G’ments COVID Round-Up
Coronavirus (COVID-19) roundup 23 June 2021
This morning we have released new analysis suggesting vaccine status has not had a great impact on how we live our lives.
Time use survey data shows our behaviour changed significantly over 12 months of lockdowns, with more time spent on outdoor activities such as socialising in March 2021 compared to the first national lockdown.
By March of this year, around 30 million people in the UK had received their first vaccine dose, including 92% of those aged 50 years and over.
However, any differences in behaviour identified between the vaccinated and non-vaccinated groups at this time appear to have been driven by age or occupation rather than lifestyle changes caused by having had a vaccine dose.
General changes in activity included more homeworking and less sleep compared to a year earlier.
Yesterday we estimated 8 out of every 10 people in England would have tested positive for antibodies to coronavirus in the latest week.
Overall deaths in England and Wales fell slightly, likely affected by under-reporting over the Spring Bank Holiday.
We also reported public sector borrowing in May of this year was at the second highest level on record, topped only by May 2020.
Tomorrow we will be publishing provisional data on births in 2020 and early 2021, alongside indicators of economic and social change.

Scam Alert – Covid Digital Passport Scam
We have been made aware of a Covid Vaccine Passport scam email going around that purports to be from the NHS and informs recipients that they can apply for their “Digital Coronavirus Passports” Clicking on the link within the email, takes you to a convincing but fake NHS website that asks for personal and payment details. (for an admin fee) The website has since been taken down, but in case similar emails/websites appear can you please circulate the attached alert to your residents, members, groups and mailing lists. And just to reiterate, your vaccination status is obtained FREE through the NHS App, website or by calling the NHS on 119. More information can be found on the gov.uk website; Please note that any Phishing scams can be reported to SERS (Suspicious Email Reporting Service): report@phishing.gov.uk NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH NETWORK, Central Support Team |

Am I/We Missing Something With The Environment Agengy & Saxon Pit Issues.
An article in yesterdays PT©
A Whittlesey waste wood processing company has been fined more than £26,000 for failing to manage the risk of fire and containment of dust at its site, and causing dust emissions that impacted on neighbouring businesses and a fishing lake.
I was at one of the ‘meetings’ where this company came and gave a presentation to WTC – They stated that there would be no danger, polution, or environmental impact – how wrong these cowboys turned out to be…
For the Environment Agency to take a ‘Liquidated Company’ to court when NO directors can be found to turn up, is yet another smack in the face to us Whittlesey Residents.
The derisory fine with little or no chances of recovery is yet again a travesty.
Whittlesey has been and continues to be a ‘Dumping Ground’ for various unscrupulous operators.
Disclaimer : I have deliberately not named any company or individual – as there too many to name !!!!!

Sundays Nostalgia – 50 Years Ago This Week…..£5 Watch
On my way taking Red Cross and other Inter-Government aid to Vietnam in 1970, we stopped in many places en-route to Siagon, 50 years ago this week we berthed in Hong Kong. Then of course a British territory, we spend 2 lovely weeks there and with a ‘bit’ of spare cash , I bought myself a ‘new’ watch.
A Seiko 5 – was the working mans ‘Rolex’ of the day.
Here is a picture of it – taken this morning – never needed a battery (self winding) and never serviced or cleaned.
Keeps very good time indeed – the best £5 I ever spent.
