So looks like some movement re the lockdown....at least in the Isle of Wight.
This is going to be our lives for many months to come.
So we better get used to it.
Social distancing looks like it will be staying with an app....
but not everyone has a smart phone...or wants one.
So they need to sort out something there.
Along with face masks...if we need them.
They need to test temperatures of us at places.
And Test all of us.
Get working from home as the new ...work ethic.
And where you can't work from home put in measures that ensure
safe distancing.
It will be interesting to see if once you have had covid 19 you can get it again.
On the move?

Re: On the move?
The government seems to be saying it's our fault that we are passing this virus around by not obeying the rules. Have they not got it through their thick skulls that it is being brought into this country from outside. Some good restricting our movements when thousands are allowed to still come into this country without even being tested or quarantined. We are being brain washed. About time they showed some commonsense and closed our borders. It's still not too late. Our death rate is the highest in Europe and still rising and they still haven't apologised for their mistakes in handling it.
They say STAY AT HOME TO PROTECT THE NHS and they have done very little to do just that!!

Re: On the move?
Soon be over- small shops and schools to reopen soon tracking and tracing- not long now well done everybody Not as bad as thought its more or less normal death rate for same time in previous years without the china flu 
https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/G ... death-rate
The Bug is def on the way out but to save vulnerable people we will keep distancing for a couple of months till it goes completely a lot better than predicted.
Already going in the USA, a lot people back to normal thanks to Trump and they had twice the deaths so far
You can hide but not forever
We have to face the mild bug sooner or later 
Germany getting back ,football on this month its a race now!!
The only new cases are around Hospitals and Care Homes and these will be dealt with soon
Tips Open next week as normal

Re: On the move?
I'm sorry rocky fowler but you are living in cloud cuckoo land if you really think it's nearly over. I very much doubt it, and as for the death rate being no more than normal! Have you actually known anyone who has suffered horrendously and finally died from this. A bit more than a case of bad flu I think. We have lost 2 family members well before their time who suffered for a month. Couldn't say goodbye and wont be able to go to their funerals as wont be able to travel there. It won't be over for their children for a very long time.
I'm not attacking you its just that people have got blasé and think it's nothing to worry about as long as they stay in and self isolate.
Take care!

Re: On the move?
I am confused by the UK media's approach to this. They screamed and screamed to have covid-19 deaths in care homes and elsewhere included in the daily statistics (fair enough) and then as soon as their demand was met they screamed because the UK has a higher mortality rate than other countries. Well, no wonder really is it?
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries is an interesting site. It is updated regularly (at least the larger countries are) and you can click once or twice at the to of each column to get the data ordered by different factors.
So right now France has 404 deaths/million people and the UK has 469 but like I say, the UK figures include deaths in care homes and I don't think France does. And what about Belgium? 751 deaths/million there. They are including care home fatalities but it says here https://www.euronews.com/2020/04/22/ana ... statistics that only 4% of them have been confirmed by testing so they may be overestimating the numbers.
The media is right to question and demand answers, but they also need to look behind the figures and compare like with like.
