Today I received 4 requests from self isolating residents for their medications to be collected and delivered, unfortunatley there was no NHW coordinators in the area’s, so I decided Connie & I would facilitate the requests.
I remained in the car throughout and she wore protective clothing.
I was somewhat ‘extremely’ surprised by the number of people on the streets of Whittlesey, all appearing to be on essential business.
There was 8 people waiting outside the Norwich & Peterborough all at safe distancing.
Heron & Savers had plenty of customers.
I could take off photo’s from my dash-cam – but would probably be violating someone’s human rights.
Either I am wrong, the Government advice is wrong, Scientific prognosis is wrong, but it looks very much like many appear to be ‘on holiday’.
There were several groups of what looked like families or friends, that were in close proximity to one another.
Well at least we have done our good deed for today….
I can only keep on – with the advice we are being given –
It is so important to stay at home and only to go out if it is really necessary – Yes we all want a bit of fresh air, yes if you have a dog it will need to do its business….but I can not emphasis how important it is to go out as little as possible.
As I stated last Saturday – ‘some people’ going shopping appeared to be treating it as a usual ‘jolly day out’ taking with them their partner and children – are these people not watching what is happening….
Yesterday 381 people tragically died from the virus.

Note as well the ‘Dear Customer’ introduction, I would expect a name to be there, but even if it does that does not mean it is genuine.

I have just received notification of a scam call that was made in the Peterborough area of the county.
I cannot confirm or deny at this time if similar calls have been received in other areas.
My contact received a phone call and the number displayed was 01733 798128. (Peterborough landline)
The mail voice claimied to be from 02, and was offering help for small businesses in the local area with cash during COVID-19 crisis.
The following is in their words and this time it makes no reference to offering help to a small business:
The suspect number was checked against https://who-called.co.uk/Number/01733798128 and there is reporting that this number has been used to contact people claiming to sell crime prevention equipment/services.
Comment
A suspect can make their telephone number look like any number they like, it is called spoofing.
DO NOT trust the number displayed on your phone until you have verified it through other tried, tested and trusted means.
Note the comment by my contact ‘a very nice man’
Criminals are using social engineering, they will sound nice because they are trying to steal your money and they want you to believe them.
Most people will realise this is a scam, but others will not, so the more people alert to scam telephone calls, text messages
For every 100 calls a criminal makes, they only need to get lucky once.
The current national crisis is being exploited by fraudsters, individuals, businesses and charities.
