Boris and Trump both didn't take it seriously at all to begin with. Acted like it was nothing. Granted China lied about the figures over there. But we knew they were higher once we saw what was happening in Italy. From Italy it spread very quickly thanks to a football match. European game. Home team were building a new stadium. Milan agreed to let them use their home ground. Talking close on 50,000 came down from the most infected region in Italy to Milan for that match. They were playing a team from Spain. What got hit bad next? Spain. The fans brought it from Italy to Spain. Lot of our earliest cases were also coming from Italy. People coming back from holiday. Italy did not act fast enough because they had no idea what they were dealing with to begin with. People could still move around Italy. They simply thought it was a bad flu.
Our first lockdown saw people over 70 stay indoors for 2 months. People went along with it. The longer it does go on the more frustrated people become. Far from over in this country. Our government is too easy to read. I can view the numbers and know what they will do next. Not complicated at all. I do think social distancing works. Getting people to do it is the hard part. Idiots throwing parties. Or big family gatherings. Been the main cause for most people catching the virus. Have been shopping since day 1. Not a problem at all. If you do it the right way. The queues in those early days were crazy. That was a first. I changed my shopping time. Afternoon to morning. Found empty shops in the morning.
Still interested to see where it does go from here.
