I checked this morning. -- Bod Most people consider the UK a country, that's how it's listed in the world data.Â* Where in the UK are you that "country" only has 12? It was just an anecdote. Berkshire, 4 miles from Windsor Castle; I just rechecked and the data was for 3 days ago, so could be more now.. I might add, that the low amount is very surprising because we are also about 4 miles from Heathrow airport, so consequently there are a lot of pilots/stewardesses and airport workers living nearby. I would have thought that this area would be a fertile area for more infections. -- Bod The number for England is 1196, UK 1554 with 60 dead. That doesn't sound low to me or to Trump either, he cut off entry. I don't think that you're getting what I'm saying. I said my COUNTY. 12 people out of over ½ million IS a small amount in anyone's eyes. I've never disputed the national figure as serious. You seem to be misunderstanding me. -- Bod |

Case that;s closest was probably about 10 miles away. I heard tonight our tri county area was about 14-15, most travel related. It was old people coming home from overseas travel, not tourists coming here. Maybe that is why they thought the beach was a safe bet. If these kids weren't out in the open on the beach, they would be jammed up in hotel rooms partying. The beach sounds safer to me. They did have security and the deputies keeping the groups separated but our beaches are never like that Coney Island thing anyway with people on top of each other. Breaking news If it makes you feel better, they just announced they are closing the beach. I am just not sure if they are going to kick the spring breakers out of the hotels so that might be hard to enforce. If the kids are cooped up in their rooms, climbing back and forth on the balconies, I am not sure it is any better. |

But the number is probably climbing fast. |
