to further government may have to further restrict rules about outdoor exercise. one of the uk's top advisors says there is no precise exit strategy from the lock down. but neil ferguson said there was some signs that the measures were helping to slow down the spread of the virus. those are the headlines. now time for inside how the. hello, the coronavirus outbreak has affected oui’ coronavirus outbreak has affected our lives in ways none of us could imagine. over the next 30 minutes we will find out how people are looking after themselves and helping each other. we will meet those caring for some of the most vulnerable and checking out the power of community action. welcome to the programme.

firstjohn henderson in devon with a charity keeping an eye on those most at risk. home help visits on a tuesday. lunch club 12 noon. hair dressing. how much has changed since we first met peggy in march. lunch clu b we first met peggy in march. lunch club on wednesday. activities at the conservative club at 2 o'clock. living independently, and alone had come at a price and she had been lonely, but totness caring stepped in. at this time, government advice was about trying to find and isolate coronavirus cases at an early stage. have you heard about the coronavirus? yes. are you worried about getting it? no i'm not worried, what at 93? not going to worry about it, am i? no. i have my

family down... not an uncommon view two and a half weeks ago. john is one of the clients. are you worried? worried? no, i'm 86 year old, one of the clients. are you worried? worried? no, i'm 86 yearold, i don't have to worry and i have lost my wife, so you know it's... we just do what we have to do. also on the bus we met lunch club regular 94—year—old gus. bus we met lunch club regular 94-year-old gus. there is nothing i can do about it worrying, it it? because? because there is nothing i can do about it. if i get it, i get it and i'm old enough to go. so it doesn't matter. 0h! it and i'm old enough to go. so it doesn't matter. oh! well... why worry about it when you can do nothing about it? gus, it's your children and grandchildren would be

more worried about you catching the virus than you are yourself? 0h, yes. social clamp downs hadn't happened, because at this stage the scientist were not sure they would work. lovely. is it nice to see everyone? yes, that is the reason for coming down. and this... the charity was following nhs guidelines about washing hands for 20 seconds and binning used tissues. hello totness caring. but the charity's chief executive said the advice would change. if we are suggesting all our clies self—isolate, then we have a challenge to make them aware that there is somebody around listening to them and somebody there if they need help and somebody they

can reach out to. a week later that happened and the office reduced to a skeleton staff as older and vulnerable people were urged to stay home. as he was over 70, it included the boss. something serious is happening. i have been keeping active. whether the self—isolation will make me dwell upon my own mortality and the impact on others, because when we are leaving the office, it seems odd to say to people you have been working with for ten years, i will see you on the other side, in 12 weeks, the world will be different. but the work didn't stop and the calls were still being answered and support was still there. neil's things being

delivered. especially for peggy. the occasional special order too. she e njoys occasional special order too. she enjoys it. she really enjoys it. what ipss it going in? in a disposable coffee cup! 0k. there we are. that is for our peggy! when i can get the lid on. it might only have been day three of the takeout service. they all need lunch and a hot meal. and a beer? definitely. already confinement or shielding was proving tricky. hello. how are you doing. that looks lovely. roast pork. yeah, thank you. how are you getting on? just living. just existing. i have been told to stay

indoors and it is very boring. because i can't get out and do anything and i can't meet people and i can't chat, nothing you know? it isjust awful. i can't chat, nothing you know? it is just awful. all right i can't chat, nothing you know? it isjust awful. all right then. take care. yeah. bye, thanks for coming. see you soon. they have got something for you. look at this. look. look in the cup... your beer! they have done it specially for you. i shall have to have 2—15 now! they have done it specially for you. i shall have to have 2-1s now! there is some tape over the top. thank you i will stand it down before i spill it. roast pork and sponge and custard. thank you. what about these? i save these things up. you can do, but they have brought in a lot in we will bring a fresh one each day. but how long is this problem going on?” each day. but how long is this problem going on? i don't know. how long do you think you can keep going? as long as i takes. really?

