Southend Beach
This is Southend Beach, England hundreds of people yesterday crowded on beaches to bask in the sun on the hottest day of the year. It's allowed, coming after the UK Government announced an easing of lockdown restrictions on May 10, new rules in England allow people to enjoy unlimited exercise, sunbathe, picnic and drive to beauty spots in the country as long as they respect social distancing guidance and return home the same day, so everyone in the photo has a right to travel to the beach for a day out. So this was kind of inevitable, but 2m distancing, fat chance. Bloody imbeciles! This is so risky, there's 'easing ' the lockdown. Then there's just reverting back to normal. It beggars belief, it's simply crazy,
Meanwhile thanks to the Welsh Government/ Senedd Cymru, people are staying at home and saving lives. Take a look at the contrasting photo below taken on the same day in Barry Island, Wales.The lockdown restrictions were in place across the UK for a reason to try and stop the spread of coronavirus,This makes it a health matter, and in Wales, health is a devolved issue , and is therefore a matter for the Welsh Government to decide on, not the UK Government. Welsh Government First Minister of Wales Mark Drakeford has previously voiced concerns about the transmission rate of Covid-19 in Wales.
At a recent press conference he cited projections which showed that if the rate of infection increased above the 1% mark in Wales, it would lead to hundreds more lives lost and further strain on NHS resources. So for now Wales will continue with strict lockdown measures for at least another three weeks. I much prefer this more cautious approach compared to our blustery Prime Minister Bojo the clown who has put his faith into the 'common sense' of the British public, more concerned about saving the economy than saving lives. His actions are those of a man convinced that he, and by extension, the country he leads possesses the magical ability to escape a disease that has brought much of the world, including neigbors like France, Spain and Italy, to its knees.Under him 62,000 UK citizens have died The mind truly boggles at times. We can only hope there is not a second wave because Europe's top World Health Organisation official Dr Hans Kluge has warned that a more deadly spike arriving in the winter could coincide with outbreaks of other infectious diseases. Speaking to the Telegraph
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/05/21/second-wave-uk-coronavirus-europe-winter/ he warned that now was the time for preparation, not celebration." I guess Johnson has not heard him, strange because it's one of his favourite papers,he used to have his own column. I personally know who I would trust, oh and where is Johnson hiding we don't see much of him nowadays,.
