Coronavirus: The Positives Of Lockdown | Yes, there are some ... |
Posted by Roger Eddowes on 06/07/2020 @ 8:00AM Lockdown was imposed across the United Kingdom in March 2020 and it hasn't been easy for any of us.

Did you know that more than 300,000 people have stopped smoking in the last few weeks? And for those who couldn't actually stop altogether, nearly 2 1/2 million have cut down at least. (Joint Study YouGov and ASH). FLORA did a survey regarding eating habits and of the 2,000 people they interviewed, 25% had increased the amount of fresh fruit and vegetables they are eating. Fewer sarnies munched on the hoof, we guess. We mustn't overlook the effect things have had on our environment. Air pollution decreased significantly whilst we weren't all hopping in our cars.
