Re: Coronavirus update

Anyone with sense is still urging caution and slow release of pandemic habits, and that taking up the vaccine when invited to.
We also desperately need to help wider world by protecting them from Delta where we can and getting vaccines shared around.

Absolutely.

Re: Coronavirus update

Earlier this week I walked out of the local Richer Sounds in the middle of an £8k purchase of a projector. Some chavs had come in, no masks. Asked discreetly to talk to the manager, explained I was uncomfortable with non-mask wearers in the store. He said he couldn't do much about it. I said, that's a shame, I'll get this projector somewhere else then. It's no wonder the High Street is dying on its arse if they can't accommodate the basic concerns of customers at these times.

Good for you if you didn't buy it there.

I bought online. I did notice that there was a sign in the window today at the same store asking people to wear masks. That projector is still sat there.

Re: Coronavirus update

It seems a lot of folks are taking heed and still wearing masks where there are crowded or close situations in England, but equally a lot of people started to relax some things before the 19 Jul, so there may not be such a big rise in cases in 2 weeks or so as was expected, although we must expect some.
Equally in Wales a lot of people seeing the relaxation in England are not waiting for the 7 Aug to do more things. That might be a good thing by easing the rise in numbers or a b ad thing meaning they rise earlier, depending on how you look at it. But most are still wearing masks in shops and public transport and I think that will continue just from people's own common sense

Re: Coronavirus update

No mention of the protests around the uk yesterday?? Were they anti vax or anti lockdown? The ones in Cardiff ventured to Drakeford house in Pontcanna I see. Bit over the top but I’ve been wondering when this would happen.

great that numbers are dropping. they also dropped right off last summer as well.

to early to see what effect the unlocking has had though, need to wait another week for that really. anyone getting tested for it last week likely caught the virus before the unlocking.

Schools only finished last Wednesday for many also so it’s not that……

Re: Coronavirus update

Wonder what’s caused the drop in new cases? I’ve heard it said that the very hot spell is behind it because it meant people were spending more time outdoors- that seems logical, but I’m not sure it would have too much of an effect yet on the daily figures, I would have thought it’d be a day or two before the warm weather became a factor.

Could be, makes as much sense as anything I can think of.

Re: Coronavirus update

A couple of articles trying to explain the drop in new cases which leave me thinking nobody really knows what's going on.

We're definitely in uncharted territory now.
It is good to see the rates dropping and yes I agree I don't think anyone knows why. I think their just riding it out and see what the autumn brings. Hopefully the success of the vaccination programme in the UK really does bring us as close to possible normal life by then, even if masks and hand sanitizers stay with us a bit longer in enclosed public places (which i've no problem at all with).
International travel seems a long way off unrestricted but from a personal point of view I'm not even thinking about that at the moment.
