Went to local farm, Longdown today and it was pretty much empty. Gorgeous sunny day and a handful of families and a preschool group. Was nice to have the place pretty much to ourselves but very for the people who run it. They have excellant handwashing facilities and have done so for as long as I recall. They are losing money in what is already a tight financial climate. Obviously the main news story and the farm involved must have issues due to the high numbers of cases, but this doesnt mean there are those issues at every farm.
Also this whole handwashing business is very important, but i was told of a couple who's 3 year old didnt wash hands after holding animal and when gently reminded the parents said that the child didnt need to. THe manager intervened as if they had then got something would have serious consequences.. the parents then sent the little one into loo to wash hands by herself, at 3? I mean ffs.
Also so many people dont wash their hands after going to loo or in hospitals visting sick relatives... Why on earth dont people just wash? Dont get it myself (sorry tangent rant there)
