I'll speak to her and see how she feels as she's not been out at all since March as is high risk. But wanted one dinner before the national lockdown she see's coming in at the half term.
I know they needed to draw the boundaries up somewhere. I actually think they should have settled on the M25 as the boundary. Where she lives literally 150m walking and she's in a different tier.
Soon Dorking will find itself covered off by tier 2 boundaries all around and being it's own little tier 1 area. London and Elmbridge both already in. Guildford will be next (It's got a higher rate of Covid than Elmbridge being a Uni town). I'm glad to live in a sleepy town that find it easy to have all the distancing in place.
Who'd want to go out in Sutton anywayI've got a friend that lives in Sutton
Sounds to me like you will be perfectly willing to break the rule whatever it is?I believe that's only actually if you're in the tier 3 but will check.

Firstly, I was working my way through the posts and didn't understand your friends situation until after I posted. So, no doubt you are confident you wouldnt put your friend at risk and it would boost her mentally. That's called risk management and is best assessed by yourself.Firstly, I would happily break the rules this one time at the weekend if she wants to get out. She hasn't left the house since March.
Secondly haven't you broken the rules yourself this week?
Thirdly every single person in the UK is advised to not travel unless essential. Tell me you haven't travelled and I'll say you have some bit of higher ground. We're talking 150m. You've travelled hundreds of miles. So never think youve got the upper ground with your travelling.
I lived down the Vale once upon a time. Is the Mitcham Mint still there?Carshalton, different story, born there
Come on the Robins!
No, I would suggest you would start to see the results of a 2 week lock down 2 weeks after opening back up again.Wales to go into a 2 week "lockdown" from Friday evening.
All non essential shops to close along with hospitality no mixing with any other households.
Schools will open after the 1 week half term which starts on Friday but year 10 upwards so 13 year olds and above will stay home an extra week to do home learning.
Can't see it being only 2 weeks as surely from what we already know about how Covid works the numbers we see today reflect what the virus was doing 2 weeks ago so will the numbers really start to drop within 2 weeks?

It doesnt matter what decisions are made by any government, local or otherwise, they will get called out by some or others. Its a tough gig.
I didn't really go out in Mitcham much, if at all really, other than the golf course next to the station. At least I think that was Mitcham, and I used go through it on the train every day to London I know thatI lived down the Vale once upon a time. Is the Mitcham Mint still there?

Who is they? The people themselves havent helped any. Feckin cretinsGoing to be so many jobs lost as a result of this across the north west.
241 Covid deaths reported today highest number since 5th June they really have ballsed up the easing of lockdown across England.

What? like Spain and France you mean?The government should never have reopened nationally at the same time it should have been region by region, they’ve ballsed up track and trace, they ballsed up testing, they ballsed up PPE at the start, they lost the public when they didn’t sack Cummings.
We’ve had 3 different slogans, 2 or 3 different ranking scales, no enforcement powers for the police during lockdown until it was to late.
They failed to prepare for Covid
They failed to lockdown quickly
They failed to re open safely
They failed to setup test and trace
They failed to get the public onside
They failed to give clear rules
They failed to stop the second wave
What? like Spain and France you mean?
Did you have trill for your lunch todayWe can all point at other countries who are also struggling but we still made massive mistakes.
These mayors in the north were even saying when restrictions were lifted nationwide back in the summer please don't do it we're not ready for it but rather than remove restrictions on a regional basis they removed them on a national basis which screwed places that still had high case levels.
We obviously can't expect the perfect response to Covid from our government it's a totally new thing there's no playbook to follow but we should expect much better than what we've seen so far.
My region has gone into Curfew today. Getting out of hand here. 40+ thousand cases today
Yeah that’s kind of what we are thinking. We usually have a big family shindig but think me and the wife this year are just going to have a quiet one.To be honest I am not thinking in terms of Christmas Day and Boxing Day, just Friday and Saturday.
