Think about the number of deaths so far in the UK... 78,508 a number that equates to the Olympic Stadium capacity in London in 2012.

That number is only going to get greater if people followed the correct guidelines, but stupidity will always win... A quick visit to my local Aldi shows that there is no concept among most about preventative measures and adhering to the guidelines... A chap when asked to maintain the social distance responded by saying "you move away then"... Covidiots are a law unto themselves and will never learn, deniers are everywhere irrespective of the number of deaths and sadness experienced by their families.

NHS, Social Care support staff and key workers need your support now more than ever. Sadly since the last show of support by Clapping at 8pm on a Thursday evening over 650 frontline healthcare workers have died.

This time, instead of clapping for NHS, Social Care support staff and key workers please follow the guidelines, wash your hands, wear a mask, social distance and stay at home. Please don’t pretend to care if you don’t even follow those basic rules to actually protect everyone.

The situation in Wales is far from being resolved, Wales Government announced last night that schools and colleges in Wales will stay closed to most pupils until the February half term unless there is a big reduction in Covid cases. Schools and colleges had already been told they would have to teach online until 18 January at the earliest, however this will now continue if cases of the virus do not fall before the next review date on 29 January.

The tier 4 lockdown in Wales will next be reviewed on 29th January so until then movement and activities are curtailed, retailers classed as non-essential are closed again, only supermarkets, pharmacies and those who sell items such as food and medication are allowed to remain open, but with strict social distancing measures in place.

Death from Covid-19 has been a sad end for thousands and their families and sadly there will be more to come...

I wear my mask to protect you… You wear your mask to protect me… 

Wise Up and Mask Up...
