The COVID Diares – 256 5th January

Lockdowns with similar rules are in place in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
1 in 50 people are now infected with Covid-19 and, yet again, the question is why did it take the Prime Minister so long to act. Putting off the inevitable just makes everything worse.
People can only go out for essential reasons.
