Working together to defeat Coronavirus


The government yesterday outlined measures which will enable the emergency services, local authorities, military and NHS to work together more effectively so as to  protect the most vulnerable from coronavirus.
  • It is important to let local leaders do what’s best for the most vulnerable in their local area. 
  • That is why strategic co-ordination centres are being set up across the whole country to ensure coordinated measures can be brought into action quickly and effectively. 
  • Each centre will bring together senior members of the emergency services, local authorities, military planners and the NHS to lead communities thought this difficult time. Using their expertise, their judgement and their leadership these groups will ensure a comprehensive and coordinated response across every single part of our country.

All of us have our own parts to play too.

Some people are key workers who have a role to play through their jobs, whether it is keeping the NHS running, supplying the country with food, keeping communications channels open.l Thanks to those people for everything they are doing.

But all the rest of us can help by following government advice: wash your hands regularly, follow the social distancing guidelines.

We can and will defeat this virus. The more effectively we work together the sooner we will defeat it sooner and with least loss of life.

Stay home; Protect the NHS; Save lives.

I feel the sudden rush of wind that signals a knee jerk reaction close by. I take it the Cumbria Gold Commander will be the CC/DCC/ACC operating from Penrith, that each Borough/District will set up a Silver Command under the leadership of the area Ch Supt and that deployments of tactical responders will go on pretty much as normal. Personally, I would have thought the Chief Executive of CCC should be fulfilling the Gold Commander role, given that there hasn't yet been any real breakdowns of public order or large scale localised disaster as yet. Perhaps "Commander" is being used to create the feeling that someone is getting a grip? A Gold Coordinator in civvie clothing probably won't cut it for the cameras.
