Get yourself tucked away then and stop worrying about something you can’t control.
No Scaremonger, everything will be fine, don't worry.
Oh, hang on.
A returning holidaymaker who went on a pub crawl instead of self-isolating was partly responsible for Bolton's "extreme spike" in coronavirus cases, the town's council leader said.
The man tested positive for Covid-19 two days after the night out with friends in the town.
Bolton's high rate had been linked back to pubs and a "cohort of people" who refused to follow guidance.
"We had somebody who did not adhere to quarantine, did not stay the 14 days, literally went on a pub crawl with a number of mates," Mr Greenhalgh said.
"From that incident which took place over a weekend - (they) visited a number of premises - led to a large number of individual transmissions from that one person which you can imagine then is like holding back the tide because he then became symptomatic two days after they had all gone on this pub crawl.
"That is four or five days where all the people he was in contact with have been going about their normal day-to-day business."
But Scaremonger assures us that all of these people will be social distancing on the beach, and none of them will be going to pubs and clubs, so we can all rest easy in our beds.

How do you think a council leader is qualified in any way to epidemiologically follow a single persons positive test and state with no evidence at all that he is solely responsible for an increase in positive tests.
Use your brain and think about it. The only scaremongering going on is made up stories like this.

Visitors have flocked to Blackpool despite police warning against having a "last blast" in the resort before tighter restrictions come into force.
People reported queues for attractions, heavy traffic, little social distancing and few people wearing masks indoors.
Lancashire will be subject to tighter restrictions from Tuesday after significant increases in Covid-19 cases, but Blackpool is exempt.
Police had said they were preparing for large crowds over the weekend.
Gem Concannon, 36, from Northwich, Cheshire, said she had visited the resort on Saturday with her family.
She said: "It was heaving, hardly anyone was wearing masks or social distancing. It was shocking.
"I've never seen it that busy before."
On Friday, Lancashire Police deputy chief constable Terry Woods appealed for people not to have one "last blast" before the restrictions come into place.
'Respect the rules'
He said: "Going to Blackpool this weekend if you're not from [there] and mingling in any large crowds - that wouldn't be looking after your family.
"Make sensible decisions to protect yourselves, going to Blackpool in mass numbers is quite the opposite of protecting yourselves."
Blackpool's director of public health Dr Arif Rajpura said: "It is absolutely critical that residents and businesses adhere to the new 'rule of six' restrictions and follow all Covid guidelines around social distancing and wearing of face coverings.
"The same advice goes to those visiting our resort. The only way to stop the spread of the virus is to respect the rules which are there for a reason."
The new restrictions across other parts of Lancashire ban households from meeting each other at home or in private gardens.
Pubs and restaurants must also shut at 22:00 BST.
Infection rates in Blackpool are lower than in some parts of the county but the area has seen an increase in positive cases.
And yet there are a hard core of idiots on here who defend this.
I can only believe you're making lots of money out of this invasion.
You betray the residents of Blackpool by grabbing your 20 pieces of silver. I hope you enjoy your short term gains, because they ain't going to last long.

You have to laugh about someone from Northwich complaining about people travelling to Blackpool.Headline on BBC News Website

I wouldn't let it put you off Eagle. The muppets are taking the infections back to Manchester and East Lancs. Most locals are keeping out of the way.

Go ahead, fill yer boots. You're allowed to catch covid with total impunity, in Blackpool.
Let’s all wait till Tuesday before the new rules kick in.
That’s like saying, we know there’s a fire but we won’t start to put it out, till next week!
