Garden Centres were open for the first time since Lockdown began and the news reports are that they were doing a roaring trade. We weren't tempted out. We got a good supply of compost and seeds back in February and there's no difficuty ordering thngs online and getting them delivered, so it's not worth the risk for Jonah.
The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine has published an analysis of NHS data which shows that people fropm Black and Asian backgrounds are more at risk from COVID-19 than white people even taking into account the increased prevalence in those populations of other risk factors, such as diabetes and poverty. That's not good news either for Crystal or for Mariam's parents, who are both hospital doctors.
Oh Well! I suppose we must just "keep alert" (no I don;t knwo what Boris means by that, either!) and hope we don't get a second wave of infection as people start going back to work.
