In a couple of months time the numbers will come down anyway due to seasonality, but of course it’ll be because the vaccine is working! Haven’t they got a big global summit going on in June in Cornwall? So they’ll have to lift restrictions for that, otherwise people will be quite rightly upset.
I’m honestly bewildered at the madness going on in the UK right now... meanwhile in the states although things aren’t great here at least everywhere is open. I went skiing the other day FFS. States that have less mandates and lockdowns are doing better than those that have been the strictest, such as california. Their governor only recently lifted the stay at home order, but only because he’s at risk of losing his job as people are fed up.
I’m also curious as to how many are strictly sticking to the rules at this point. No one is going to come out publicly to say they’re flouting the rules, but I know a lot of people who have been having ‘illegal’ dinner parties, or are travelling to see family on a regular basis.
Hands up, I’m not sticking to the rules. I had family over on the weekend and I’m not sorry. I’m especially not sorry because of the situation with Sir Tom Moore. He’s in hospital - WITH HIS FAMILY!! I thought rules were rules, but clearly it all depends on who you are.
Don’t get me wrong, I think he’s a diamond, but how can it be one rule for one family, and another rule for everybody else’s family. There must be hundreds of families who have members dying alone in hospitals, the implications of which will haunt those left for the rest of their lives. It’s just a
bleeping joke and makes a mockery of the rules.
They took that old man to Barbados for Christmas! Now for anybody who has ever flown commercial, we all know we’re going to get ill from being in a plastic tube for 8 hours breathing in everybody else’s air. I’ve caught a cold every time I’ve flown. I’m also guessing if Tom has Covid then so do the rest of his close knit family. It infuriates the
tit out of me!!!!
I hope and pray he pulls through, but I think the backlash from this will swiftly follow which will leave a dark cloud hanging over his achievements.
I’m just watching BBC News (I know, shoot me know) who are now reporting on deaths where Covid is mentioned on death certificates are rising. Doh, when you have the number of door to door tests rising, any of those people who die within 28 days of taking, or probably even receiving a test through their door, Covid will be mentioned on their death certificate regardless of whether they died of any other cause. You really can’t make this
tit up. The manipulation of numbers to keep the fear up is incredible. All the new variants appearing are just different variants of the common cold. That’s what viruses do and why there is no cure for a cold.
