There is still a great amount of confusion of who is – and – who is not supposed to be opening. I am extremely sympathetic to ALL our local businesses, in fact I personally telephoned around 20 of them last week. They were ALL very appreciative that someone/a Councillor had bothered to call them.
Some businesses have had to adapt in order to attempt to survive these very testing times.
That said, The Government, at all levels, NHS and myself are trying to discourage ‘people’ from unneccessary trips to shop/window shop and by having too many ‘adapted’ shops opening is causing the opposite effect.
I had a conversation with someone nearby on the telephone on Monday, who informed me that he and his wife had had the Covid-19 virus, he explained the symptoms and it appeared from what he said to be correct. I asked how they managed during the 12 or so days they had it – he said that ‘THEY WENT SHOPPING’ – sorry are these people for real or am I the only one trying to get the message understood.
I did go out today in a full face mask and gloves, to deliver 4 presciptions to our folk who are not able or allowed out. I did this and nothing else???