you have to, haven't you? i have been through the war in the early days. and we managed well then. lunch delivered, what more can you ask? 0k. all right. just live long enough to live to eat it. next it was day two of the lock down. how many are you doing today? 15 totness caring and three of our members. so 18 altogether. how are you finding it? i'm finding it fine. yeah, everything's fine and i'm feeling useful, so yeah, everything's fine. you're fine? well, yes. the weather wasn't bad either, making staying in hard. just very bored and lovely weather and i can't get out. but i

walk around the back garden, when nobody sees me. i have got to have fresh air while it is there. gracious me, yes. i think you're doing the right thing by shielding yourself and staying at home i doing the right thing by shielding yourself and staying at home 1m doing the right thing by shielding yourself and staying at home i it is the only think i can do. i would get locked up if i went wandering around the day. i would be a danger to you folk and the traffic. but about the hidden danger? totness caring had no positive cases of coronavirus in its clients, volunteers or staff, including the chief executive, now also confined to quarters. do you think everyone that you look after and your volunteers will come through this? no. ithink and your volunteers will come through this? no. i think we look after people's vulnerable and frail in the community. and no matter what you do there is a chance they may catch this. and if you haven't got

your full strength you're going to be hit the hardest and that's the group we are dealing it. so it will bea group we are dealing it. so it will be a sadder place in 12 weeks. but for peggy and company time to sit out the virus and keep their spirits up out the virus and keep their spirits up as best they can. next sam has the story of one care home in the eye of the coronavirus storm. it is monday morning and i haven't slept very well, not many people in social care or the nhs have slept well. ana runs harbour house on the

west coast. she made a video diary for us. i'm heading into work, listening to the radio on the way m, listening to the radio on the way in, trepidation, fear, anxiety about what i will find. i need to make sure mine doesn't enter building. i need to support everybody else. the ca re need to support everybody else. the care home, it is very quiet. i will turn and show you the seaside and where we are. two years ago, the bbc filmed at harbour house. is that a good start made me feel good all day. then the big issue was the financing of care. now it is simply how to keep everyone safe. protective equipment, p—p—e, is in short supply. i have watched the news and i know there is more

available to the nhs, but i'm not sure about us. i hope that will be a massive consideration, because we have got 300 masks in the building. there are 35 residents at harbour house. the youngest is 83. there is more available to the nhs, but i'm not sure about us. i hope that will bea not sure about us. i hope that will be a massive consideration, because we have got 300 masks in the building. there are 35 residents at harbour house. the youngest is 83. you have had a phone call from australia this morning. you have had a phone call from australia this morninglj you have had a phone call from australia this morning. i have. who was it? my youngest daughter to say happy mother's day. a day late. she tried to get me yesterday, from australia this morning. i have. who was it? my youngest daughter to say happy mother's day. a day late. she tried to get me yesterday, but i was on the phone i expect. have been some tough conversations.” on the phone i expect. have been some tough conversations. i have had a resident give me a letter telling me where his funeral plot is, he is worried his family won't be able to tell us if something happens to him. staffing is a worry for head of care. now is the time where we will have to start putting it out there that we need relief carers. because

it could be by the end of week we could be five or six or ten staff down. i must give a similar simple instruction, you must stay at home. david, tell me about your appointment bgs you have been looking forward for your hearing aid and now you can't go. tell me your frustration. sorry? sourcing meal time favourites is also tricky we can't get chicken or fish. we are going to try. it might even be that we do some crabbing on the bay! we can do that. socially distancing ourselves. but brace yourselves for baked beans. and corned beef. corned

beef! the residents' biggest worry is the comings and goings of staff. i'm happy about us being in here, self—contained unit, but the achilles heel is staff coming in and out and bringing the infection in. how soon would you consider... having live in staff. we are close to it. i think we are extremely close to it now. ann that we talked about the capacity tracker for the nhs and they want to know how many beds we have, so they can discharge people within an hour of being told they're well and people within an hour of being told they‘ re well and straight people within an hour of being told they're well and straight into our ca re they're well and straight into our care homes. everybody‘s worried. how do we know that they're clear if there is no testing? how do we know

