Coronavirus diary, Day 107
An incredibly clear day in West Cumbria.
Sometimes you can look from Whitehaven or the surrounding area near the coast in the direction of the Isle of Man and not see a thing.
On other days you can look in the same direction and see the island so clearly you almost feel that you could reach out and touch it. Today was one of those days.
I see form the international news that a number of countries which have relaxed their lockdowns are seeing the numbers of infections go up again.
That doesn't mean that while infections are falling and as we are putting track and trace in place it is wrong for Britain to try to get the economy going again. If we don't there might not be much of an economy after this is finally over. But it does mean that everyone - government, employers, individuals - still needs to be very careful not to spread the virus.
Keep well.
