Britons with COVID-19 deaths will have increased by 50% from last Sunday's total when numbers who have died during the past 24 hours are added later today.

The message is simply not getting through, or is being ignored, as far too many casually fail to adhere to the two metre social distancing requirement. There's not enough police/PCSOs on the streets. I didn't spot any on a jaunt to 'Diff on Friday. Caught a bus for the return journey which quickly filled to ensure it was impossible to observe it. I'd say maybe 10 to 12 passengers maximum could have travelled within the guidelines instead of the 20-25 who were actually aboard throughout those 20 minutes. I'm in two minds whether to report the driver as I believe he should be sanctioned in some way for allowing too many to board it. The Chinese demonstrated how to severely curtail fatalities while here the state and its agents remain half-arsed as is evident by 15K+ British deaths.
