Morning everybody I’ve had such a busy week, just catching up here. I will have a look at book recommendations, thank you, I’m going away for a few days soon and plan to walk by the sea and read by the fire.
@NeurotrashWarrior 48 hours paper & 72 hours plastics I think that means that almost everything we touch in a supermarket is likely to have been touched by someone with the virus in that time frame and could still transfer?
Can you remember in the beginning shops had signs saying don’t touch if you’re not buying.
Yesterday I was in Newcastle City Centre, no social distancing but inside Eldon square it seemed almost 100% mask compliance. Although I was there for work I had a wander around Fenwicks and John Lewis Xmas decorations to cheer me up, then into Waitrose and those don’t touch rules don’t exist anymore.
I really wanted to have a good old browse around the City but the mask makes me feel hot after a while and people were closer than I felt comfortable with even though interaction was brief. My very best friend has been struggling with this local lockdown and I feel safer spending a hour or so going for a walk with her than I did yesterday.
I think it’s a disgrace that students were brought to uni’s and locked down. They have been sacrificed for the economy right? They have rental agreements, so that is a lot of landlords who will benefit from rent. They will use pubs and takeaways. They can’t go home without the risk of spreading the virus so are effectively trapped.
