I think the problem we have now with the virus is because Kent and outlying areas were not shut down properly some weeks back. I'm not suggesting whether something should be shut down or not, I'm saying that's why we have the huge rise in cases.
To put Kent in something like Tier 4 but to leave London to continue life as normal, what was it Tier 2, was utter madness when you have regions such as the Medway Towns, a hugely populated area, within 20 minutes of our capital via high speed link, especially in the run up to Christmas.
Let's not also forget that places such as the Medway Towns and in the opposite direction Bexleyheath and beyond (London) would have gathered at Bluewater, I'm sure some of you remember the pictures of the queues. So like a hornets nest we all gathered, oh well.
Now everything is shut down and our hospitals are full! The human race is not very smart.
