I'm not going to get into a political debate with you, but what I will say it that on the 23rd of March I had to break it to the most vulnerable in our society that their Centre was going to shut. The one place that community transport brought them to so they could socialise. Many can't get out without help, some got the letters from the NHS, some have dementia and have no idea what's happening. They are the forgotten people, because they're not in a care home or hospital.Who actually cares? Like yes, it was bad to break the rules perhaps 6 weeks ago, but now? Literally every single person in England has flaunted the rules at some point one way or another, you go to Hyde Park and its like Glastonbury.. there are protests all over the world with thousands of people, the government BROKE their own rules for god sake and there's a population of over 60 million in the UK and we are recording under 1k cases daily, with this declining. Sorry, I understand there are a lot of jobsworth second wave warriors on here, but lets be honest, she's not putting the UK in danger, or anyone to be fair having her mum/some family in the house rather than outside. Please don't be a tell tale- posting pictures of people online is what results in suicide etc. yes, it may be selfish to some people but come on.. we are in week what? 12 of lockdown.. schools, dentists, cafes are opening.. I am pretty sure you will be OK if she meets up with some family. You probably come in to contact with more people by going to the local supermarket. The rules are a joke and if you're still letting Boris tell you that you can't see your family.. then I salute your will power. It's inhumane to tell people they can't see family for this amount of time. Hancock is an emotionless twat.
They literally have no hope of their world opening up soon
I've watched them age and deteriorate, I've heard them cry and I've cried with them. I've seen mobility issues get worse, counselled them when friends or husbands have died. Not one of them hoarded stuff, so i watched 90yr olds starve and in crisis.
Every single last one of the many many people I've had to deal with in 3 long months have stuck to the rules. Not 1 has flouted anything. Many don't even have a garden to sit in, and if they do then they can't actually get into it without help.. help that isn't there!
If family have dropped essentials round, then the family have literally dropped at the door and kept way back, and I promise that's the truth.
They haven't touched one person in 3mths.. imagine that, not having another human even hold your hand! They're depressed, and running out of hope.
Now... then you have the people that have been keeping to the rules, but see an influencer flouting them, or see neighbours flouting them. How do you think thats makes these people feel after their sacrifice?
It like my Mum used to say.. if they jumped off a cliff, would you?
No.
So why flout rules just because other people have?
Do you think that maybe if everyone thought like that then we'd still be where we were a month ago?
So yes, rules are necessary, because they're the very ones that are saving peoples lives, and flouting them is never ok, because once everyone does then these people I've described will be in for even longer and it won't be Covid that kills them, it will be isolation
