    More effective at communicating individual responsibility:

    Covid-19 has been carried to Cumbria, according to the county’s

    I’ll drop it now, but you get my point.

    Maybe it came from Cumbria?

    I think it's a good point, but I also think there is a risk in turning it into a situation where people become the villains. The virus will almost certainly spread even if everyone does follow the rules. There are still many essential services that require lots of movement. Turning people against each other could have unintended consequences.

  • Agree. Would want to avoid turning people against each other, but at present I don’t think the language being used is accurate or effective.
