Can anyone understand that flights are still coming in from hot spots such as New York, Italy, Spain, France and so on, and of course the channel tunnel still running? I watched the BBC question time last night and the moderator bought up a question sent in by a person about flights still entering the country with no checks except passport control and just walk into the country, this will only ...

On Facebook, Devon & Cornwall police are asking people to report breaches of their instructions to STAY AT HOME. So if you know of anyone who's done just that , dob them in for all our sakes.

There have been deaths in Devon but so far we have been lucky.  As explained last night on the BBC we had very few cases as lockdown started and with the large number of retired in the South West who decided to self isolate before lockdown  this has been a contributary factor to the low number of infections.

I read a stat somewhere that the probable infection rate in the UK is about 1000 times the number of fatalities. That would indicate that circa 7,000,000 people in the UK are infected....and I'm still hearing people saying 1. There is no coronavirus in Dawlish and 2. There is no coronavirus in Devon! People need to get real and do what they're being told to do...particularly the morons ...

I have had a family member die in their own bed this week and another elderly family member fall and fracture bones and ...
