Hot-spots


Well, looks like the second wave of Covid is well and truly here. The Government are announcing some further restrictions on movement and activity later today and it's expected that hospitality venues will have to shut in certain "hot-spots" in the North of the country as they have done in Scotland. I feel sorry for many sections of our community, at one end of the spectrum, for many elderly people the whole thing must seem completely bewildering at times. I see older people wandering, slightly hesitantly, around in shops and town centres with masks at half-mast, they clearly don't "get it". At the other end we have students who were encouraged to head off to university and who find themselves locked up in their halls of residence with only chocolate bars and dried up sandwiches to eat. This period should have been the best time of their lives but turns out it could be one of the worst. I'm not keen on British Winters at the best of times, I have a feeling that this one coming is going to take the biscuit..
