That and the lock down starting probably a week too late.

We are lucky in Wales cos it entered mostly from the South East. That bought us some time. Unlike the poor Londoners :-(

Our local A&E had to close. A nurse wasn't wearing a mask and she infected 16 people :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0

I was really surprised as my OH had a trip to A&E and everyone seemed to be so

careful. Mind you he was taken into the resuscitation ward :-0 :-0 :-0

I must say, that although it has been strange, and hard at times, the Shield provision has saved a lot of us.

Mark Drakeford has been very strict with us Welsh. Hard at times, but it's kept us safe

Scarey when he told me Pat but as it turned out he then went to acute ward. Everyone

was masked up there including the patients

Gawd that is bad Von :-0 :-0

Jem...I think 90 percent of countries locked down too Late...no one expected it to hit so fast and hard
:-( :-(

The problem with US is that most states never really locked down as we did and a lot reopened during May and after Spring break :-(

Well Trump was threatening to send the Feds in to the States to force them to open up. He thought he had the power to do so..... but he was proven wrong :-0

Yes, I think in the early days, a lot of people, medical people included, did not understand the severity of the situation :-(

But if they'd kept the police force they used to have and used HM Forces like here you can police the area. They stopped everything that moved after 9 pm and you had to have a pass if you were working. They fined quite a few people the equivalent of £550 :-D
