Nearly went over for a swatch but bottled it when I realised they would probably think I had come to join them.

For some time we've had much talk about the total screw up in care homes. Yesterday we had Hancock talk even more about the measures being taken to sort it out. Talk of more money and training for infection control , PPE and LA having a put in place in place extra help and support. But though out all this we've heard nothing from or word of the CNO why ? if anyone is best paced to over to the coordination and implementation of all this it's her.
This can't be left each LA to fix many just don't have a clue. Or will not pass on the funding fully or quick enough. It need's one standard approach , one set of standards, one centrally planned and delivered program of training. One person with who the buck stops and is qualified enough to know how it all works and make the necessary clinical decisions not political ones be it national or local.
Either she's been totally sidelined after the last time she was part the daily briefing. Or because it was a total car crash so she won't face the public anymore because of it. Or it's all part of the messaging that care and nursing are not the same thing which governments of all colours. Have been happy to promote and she's happy to play along with it.
The total lack of leadership from the Chef Nurse to her fellow profession though out all this is staggering.

80-90% of pre-lockdown traffic on the A10 at lunchtime IMO. Lots of motorcycles heading for the coast, which is unsurprising after our borough decided to release a farking news story announcing the reopening of the clifftop car/m/c parks. I suspect the vehicles missing were mainly the browsers/window-shoppers and the "parental taxis" because their destinations remain closed.
Do motorists think lockdown is effectively over for now? Well, except for horeca and arts/culture destinations being still closed.

There's hundreds of little coastal towns, many which are tiny and remote. If the bikers chose carefully the right place there's a possibility of no poilce presence. No way are they covering every mile of the UK coast line.

Cliff/beach car/motorcycle parking remained closed in the other Norfolk coast boroughs/districts, covering Wells, Cromer and Great Yarmouth. West Norfork is the only Norfolk coast borough putting revenue first and Hunstanton one of only two beach resorts in it. It may have been in cahoots with police to attract the idiots there, but I doubt it.

So, as Gove backed up Hancock's 100,000 tests claim, does his claim to have recruited 17,000 testers (15,500 since the day before yesterday) mean that they've sent out that many application forms?
Lord Sumption on BBC news being interviewed he's a total loon. End lock down government has no longer need of it , NHS has beds not over whelmed ,only effects old with underlaying conditions, they'd have died anyway ect, ect
To think he was till 2018 one of Justices of the Supreme Court. Every time the BBC let him on he talk crap why they let him get away with it lord knows.

Notice they don't break the numbers down and say how many of the 18,000 will be the clinical track and tracers and how many will be just any body who get's though the recruitment.
