The second wave isn't 'lapping at our shores' so much as 'brewing in our towns and cities'.  A few people coming into our island infected with covid-19 is only going to add slightly to the problem of people already here who aren't taking the pandemic seriously and not bothering with precautions. Also irresponsible business owners and tourist site operators are trying to lure people back with advertising when the message should still be to avoid all public gatherings as far as is possible.

Just to make my day a large cruise ship is headed for Falmouth with an outbreak of Covid-19 on board.

Relax Papa the cruise ship has cancelled the rest of its cruise . I thought the cruise lines had suspended operations anyway and was surprised to see this one still taking customers . Anyway its not coming to Falmouth . have a nice day

Our government messed up when covid-19 started to spread here by failing to impose restrictions and lockdown early enough. There was already evidence from Italy, Spain and France that showed how urgent it was to act fast. However, eventually the government did the right thing and it worked. Now they're lifting the restrictions and the first signs of a second wave are visible in the daily statistics. Spain and France are already into their second waves while Italy seems to have avoided one so far. Now is the chance for our government to really get things right and bring in whatever restrictions are necessary to halt the second wave.

Your mate in the tin foil hat in the car park at The Lizard? No, I appear to have missed him. But isn't in 14 day quarantine?

You are just as bad as Barry, ONS Dataset for infections due out tomorrow, you don't watch the daily bulletins on SKY and BBC either.
Also there have been no car parking spaces at the Lizard for days, to the point parts of the village are no long accessible to the emergency services.

Then open the carpark, encourage the tourists to frolic in the sunshine and spend money they don't really need on cheerful tat from the gift shop and remember that the  best cure for anything is happiness and sunshine.

Seafront has been buzzing for days,I don't even mind the extra wait, as they keep pushing pedestrian crossing buttons every few hundred yards.

You really are a gold medal award pillock.
I am hacked of with people like you who have no idea whatsoever of the problems being caused by the particularly nasty and thick crop of tourists this year.
The car parks are rammed full, the roads are obstructed with bad parking.
There are just NO facilities here for the number of people who have turned up making the place extremely dangerous. (Far more than we ever see.)
I think many of the local elected representatives who are doing a three wise monkeys and ignoring the many detailed and serious complaints from residents are in for a shock come the next elections.
It is only a matter of time before a serious incident happens here when the emergency services a can't get past the obstructions.

..no one has died today.

You still don't get it do you?  The infection rate has climbed back past 5500 a day.

Has it? Worldometer has 670 new cases in the UK on 4 August.

I wonder where they are hiding the other 4,830?

Well streetwalker does have a genuine point, so who shall we blame for that then?

Well it seems it is get in early and lay the blame with the Government.
