Dominic Cummings’ father in law Sir Humphry Wakefield often hosts shoots at his own property, Chillingham Castle estate, in Northumberland and has expressed his love for hunting in the past. Some of the party’s fundraising events have auctioned pheasant shooting events in Scotland.

Social distancing never happens at the school gates, for some mums it's their only daily contact with an adult. Groups of children playing in the park behind the house .... Kick about on the football pitch ... large groups of teenagers meeting in the carpark of the local shopping precinct, chatting , socialising ... laughing ...
And nobody seems to have died.

It's interesting to note, that despite cycling being recommended as one of the permitted daily exercises six months ago, that it hasn't made it's way onto the official list now. I wonder why if caving is on there for example, Cycle UK and British Cycling have gone along with the limit of six, rather than the upper limit of 15, or even 30 participants?

However much that effected you ( we lost the MIL ) that was then this now...
From the DT today ...
" Data released by the Office for National Statistics gives an average of 15.6 suicides per day in England and Wales in 2019. The Government’s statistics show that daily Covid deaths in Britain have not reached 15 since August 4. "
Your not planning to kill yourself ... good.
And unlike so many other ways to lose your life, heart attacks, strokes, RTA, being struck by lightening, driving, motorcycling, ... Cycling .... the chances of death from C-19 are minuscule ... .
What is frightening you so much that you would lose your very liberty of deed and thought .....
I'm at a loss ....

Without those extraordinary measures, which have a heavy cost, the number of dead would be several times higher. You and I have not seen what Covid 19 would have done, and might still do, without those measures. I agree that C19 mortality is very low right now. If it did not have the potential to increase greatly it would indeed be just one of the numerous ways to die.
C19 also has the potential to over-fill our hospitals and render them unable to deal with other conditions. If we let this epidemic run out of control we will reduce our ability to deal with cancer, heart disease and any other life-limiting condition we can think of. Surely that on its own means we have to suppress C19 to the point where hospitals are not overly burdened with it.
And it doesn't just kill Granny. I personally know of two families locally where there are children with conditions that make them very much at risk. To keep them relatively safe, each family has had to isolate. The children themselves, their siblings and parents. And they live in very understandable fear of what one small slip-up could cost them. For their sake we have to keep C19 incidence in communities low.
We all have to exercise some responsibility here. I know of four people locally who have had a Covid test in the last week. Two of them are my son and his partner, both turned out to be negative but they did the right thing and isolated while they awaited the result. The other two are a mother and her daughter, who had the test then carried on life as they had before while they awaited the result. Mum went to work and her daughter went to school, knowing there was a doubt over their status! They were positive, so the girl's entire year group at school is now in isolation! You couldn't make it up!
