Hindringham Hall

This morning G and I went to Hindringham Hall, one of the Historic Houses that has recently re-opened. It was so lovely to be out taking photos with G and to be somewhere other than Holt or the beach at West Runton after 100 full days of lockdown! The gardens had gone over a bit, but still lots to see including the swans with their cygnets and I've added a postcard in Extras. This afternoon we got some much needed heavy rain, in fact there was a bit of a cloudburst at one point!

Day 108 / Day 100 of Lockdown / Day 31 of Step 2 (for my record only)
UK deaths up 176 to 43,906. The UK still had 829 new cases yesterday, but per Worldometers, Brazil had 18,428; India 19,016 and the USA 24,079 new cases. Excess deaths in the US from 1/3 to 31/5 were 122,300 more than average, 28% more than the 95,235 Covid deaths reported. The US has bought nearly the entire global supply of remdesivir - unbelievable! 12,000 job cuts announced in the UK over the last 2 days.

The table of positive cases identified via Pillar 1 & 2 testing by authority on the Sky News website has Leicester at No.1 with 875.8 cases / 100k  with 140.2 weekly cases / 100k and Norfolk is 92 out of 150 with 312.61 cases / 100k  and only 4.32 weekly cases / 100k. With Leicester back in lockdown and tourists coming back to Norfolk on Saturday (unfortunately), I wonder how this will change over the next month? Local authorities are now going to be given access to testing data at post code level. 

A non-peer reviewed study in Sweden has shown that people who've had mild CV or had it with no symptoms still have T cells that could fight the virus or stop them passing it on. Twice as many have these T cells than have antibodies.
