I don't like long queues, so I'll wait until the shops are more quiet.
This is the lowest number of deaths so far, so things are getting better.

Sat ,Sun and Monday figures are always low ... thankfully though the overall figures ( if genuine) are looking promising- generally speaking .

That said it may look different in a week or two after two weekends of protests, kids returning to school , more shops reopening , more people returning to work .. but we won’t know what the cause was .

I recall a professor saying last week that if the infection rate went suddenly through the roof then the government wouldn’t have a clue what the reason was for the upsurge. He said when you experiment you only change ONE variable

Absolutely right.

I get so irritated when the crowing is from Ministers, ''deaths are falling''.

It's rising deaths that are falling.
Every death, leaves a family, friends and neighbours grieving the loss of any loved one before their time.

As you point out, let's see 2 or 3 weeks what is happening then.

I'd hope for success of course.
Something we haven't had at all in my view really.
Borne out by our horrific death toll.

Your last paragraph, spot on too.

I was feeling sorry for them because of the circumstances until 1 of them said "in hindsight I had symptoms "

I don't understand why they weren't tested before they were allowed to leave, I suppose the death of the family member was imminent and there wasn't time

did they really drive for 8 hours without a break...

this is the exact reason why we have a quarantine period on entering the country, temperature checks are just not good enough. Of course industry is saying we cant operate with quarantine and we can't operate with social distancing, so what do the government do ... they are damned either way.

The government have made a lot of mistakes, sure ... but i'm not sure that there is a solution. The only thing they can do is give things a try and see if hospital admissions are affected. People are going to keep getting covid, people are going to continue to die, no matter what approach is taken until we get effective treatment and or a vaccine .... my bet is on effective treatment, but will it be here before another winter? I doubt it, and there won't be another lock down

It's a global pandemic and their borders are not closed. This is an inevitability... it's not possible for a country to be Covid-free... it probably never will be, any more than it's possible for a country to be truly measles-free ("measles free status" does not mean zero cases).
