UK into lockdown. Again.
“On hearing ill rumour that Londoners may soon be urged into their lodgings by Her Majesty’s men, I looked upon the street to see a gaggle of striplings making fair merry, and no doubt spreading the plague well about. Not a care had these rogues for the health of their elders!”Samuel Pepys Diaries - London 1664
Keep careful diaries, everyone. Some blogger in 2420 could be quoting you

Me I am trying my best to buck the trend
stay safe Spain is not good just now.
You stay safe too - and remember when you read the news that there will be a lot of 'look how bad things are elsewhere' stories. We are okay here, right now. My post even just arrived, although Postie Patricia handed it over at extreme arms length and retreated hastily
I can't help but wonder how this will affect the first time I am stopped on the way to the shops, if I test positive. Will I be allowed to continue in my dust-mask and a pair of disintegrating disposable surgical gloves?
Note to self - disposable is something of a misnomer. The box of gloves has been open for 2 years. The gloves are discoloured, and tend to split unless donned with extreme care, but in 2 years have failed to turn to fairy dust.
They are far from being biodegradable unfortunately
And yes, I would say you'd be stopped from continuing your trips to the shops as you could infect other people if you are infectious. But the results aren't instantaneous. Depending on resources, they can take anything from a few hours to a week.
But 650k testing kits won't do the full population of Spain either way, so they will be used on people experiencing symptoms.
They must be a new version.
We are still on the wait and see variety.
My blog definitely needs to be deleted. At least the comments.
Z has sorted the other issues
I know a person waiting a full week for a test.
At least if they have to wait another week, their 14 day term will be up anyway
He did love his Parmesan cheese.
