(No > Ubers allowed) That explains the queues everywhere- picking up a few bits...so if everyone is doing that every day then no wonder the queues are round the block...I have been getting one big shop for 4 people (2 vulnerables) once every 10 days.

Done it.

The point of going out to exercise for ONE HOUR is so that EVERYONE gets a chance redjam....if families are setting up footie games etc (and it is not just families it is groups of young men who probably do not live together tackling and spreading) they are taking up a large space. Most families in ED have a garden so there is not much excuse to stay for longer than one hour Walked past today and the litter inside the field contained a vegetarian Quorn packet and wrapper, poncy coffee container and tissues....

The article was purely about doctors being trained here and then going abroad...it costs the UK taxpayer over ?200,000 to train a doctor and they do not pay that amount back- nowhere near...but they leave the UK....that is WRONG. Also it was Labour that began to privatise the NHS https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2015/03/how-labour-broke-nhs-and-why-labour-must-fix-it - and anyway, almost every single piece of equipment etc comes from the private sector and has done for decades...the only actual thing the taxpayers fund directly is the training of the staff, and then they flee. Interestingly, lab diagnostic staff do NOT get bursaries for their degrees and never have done. Of course, the UK then has to take staff from other countries- is that fair? What effect does that have on their health care system? Remember, the taxpayers' pockets are not bottomless pits.

Dominic Cummings is probably attending to advise Boris on the goings on since Boris is recuperating. I see Labour are demanding Cummings is barred from the SAGE meetings...of course they are!

https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/342005/Doctors-flee-UK-to-work-abroad and other health care professionals who received free training as midwives, nurses, physios, nutritionists and then promptly flee into the private sector. Jeremy Hunt wanted them to work for at least 4 years in the NHS so that the UK tax payer got their money back- but the BMA objected....the armed services require a minimum length of service...

Exactly- but then the car stereo, heavy bass racket has started up again- they should lose their licences- after all with that mind-set they shouldn't be allowed to drive

People are being silly either in denial or don't care. There are builders working next door to me from at least 5 different households yet last evening they were shaking hands wishing each other a good weekend.

I think you mean 'toes' the government line....anyway- the government line is dictated by the science- as it should be!

Interesting that he mentions the speeding - this is true for cars going up and down Lordship Lane along Lordship Lane and in Townley Road many cars are doing more than 20mph.

If people care about the NHS but cram onto Westminster Bridge to clap- that's Hypocrisy....

I was on the Alleyn's Field yesterday and there were people playing footie using the full size goals and inviting passers by to join in their game...fortunately the passers by walked on but later some did join. Altogether there were about 7 lots of footie with various age groups and combinations so I've found somewhere else to go now as it is impossible to actually walk briskly around the perimeter

most of my neighbours clap out of the window!

Also I do believe that work has resumed on the Old Sorting Office judging from the direction of the noise this morning!

Starting 4th May it is the section between Whately Road and Goodrich Road - we have had hand delivered letters through the door so you are probably not being done YET!

Also, as well as the non-essential domestic building work we in Crystal Palace Road are going to have to suffer resurfacing work. At the moment I can go to the back or front of my house to avoid the builders' noise but if there is road works at the front. Pathetic.

If you only watch say 30 minutes of tv a day in one sitting, then watching 2 hours in one sitting is binge watching....it's like binge drinking. 1 pint a night is the norm but then you go out and have 10 pints- that's binge drinking...it's all relative!

The Last Kingdom (adapted from books by Bernard Cornwell -he of the Sharpe fame) on Netflix, the next season starts on the 26th. And of course- Better Call Saul.... I've just discovered Vera..looks promising

The target of the virus is ubiquitous but some researchers in Sweden and British Columbia have come up with something promising in vitro at least https://www.drugtargetreview.com/news/59290/decoy-ace2-receptors-could-be-promising-covid-19-infection-preventing-drug/
