    We're worried that too many people are on the seafront making it hard to maintain safe physical distancing. We're also hearing that some people are not using the public toilets. It's not nice... 🤢 🙏 For the time being please stay away from Brighton & Hove.

    Covid-19 spreading too fast to lift lockdown in England. Agree with John & clear science advice. TTI has to be in place, fully working, capable dealing any surge immediately, locally responsive, rapid results & infection rates have to be lower. And trusted

    The Government MUST publish regional R numbers. If the R number in county Durham, the SouthWest, or London is above 1 - and I mention those places because there is evidence it IS, for each of them - then it is TOTALLY inexcusable to relax any lockdown measures there. >Please RT<
