"People need to realise that case numbers are going to keep going up for the next 10 days in spite of the lockdown, because of spread that has already happened. We need to guard against people starting to think the lockdown is not working while this happens. It takes at least a week for lockdown to start reducing the rate of rise."
Manchester United and England footballer Marcus Rashford is doing his bit during the crisis by ensuring children in Manchester get plenty of food. It sound as if he had a difficult time as a child and is now using his past to improve the lot of local children. So big praise for that. I had to laugh at one of his comments though. He is spending a lot of time "reading books on mentality" but said: "I didn't realise how much knowledge there is in books until I started reading them." I suppose dear old Marcus thought all knowledge came from the Internet.
Shortly I will be setting off for my daily Gove Gander - this time across the fields of Hethersett in the direction of Wymondham. Will post some photos when I return.
Other than that I have a decision to make about the rest of the day. Do I paint the entrance lobby or tidy up the study? Decisions decisions.
