So the lockdown conitnues and looks set to be with us in the UK for at least another three weeks. What is quite remarkable is how well the public, that is all of us, are putting up with it.

In fact the polling shows that people in the UK give more backing to the lockdown than in similar countries where the same measure has been put in place.

The other big development is the sheer scale of what has been happening in care home with a huge number of fatalities.
