Presumably it's moved about the place but I don't know where else it's been. Not sure I'd describe the Bolehills area as very posh. Fairly well off but regular suburban I'd say. But yeah, not one of the poorer areas.

Whether you like, loathe, or otherwise the people announcing symptoms today, the whole of the medical and political leadership of the crisis being taken out at a stroke is very bad news.

Just watching the update. Not sounding good, and they are saying this is going to remain around and will be back next year. 
The comments are because I have had series of reports, sometimes with photographic evidence of gatherings in various poor areas of the city with frustrations along what people said the police had to say about it.
It's also a bit contrary to what nhs bods here said what their worries were about how it might spread and areas to be worried about.
Also had other reports of friends going out for walks in posh bits of the city in parks about how there are people out but generally 1s and 2s and following social distancing very strictly.
I haven't left the house since Sunday but the last two days one lot across the road very likely hasn't been sticking to the guidelines let alone staying in for 12 weeks. Another neighbour has been having people around. Aside from that it looks like vast majority sticking to things.

Just witnessed 3 lads about 50 yards away at the edge of our very large park, one had gloves on and kept saying to his mate "keep your distance" they then proceeded to share one joint between all three, they then walked off keeping 6 foot apart!!! Words fail

Gove said spread of the virus doubling every three to four days. Not sure how precise that is, Boris has been a bit so sometimes, but every four days would be decent news. Complete odds to BBC and other analysis which said every two to three days.

Certainly some of the residents around the Bolehills area have been getting frustrated at what they see as lack of social distancing, but also there has been some quite nasty abuse of people just out for their daily exercise. I've seen pictures from other parts of the city where it looks much worse though.

was out on a 15 to 20km ride in london (5 miles south of river) yesterday after essentially being in for 7 days or more.
in general i would say everyone in streets/parks was behaving excellently.
order appeared to be returning to shops as well though didn't go in any - haven't really shopped for 2 weeks - biding my time.

I do wish the BBC would stop the lax reporting. 9000 tests a day.
No, the country had a single day with 9000 tests just as some quite considerable time ago it had a day with 8400 tests. We are doing 6000 tests a day based on recent times.

It isn't a rumour sadly. It is a fact supported by evidence that there have been more than additional 900 deaths.

Went to M&S yesterday on the bike, just a few items required (smallish rucksack) in and out in 15 mins, did 25 miles once i had dropped of at home, went to Tesco today in the van and the shelves were almost full, a few products were low (pasta) had to queue for about 500 m around the car park staff were handling things very well, good to all off them, I was laid off on Tuesday (gladly) I must say thank you to all supermarket workers who are keeping us fed in extraordinary times. Blue hills, you may have to wait but don't go without, they are doing there best and are doing an excellent job.

Cracking a solo.
This gif shows James Stewart in the film Rear Window, in the film Jeff (played by Stewart) watches the comings and goings of his neighbours from his window, but, there's a twist!
Joey is also watching the world go by from his window, let's hope he doesn't have the same experience as Jeff!!
