Frustrating They were talking about testing for care home staff on TV this morning. Staff at one home in Norfolk were told they could be tested in Sheffield! You could not make it up

A sensible move by Germany to make wearing masks in public compulsory in most situations [Link] If we start opening up more in May combined with a measure such as this, that may well be enough to keep the numbers under control and snuff out the prospect of further lockdowns.

The near future will be staying clear of places and people you think or know work in certain jobs. All in it together. Apart from when you want a grocery delivery over someone who needs one or you see someone in care worker uniform. It’s going to be an eye opening few months when people come out of home again.

Decent masks will have to be more accessible than they are at the moment though
