Covid19 – Was a major pandemic that hit the world in 2020.

  • Week 45 – January 4th – Week 1 of lockdown 3 restrictions

    Not surprised, Boris announced we are going into lockdown 3. Partly down to the new variant from Kent and to the idiots not following the simple rule. See my front page about that!!.

  • Week 43 – December 21st 2020 – Week 1 of Tier 4 restrictions

    Even though it Christmas, the communications carries on with the Hon Brokenshire, you know the drill by now.

  • Week 43 – December 21st 2020 – Week 1 of Tier 4 restrictions

    A big thank you for your support in helping us to understand and respond to COVID-19

    Season’s Greetings

  • Week 42 – December 14th 2020 – Day 1 of Tier 4 restrictions

    Tier4
    What Tier are we in Boris?

    London went into tier 4 restrictions today, I think we were luckly not to have been put into this tier already, if you have been following my communication with the Hon Brokenshire.

    Too many people are not respecting the virus and are being very selfish too.?

  • Week 42 – December 14th 2020 – Week 3 of Tier 2 restrictions

    After visiting Leeds Castle, we dropped in at a Motorway services and I couldn’t believe what I saw. You have to login to see what annoyed me!

  • Week 42 – December 14th 2020 – Week 3 of Tier 2 restrictions

    Christmas greeting I received.

    Dear Michael,

    As we come to the end of 2020, I want to say a huge thank you for everything you’ve done to support cricket during this exceptionally challenging year.

    After the highs of 2019, it has certainly not been the year we hoped and planned for, but I am immensely proud of how the whole game has come together to navigate the challenges posed by COVID-19.

    When the pandemic first struck, our collective approach was to reach out to our local communities and ask how we can help. Professional and recreational clubs, volunteers, players, and key workers across the cricket community went above and beyond to support the national effort in a time of crisis.

    Thanks to the efforts and teamwork of many of you, we were also able to get back on the pitch across all levels of the game. We played in locals parks, in mosques, in back gardens and, of course, in front of empty stadiums. We played anywhere we could, watched our men’s and women’s teams on Sky and BBC, and put smiles on millions of faces across the country. This summer, above all others, we needed it.

    There are many challenges ahead, but it has been fantastic to see the enthusiasm to get fans back into stadia, to give more people the opportunity to play the game, and to keep connecting communities and improving lives through cricket. We will be working hard over the winter to make sure all of this can happen safely in 2021.

    Together, we can make next year one to celebrate. Before then, I hope you have a restful festive break with your loved ones – you have earned it. Thank you once again.

    Another conversation with Hon Brokenshire, it’s no wonder cases continue to rise and people dying. You have to login as always to see.

  • Week 40 – November 30th 2020 – Week 1 of Tier 2 restrictions

    I was finally able to have a flu vaccine jab, my first one for a few years, but I thought with Covid19, to have some more protection was better.

  • Week 40 – November 30th 2020 – Week 1 of Tier 2 restrictions

    So on this day December 2nd, the first vaccine was approved to fight back against this killer virus Covid19.

    The UK has become the first country in the world to approve the Pfizer/BioNTech corona virus vaccine, paving the way for mass vaccination.

    Britain’s medicines regulator, the MHRA, says the jab, which offers up to 95% protection against Covid19 illness, is safe to be rolled out.

    The first doses are already on their way to the UK, with 800,000 due in the coming days, Pfizer said.

    Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the NHS will contact people about jabs.

    Elderly people in care homes and care home staff have been placed top of the priority list, followed by over-80s and health and care staff.

    But because hospitals already have the facilities to store the vaccine at -70C, as required, the very first vaccinations are likely to take place there – for care home staff, NHS staff and patients – so none of the vaccine is wasted.

    A further 648 deaths within 28 days of a positive Covid19 test were recorded in the UK on Wednesday, with another 16,170 cases reported.
