So I woke up this morning and felt as sick as a dog. Battled through the day but knew something wasn't right, got home took and there it is, I have the dreaded virus. :nono: Absolutely gutted, we will now be isolating for the next week which means we will miss the Halloween ball tomorrow...

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/oct/08/hand-washing-and-mask-wearing-covid-rules-we-would-be-wise-to-keep Time we started to embed some of the COVID safety measures in our lives permanently.

Is the time right to mandate mask wearing again?? I’ve never stopped wearing a mask on public transport and in shops. I now also wear one during face-to-face meetings at work and would if I was going to the cinema, theatre, etc. However, I have chosen to restrict my social activities or meet...

Scotland's Heath Minister has urged the country to 'hold their nerve' amidst the current wave but if cases remain high I can certainly see a return to legislation on ask wearing indoors and on public transport.

https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-deltacron-identified-as-new-variant-how-fast-is-it-spreading-and-should-we-be-worried-12563165 This is rather worrying and may be part of the reason why cases are up by 50% on the previous weeks figures and hospitalisations are increasing steadily again too...

SAGE warning today cases could rise by as much as 80% when isolation ends and if people return to pre pandemic behaviours, we need to ensure the latter is not the case, it's not over yet folks we should still exercise some caution.

Sad to see today that Mark Drakeford has contracted this awful disease. He's done more than most to protect himself and his citizens from the virus. ALso get well soon HRH Prince Charles who has covid for a second time but is said to be in 'good spirits'.

It's what is happening?? We can't bury our heads in the sand, if we had adopted some sensible baseline measures some time ago maybe we'd have avoided this? And what about the NHS nurses and doctors who are at the front end of this, surely their mental health matters?? They're drained after the...

Looks like Javid is finally going to act and put restrictions in place for Christmas, maximum number indoors and then harsher restrictions after boxing day and the possible closure of hospitality.

If we all followed your cautiousness and sensible decisions I doubt SAGE would be advocating a level 1 lockdown.

Of course they don't know for sure, but even their best case models now show incredible stress on the NHS. We need to do out bit now and do as they ask and restrict our contacts to an absolute minimum and stay at home as much as possible.
