The stats from this virus are bizarre. You look at places where you would think it would spread like wildfire and it doesn't. Perhaps that's down to the strain or mutation of the virus? Madrid has suffered 9000 deaths compared to London's 6000. Care to elaborate why you think that might be? Madrid has less than half the population of London too.
I think the issue with Madrid, spain and Italy is the following. These countries are socially very different from the uk. They are more family based with generations and generations living in a tight knit community. 4 generations of one family will live in one street or one apartment block. The population isnt as transient as London. If one member of a family gets it, you’re looking at 40 or 50 of the same family getting it. Hope that makes sense |

Important to explain the use of the word "might" in Durham Police's statement. It's the CPS who make charging decisions and a Court that determines someone's guilt. So when the Police ever say "might" in relation to any suspect committing an alleged offence, they actually mean "we think he did" because they aren't the final arbiter.
They also say that had Cummings been stopped during his eye test jaunt, he would have been told to return to where he was staying. Again, another clear indication that they believed he broke the law. Not the guidelines, the law.
Only a Court can decide though and as Cummings isn't going to receive a fixed penalty or be prosecuted, we'll never know.
In reality the Durham police are like joe public in thinking there was nothing wrong with his eye sight and that he used that as his get out of jail card and impossible to confirm unless he done a lie detector test  |

Make sure you don't spread the virus on the toilet seat or on the taps! |

Serious question, does the 6 people include kids, asking as my sister and brother in law have 4 kids under 8 so in theory they cannot see anyone and obviously we can't see them.

Well if you can't see them, you need an eye test. Have you thought about driving to Durham? I'd have thought so, tbf, they did so more detailed guidance would be issued later, but 6 people is 6 people surely? |
