No more than 6 people indoors or out

It seems that the main reason for the recent outbreak at Banham Poultry in Norfolk was not due to any failing in the factory but to the way the workers live. Many are Europeans coming here just to make as much money as possible and go home, so their accommodation is crowded, cheap and leaves a bit to be desired.
Although the factory is in Attleborough, they live in Norwich, Great Yarmouth and Kings Lynn and travel to and from work in shared cars (admirable in normal times).
There's also a language problem. Many English speakers can't understand the rules so trying to translate them into Romanian or Polish when you have only basic English is very hard.
There's been no publicity about the fact that Test, Track and Trace worked pretty much perfectly despite local media trying to pick holes. One person got ill, was tested, the department was closed and cleaned and everyone tested and isolated. The figures went up and then down again as the spread was nipped in the bud.

I’m now thinking that ere long, we’ll be looking back wistfully at the rule of 6 and saying do you remember when we could meet up with people other than those we live with? ‘

Boris is too slow to lockdown, that's wrong. Boris locks down too much, that's wrong too.

qq it’s about the order you play the notes in ?

NfkDumpling It's not newsworthy when a system works perfectly, whether it's NHS, education or anything else.

A couple of weeks ago, a school near me had to close because it had nine infected staff. Thankfully, no pupils seem to have been infected, but over a hundred of them are still self-isolating, as are contacts of the infected staff. It seems PHE, the NHS and the local authority all got their act together very quickly and the outbreak has been contained.

That's all how it should be, but it can only work well if the systems aren't overwhelmed by hundreds of cases and people co-operate.

If we are to once more get a grip on this infection then the outside the home consumption of alcohol must be eliminated.

It has been well demonstrated that public drinking and abiding by the Covid-19 rules do not go together.

They tried that in South Africa. Unfortunately, people just carried on drinking in groups behind closed doors and some people even died from drinking bootleg alcohol.

Another who agrees that alcohol loosens inhibitions. A licensee said he had seen people hugging in groups after a drinking session. Inevitable really.
Disappointed to hear people talking and saying they had no idea what the rules are now. How can we ever get this virus under control when people don't even know what they should be doing.
