I live in Shipley, which is, unfortunately, part of Bradford met, as are Ilkley, Bingley, Baildon etc.
Shipley has not had any COVID cases for around a week but that doesn't seem to matter as we are now in lockdown again since last Thursday, a time when I was on holiday in Whitby under one roof with my son, who lives alone, my daughter and her two kids who also have their own house.
The rules imposed on the whole of the metro area, regardless of how many COVID cases have been identified in particular areas within the metro area, mean that though we have spent the last week with our family, my wife and I are now unable to see or help our daughter and our grandkids due to them not being in the same bubble. It doesn't affect my son who is in our bubble. What a load of old tosh this rule is. I understand the need for isolation and so on, but our circumstances are, I'm sure, not unique.
Due to the fragile state of my daughter who is divorced and cares for the kids as well as working from home and our 11-year-old grandaughter, who has perked up during the holiday but has been badly affected mentally by the previous lockdown restrictions, We feel we have no alternative to assist her and therefore break the law. I may therefore soon have a criminal record.
Just a quick thank you to those who have caused the increase in diagnosed cases in inner Bradford which has affected us all, to the Council for being total prats and not closing the affected areas down whilst leaving the low-risk areas alone, and to the Government for tightening the restrictions without any thought to individuals.
I have it on good authority that the attached figures are correct.
Latest figures: Covid-19 patients in our Bradford hospitals
Confirmed COVID-19 patients currently inpatient Trust-wide - 7
Confirmed COVID-19 patients currently in ICU - 0
