| Good evening, Just when we think we are getting somewhere, the spectre of a new wave of Covid-19 appears. This weekend we are opening pubs, restaurants and hairdressers in a bid to get our lives looking a bit more like it used to be BC. That prospect has given the country a lift, helping us all to believe that perhaps we have the beating of this terrible virus. And then we hear that a major city in the middle of the country, Leicester, is facing a local lockdown because the number of cases has spiked. In fact a quarter of all the cases in that city have appeared in the past few weeks. That doesn’t sound like a virus which is under control. Just what happens to enforce a local lockdown is not clear - for instance, what happens if you live in one town and work in another? Are you turned around by roadblocks as you seek to get to your place of work? And just how will it feel if we are no longer ‘in this together,’ but picking out individual places for specific restrictions. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that. Another lockdown would be a disaster - so be cautious out there. Gillian Parkinson Editor |