that we can provide the right amount of staff if we have not got enough of staff if we have not got enough of our own staff, how do we know we can ca re of our own staff, how do we know we can care for that person and whether they should be isolated? they're not even coming out with p—p—e, because there isn't any. how do we make sure we are all safe? a little bit nervous again, but going in with a big smile. that is important. everyone in social care is going to have a big smile, no matter how they're feeling. how will we keep the two metre rule? we can't. we are doing personal care and we are talking to people who need us to be close, because they can't hear. which can't socially distance from our residents. if we withdraw ourselves, we are really in trouble. i have come in this morning

and my head of care is upset. driving home, there was so much traffic and so many people walking around and! traffic and so many people walking around and i do not believe they we re around and i do not believe they were out doing their hour exercise or because they were going to work. do as your told and do not go out unless you have to. i'm here with my gang, looking after eve rybody's loved ones. while i'm doing that i'm not looking after my own. i can't see them. my dad is 81 on monday and i can't see him. stop it! let us, the front line carers, just do our jobs. you're making it so difficult for us. it is getting to the point where i want to scream and shout at people in the street and i can't be that crazy lady. i can't give her a hug. sol that crazy lady. i can't give her a hug. so i will do this. stay inside.

what will happen to our residents with hospitals? it is clear that if one of our residents is to contract anything relating to covid—19, or even falls over... probably won't be much of a priority. care homes may have to start getting into touch with hospices and we start to get trained in proper end of life stuff. when i say stuff, i mean there could bea when i say stuff, i mean there could be a point where you have to learn to do injections that a district nurse would do. not one of us has a problem with that. if that is what we have to do to help somebody end their life pain free. that is what we will do. if we are upskilled and get used like this, we need to be remembered that we have done this and we won't deskill and down skill again. we are here and ready, upskill us and remember what we have

done to help. i was woken up at one o'clock by the cook, she is poorly and doesn't know what to do. i haven't slept since then. i think this one slept quite well by the looks of it. thoughts for the day? let's hope it's a good day and lots of people stay in and take heed of the government advice and we don't have to do hospice training and learn how to care for the dying. i think we might have to. we have received the covid—19 managing the covid—19 pandemic in care homes. i'm looking through it and it is quite scary in terms of what is expected of us. we need to be aware that tra nsfer to of us. we need to be aware that transfer to hospital is unlikely and be remaining open to admissions throughout the pandemic and to accept back care home residents who

are covid—19 positive and isolate them. they're not telling us they're going to come back negative. they will come back positive. i know i have to talk to my team about it. the implications of what we are going to be involved in... it is a difficult one, but we have to support this. applause. i have been outside with the whole of my village, with everybody clapping and cheering and that is quite uplifting and i'm grateful to everybody who has done that. notjust in my village and my town, not in my city, just all along the uk, that was so much needed for all of us. it was a massive uplift. thank you. i'm going to get the residents to join in today, because we haven't heard

enough from them. here we go. morning everybody. i'm here with ann. here is knell. say hello to yourfamily. ann. here is knell. say hello to your family. enjoy your stay in. are your family. enjoy your stay in. are you happy? yes. are you well? yes andl you happy? yes. are you well? yes and i particularly like the food. good. i'm getting fat. any messages for you family all over the world?|j for you family all over the world?” love you all and miss you all and hope this horrible thing will go away soon and we hope this horrible thing will go away soon and we can hope this horrible thing will go away soon and we can get together again. but love to everyone of the family, love you. as of monday, harbour house was still waiting for new protective equipment. the home had no known cases of coronavirus.

