    Obviously she is getting it from people visiting the site, but that means the app actually works, which personally I find it surprising

    Yes, it feels a little as if it is closing in. We had been very lucky I guess over the past year in rural W Sussex, but in the last week we had our first class at the kids' primary isolating, followed by a couple of teachers coming down with it and rumours of other locals in hospital with it. It is apparently rampant in a few small towns/villages very near us, as well.

    Other half just got home. Seven out of the fourteen classes are isolating, three this week and the head is seeking guidance about closing the school. Problem is with no measures in place there is no indication of when it can open again. Guess it will be Sept in the new year now.

    51, 870 cases today.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-57867990


    More than 50,000 daily coronavirus cases have been reported in the UK for the first time since mid-January.



    There were 51,870 cases recorded - the highest figure since 15 January - and 49 deaths within 28 days of a positive test.



    From Monday, lockdown rules will end in England - although some guidance will remain.



    Earlier, England's chief medical officer warned hospital admissions could hit "scary numbers".



    Prof Chris Whitty said the number of people in hospital with Covid was doubling roughly every three weeks.



    The UK is "not out of the woods yet" and people should act with caution as restrictions are eased on Monday, he added.

    Just scanning the papers today and I can't believe for one minute we aren't going to be back in measures by the end of the month.
    Just heard it is 5 weeks.

    And Queen Elizabeth Hospital in W. Midlands has cancelled all elective surgery for 2 days.
