It wasn't a problem for me as I was already not going as the reason for the trip had been cancelled. I was only waiting on Eurostar to find out if they cancelled the trains so I could have a refund or if I would have to accept a voucher. On the 4th time of asking they have issued a refund...

I had a booking for Friday June 12. They emailed me on Tuesday June 9th to say it was cancelled (and the same gap for the return trip).

One train a day to and from Paris now

Not within weeks or probably months. There isn't the infrastructure (eg UK truck drivers) to switch quickly.

The trigger for the infection/hospitalisation drop in London was lockdown. Since that started at the same time nationally why would there be a lag outside London?

Working at height on gutters shouldn't really be done on your own for safety reasons.

If a business didn't have working from home kit before this started they probably can't buy enough for all their staff. It's not as dramatic as the PPE shortage but there is a lack of equipment in the supply chain. Companies like Dell hardly have any stock and keep missing delivery windows...

We know how many are hospitalised we have a working theory of how the percentage of people that get infected need hospital treatment (eg from other countries) which allows you to work backwards to the number of infections. I agree it will have massive error bars though. There is a plan to test...

I don't think you will get the majority wearing masks until they are easily available. I'm perhaps looking in the wrong places but everywhere I've looked is sold out or price gouging.

Perhaps some kind of fixed block signalling with a token you collect at the bottom of the stairs?

That's the point, it isn't the law. It's fine for people to tut in forums but the police should police the law only.

Which is great if you have a bike. Many people don't have one and don't have the cash to buy one or the space to securely store one.

The vast majority of the wider population are following the law and the guidelines. It's a long old walk from next to Victoria Park in Tower Hamlets to the countryside.

The police don't, as evidenced by their repeated refusal to police 20 mph speed limit areas.

I'm not a constitutional law expert but I don't think a new SI under the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984 needs to go before Parliament before it comes into force, just within 28 days.

If there are a lot of people out it becomes hard to stay apart.

Online? Plenty on Amazon. Or you could get some John Lewis own brand delivered to your local Waitrose for collection along with your essential[1] Ardennes pâté. [1] says it is essential on the packet so no arguing with that