this is the falmouth community gospel choir rehearsing before coronavirus forced them to stop doing what they love. we thought you would love to see their story. it is a real testament to how music can get people through tough times. i love what i do. ifeel what i love what i do. i feel what i i love what i do. ifeel what i do. i share it. it is incredible therapy, you cannot remember anything else once you're doing this. you can't feel the pain. you can't remember your problems. you can't remember your problems. you let go of everything, because you're so absorbed in something that is just so uplifting. it is like

riding a wave. i thought music was what other people did, i do sport and i don't do music and now i can.” people did, i do sport and i don't do music and nowi can. i was told when i was eight that i could never sing. soi when i was eight that i could never sing. so i gave up anything like that. and then lee said, you can be in the choir, everyone can sing. it is about muscle memory. lee means everything to me, she is such a good friend and such a good role model too. i think we were meant to find each other all of us. i was meant to come here i think and it has helped me, the choir and overcome my fears. when i was at school i got badly

bullied. i thought i was going to die. what form did the bullying take at its worst? can you just do that ain? at its worst? can you just do that again? she was pushed and shoved around a bit and locked in a to it at one point and said, i hope you die of throat cancer, because she was a singer. just horrible. singing's like the healing. it is what i do when i feel like this, i singing's like the healing. it is what i do when i feel like this, i go on my microphone and start singing.

on the third note. i've kind of been inspired by her as well. i love swimming, sol inspired by her as well. i love swimming, so i always thought how cani swimming, so i always thought how can i share my love of what i do well, so i've started to take people swimming. the care home thing was inspired by the gospel choir singing in the care home and it's... i'm going to get emotional again. i was speaking to one lady who said she a lwa ys speaking to one lady who said she always goes swimming. i thought that is fantastic, i go swimming as well. i spoke to the staff and they said, no, she doesn't go swimming, she used to go swimming, but she doesn't swim now. you should have seen their faces. they loved it. one lady made me throw water on her face and she

lit up in a big smile, because that is what she did when she was little. it was just... that was just fantastic. the hall is used to music and choirs and had a lot of male voice choirs and had a lot of male voice choirs and it has a great tradition. a lot of people in the villages are not exposed to much. so there is no real knowledge at all of what's coming. i do try to warn them. they will hear this sound, this wall of sound coming out of these white people. that is a phenomenon. it is literally how are they doing that?

the falmouth community gospel choir and you can find out plenty more information and advice on the bbc web—site and your bbc local radio station will be with you every step of the way. from me, thank you for watching and take care. hello, it is a settled sunday for much of the country, with some warm spring sunshine. this is the view from the weather watchers and not a

cloud in the sky in cambridgeshire. beautiful in the highlands of scotland. some snow on the tops of mountains. it has been chilly, but things will be milder today. there is some cloud on the forecast and you can see it spilling in, it is a front that will bring some patchy rain later on. ahead of it, we have a strong southerly wind driving milderairupfrom a strong southerly wind driving milder air up from the continent. a difference to the feel of the weather. it is blustery as well. plenty of sunshine around. a veil of high cloud in western fringes, perhaps a few isolated showers by the end of the afternoon in northern ireland. here, is where we will see the strongest of the winds, in excess of 40mph widely this afternoon. maybe stronger on still later. it is a southerly direction, so it is warm. not as warm where we have the cloud and rain with 13 to 16 degrees. but highest values of 21

clus. — degrees. but the tree pollen will be high. tonight a spell of wetter weather pushing in and heavy rain in west—facing coasts. that will weaken as it moves inland. but a blanket of cloud and a very mild night, many towns and cities staying in double figures. we start on monday morning with a cloudier story with a spell of heavier rain moving back into the south—east. so that could affect south—east england and east anglia for a time. once that clears, sunshine and a few isolated showers. chiefly to the far north and west. not quite as warm on monday. still the temperatures though above the average for the time of year. but we are looking at highs of 10 to 18 degrees. as we move out of monday, for the week

ahead, it does look as though high pressure will build again. a good deal of dry and settled weather in the forecast. take care.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. queen elizabeth is to make a rare television address to britain and the commonwealth, stressing the value of self—discipline and resolve. england's health secretary has warned the government will look again at allowing outdoor exercise if people flout social—distancing rules. if you don't want us to have to take the step to ban exercise of all forms outside of your own home, then you've got to follow the rules. one of the uk's top scientific advisors says there is currently no precise exit strategy from the lockdown. exit strategies from this are very problematic, challenging.
