I was due to go up to Manchester in just over a week for a family event which I'm not going to now ... that's how we keep infections down and stop the transfer.

It's been kept down across the country we've all been under the same measures, this is the anticipated 2nd wave even 'natural' social distancing won't be enough...( whatever that is) even in the SE/SW they have to work, shop, live in multi generational households. Do you think covid gets so far down the M1 and stops?..

I'm loving these sanctimonious sounding comments on how you feel that people in some areas are somehow better equipped to deal with this.
Are you suggesting that us northern thickies only have ourselves to blame?

it's not sanctimonious when the figures clearly show it, and i'm not point scoring, i have family in Manchester that are in the vulnerable category, so i am very concerned for their welfare. None of us can look at our fellow man suffering without regret. But the simple truth is that people are not social distancing in these hot spot areas and they haven't been for months, and they need to start now.

Fgs a lot of the SE is in Tier 2, the simple fact is it started in London so effectively the North had two weeks grace before it hit, and in some places up there despite lockdown and partial lock down the numbers never fell, something is not right, there are plenty flouting the guidelines down here as well just not as many as up there and as Bots has alluded to the way of life is more antisocial..no one calls on spec to your home in London we make arrangements

I'm loving the us and them aspect... it fell across the country cherie just as they said it would. And now we're seeing a second wave just as they said we would, which will be country wide. Whether you're accepting callers or not, it's coming.
