people coming to the area.

"From the moment the government guidelines allowed people to travel, sunbathe and take unlimited exercise we knew it was going to be extremely difficult to manage the situation," he said.
