Impact on daily life

Impact 7th July
Three pubs now closed again
after drinkers have virus.  Different parts of the country.  They have to contact all the customers and then test them.
Finance announcement from Government on Wednesday will give vouchers of £5 thousand pounds to people to install proper insulation in their houses.  The people will still have to pay towards the cost … maybe one third.  The idea it will give jobs to companies and will help to make us more environmentally friendly.
One survey says that when a vaccine is produced for the virus, many people will refuse to have it.  Possibly one in six people (16%) are refusing vaccinations.  If this was the real number, then the vaccination would not work.  People are reading about and believing a lot of false stories in social media about different wrong news – like mobile phone network causes the virus.  The report says that Facebook especially is not fact checking what people are claiming and rumours and false information is passed on.  There is some evidence that these stories are not from individuals but from computer “bots” set up by different countries and hackers to make people confused and so that they do not trust the Governments.  Need to be careful, especially for deaf people who use Facebook a lot.
