The random number of six people as a maximum "gathering" has been discredited by the scientific community. Does make you wonder where they get the figures from. I feel sorry for the workers in my local super market, it is often rammed with 100+ people. In another setting that would constitute an illegal rave !

The goal is to get less mixing of people, it's difficult to rely on the common sense of a lot of folk, so the Govt come up with an idea to create a limit and hope people will stick with it. I've noticed that many people have become complacent - one example....a cafe we used a few weeks ago wasn't allowing any punters near the counter, all payments to be made at the table. Last week it was ok to go to the counter to pay, and the proprietor's friend was standing close beside the counter for a good 20 mins conversing with no mask on - this wouldn't have happened the previous visit. Just one example, but if this is happening all over the Country (and in places of higher population density than sleepy Norfolk) the numbers infected will rise.

I know its a problem and at the moment there is no easy answer. Its down to individuals being sensible but people all have their own ideas. Vaccines are still a long way off in the future, treatments are getting closer by the day though. I'm a share holder in a UK company called 4D Pharma. They are working in a new area of medicine for treatments from IBS to cancer to Covid19. Their trials are showing some very positive results with proven safety. There is plenty going on behind the scenes.
