Not a stadium jacket in sight ?

good news....

Sounds positive doesn't it Pete - at least may provide peace of mind for some people and allow us a bit more accuracy with numbers

Just wonder what 'minimal cost' means?

There was some stewarding going on - but it was quiet so they didn't need to enforce anything

wonderful news, if they work as the article states this is going to be such a valuable tool in so many different ways

I was just thinking about the report I read about that cruise ship where coronavirus was still detected on surfaces 17 days after people had left, and the hands that may have touched them. Personally I wouldn’t touch anything coming out of China....but that’s just me....

Interesting one here. 21 y/o with no pre-existing conditions has died from Covid-19. My guess would be there's an undiagnosed underlying condition - would be a complete anomaly otherwise.

Coronavirus: Briton, 21, with no apparent pre-existing health conditions dies after contracting COVID-19

Chloe Middleton's family has urged people to take coronavirus seriously after the young woman died.

Great news - I wonder if the government decided to relax restrictions / home working for those who have already had the virus if it would over time put pressure on those not deemed "at risk" who haven't yet had it if this thing is still knocking about/no vaccine is still available?

I suspect you would quickly rethink that decision if you were a healthcare worker who was short on masks or caught the disease yourself and needed a ventilator.

Prince Charles is self isolating at Balmoral with Covid 19.

Prince Andrew is self isolating at Windsor with Jennifer, 14.

Police closed a few supermarkets near me. Too many people.
We have had to limit it to 5 customers out.. 5 in.
The usual few knob heads, but most people are sound actually.

Just got back from the Asda by us. They're letting 150 in the shop at a time and it's plenty big enough for social distancing. They have professionals on the door logging people in and out and then stopping people if it's going above 150.

It's all very professional and organised.

Still hardly any food mind

Is this one test per person or can we use the testing equipment again??
