A bit harsh. I've covid fatigue in the worlds worst way. For the most part we have conformed to restrictions as my parents are elderly and they are part of our bubble. I am now finding having had two sobbing kids in two weeks find that this covid nightmare is causing huge problems. I'd love someone within our family to have some new and exciting news as it would lift the grind we've had for the last 12 months.
On another level as we've seen yet again this week with Gordon Elliot, when you f*ck up is there ever redemption or will we be reading MRS didn't conform to restrictions forever. I'd fear that we'll be seeing more Caroline Flack scenarios where people don't have the protection to deal with the flack.
And this here is exactly the problem! People who "mostly conform to restrictions" the head of the HSE said only last week that its mostly people popping into peoples houses for a cup of tea, to visit a relation, to watch a sports game, that are spreading the virus mostly now.... people "having a bubble" who shouldnt have one, only people living alone, or single parents are allowed bubbles! But i see on social media whole families, meeting whole families (8 to 10 people) saying its ok to meet cause they are "in our bubble
) restrictions are not a choice, they are in place to keep everyone safe regardless of how tired you are of them.... i have lost a child, a parent and a sibling (not from covid) and know the devastion of it, i take strong anti depressants every day, and will for a long time, i sit in my home alone every day as my husband is an essential worker. Im tired of it, im scared, alone, lonely, but still wouldnt dream of seeing my dad who is 82, who lives less than 1 km away, why? To keep HIM safe, to keep HIM alive, ive lost enough already, i WILL NOT put anyone i love at risk
