Lockdown easing in England

I don't know my blood group.

My husband heard somewhere that Chinese sewers from Wohan  go on mass to Milan the weeks before the Milan Fashion Week to make all the last minute alterations.  But this could be speculation.

You mean "en masse"? I envisioned Milan churches full of Chinese visitors. 

So did I, but with Chinese sanitary pipes as visitors.

Chinese Whispers.
Between us we've come up with a "theory" of how Covid-19 got from China to Italy. Some people would believe our theory.

Three out of the four of us are A +. The other one doesn't know , as they have a minor condition which means they can't donate blood, so they've never had blood taken for grouping!

Well my eyesight not being quite up to the small print in Emails ,at first I read it as Sewers from Wigan!
Everything might have been OK had the sewers really hailed from Wigan!

Oh hindsight!

From today's IOM Briefing:

Social distancing requirements to disappear from Monday (with some exceptions, such as hospital).
Covid-19 all but eradicated from IoM.
Leisure and hospitality restrictions to be removed sooner rather than later.
Gatherings (2 inside, 30 outside) may change on Monday.
Borders will remain closed - dependent on the UK situation.
Up to individual shops whether they enforce social distancing, or return to "normal"

That’s really good news 

I see that there are fewer than 100 Covid-19 patients in hospital in Ireland today.

Did I just hear correctly that Dido Harding has just said, if you have tested positive, you are to phone them up and give them a list of your contacts   

I thought that they were supposed to phone up those who had tested positive and they then ask you for your contacts. 

What are these 25000 tracers doing?

From what I read over the weekend, I get the impression that no one's told the tracers what they're supposed to be doing. There was an interview with a lady with lots of experience doing the work but she was still waiting to be contacted - and getting more and more frustrated.

I just hope we don't have to rely on BJ and co to organise our first outing to the local brewery!
