With infections at approx 8k to 9k per day you would expect deaths to be around 40 to 45 in 4 weeks time with a CFR of 0.5% if our shielding is working well could be less as around 90% of deaths are from vulnerable categories. We can be cautiously optimistic at this point as the Rate of effective transmission is around 0.8.

My very elderly neighbours, who have survived every condition you can imagine over their years but still getting on enjoying life together without any moaning and just glad to be alive, have been in very strict shielding . They were pottering around their front garden for the first time yesterday so I went out to check on them. Apparently they have been told they MUST shield for another 12 weeks with their age and conditions. (She was read the last rites before christmas after being rushed into hospital, but bounced back and as cheery as ever. Puts all these moaners and flouters of the lockdown rules to shame ! )

I'm probably a bit late to do that. I told all my family's kids that I shot Santa last year. I will not have old gits clumping about on my roof. Shot all the reindeer too. Getting a bit fed up with veniburgers though. :P

Enjoying a drop of red.
I'm avoiding the place, I tend to go to stone now for shopping as I'm yet to see a queue at morrisons.
It was my first visit to the town centre since March and only because I had to go to the bank.

Out of curiosity I drove through Shrewsbury town centre on my way to work and it had about half the footfall of Stafford.

Ive just been asked to take part in the same coronavirus/covid 19 swab test , the same test @staffordjas took a few weeks back.

They are looking for anyone who has not displayed any symptoms and has generally stayed at home over the lockdown.

I may need to attend a test center but i have asked for the self test if possible.

will update when i hear anything.

The C-19 ZOE app? I got that yesterday too, not sure what happens now though, as I’ve said I’m interested but wasn’t really given next steps

The C-19 ZOE app just asks what medication you are on at the beginning, then how you are feeling everyday and if you have been tested for the virus.

It's been updated now, they are going to send out more tests. I said I had a sore throat one day last week and was offered one.
