Day 100 Zooooom

Notes for new readers - as this is a diary the first entry is the last, so you get to know 'who done it' before the crime is committed! This is a pain but can't be helped. After a week of entries the scrolling will stop and if you want to venture further click on 'OLDER POSTS' and read until you get to the first entry 'The Day Before Day 1

I think this is a Chicken-of-the-Woods bracket fungus Laetiporus sulphureus. It's my photo but I can't remember where I took it France or the Uk but is common in both.

Very windy today. I Did laundry and house cleaning - my favourite jobs!! Looking forwards to the Rotary Zoom evening tonight with a Murder Mystery. I will report back after the event.
Well, the Zoom session was great. There were 38 attendees plus a few partners. It all went with barely a hitch. The Murder Mystery worked well too although a third of us guessed 'who done it'. I'm still waiting for my desert though as David who collected the dinners went off with my cheesecake.
Jasper slept through it. He thought it was boring.

Scientists for EU 

Now, a Reuters investigation reveals further missteps and failures by officials and government agencies, including Selbie’s Public Health England, in testing, tracking and tracing. Among decisions that doctors and epidemiologists say cost lives were:

• Failure to build up capacity to perform mass tests for COVID-19.

• Deciding on a narrower definition of COVID-19 than used by the World Health Organization and other countries.

• A decision to abandon testing of most people who didn't require hospitalization, and failure, early on, to create any way to track infection.

• A decision to abandon a programme of widespread “contact tracing,” in which people in contact with an infected person were traced and told to isolate to stop the outbreak spreading.

• Deciding to share almost no details about the location of infections with local public health officials or the public.

• Fragmenting local responsibility for public health.

“Every mistake that was made did, unfortunately, cost lives,” said Professor Tim Spector, an epidemiologist at King’s College London.

To tackle the coronavirus in Britain, doctors and health specialists needed to find it. But with few tests, little contact tracing and a government culture of secrecy, they lost sight of the enemy.

These two pictures illustrate 'roaching' and is characteristic behaviour of sighthounds. They like to show you what they've got and this dog is Rufus Whippet, sadly no longer with us.
