Here we go again

The country went into lockdown for the second time this year yesterday.

Unlike last time we're assured that the restrictions will expire on the 5th of December. Viruses are so difficult to deal with and while we hear optimistic reports from time to time, there is still no sign of a credible vaccine. 

The government are now going ahead with a fast test system, being piloted in Liverpool. The idea is you can get a COVID test done and know the result in less than an hour. Once you're in the clear you can then go and do stuff like have a meal in  a restaurant with similarly tested friends. 

It's a good idea and 2000 soldiers are being deployed to help run the tests. Lets hope it works.
