Went to Norwich shopping today. Had zero plans to do so except for waking up to my Auntie posting congratulations to my parents for their 50th wedding anniversary. There was supposed to be a party but with everything thats gone on this year it obviously didnt take place and was kinda forgotten about. Thats my excuse and im sticking to it 😳

 

Anyway, if Christmas shopping doesn't spread the virus, (regardless of how bad you think it is) then nothing will. Norwich was rammed, with zero chance of any social distancing. We stopped at a restaurant for something to eat. It was one of those ones with an open kitchen, similar to what you'd find in Frankie and Bennys. 7 or 8 staff in a pretty small kitchen, impossible to social distance, and none of them wearing masks. Not sure what the deal is there, if they are exempt for some reason?

 

Will be interesting to see if cases rise in the next few weeks. From what I saw today I can't see how they wouldn't spike considerably!

In Kent we are tier 3, I think (I don't give it a lot of thought). I'm slightly baffled as to why this seems to be a built-up area issue, only. Our village is about 7 miles south of Maidstone and despite being fairly rural is still heavily populated, more like a small town, but cases out here are unheard of. So why is this? People are still mixing, working, and driving all over the place, doing whatever. It simply doesn't stack up that the vast majority of illness is in towns

I read 'Inside Times' the other week, it's a newspaper written and edited by prisoners, if what was written is true the two prisons on the isle of sheppy are the reason Kent went into tier three. Make of that what you will.

Interesting. Conversely I heard it argued that the Isle of Wight was in Tier 1 because they weren't factoring the jail population when working out c-19 distribution.
