Day 85

Shops crowded, queues, okay people have not been in them for a while. I said the people would ultimately decide and it seems they have. Little thought about the virus, let’s shop. The social distancing and avoidance of each other is unmanageable when the public go back to those things they think matter.
Did the government, who have largely abdicated their responsibility, honestly believe that people would stick to the guidance? Naivety of the worse kind.
We now need to manage our daily lives with disinfecting and caution not wholesale distancing which from the evidence I’ve witnessed does not work.

I notice Trump has been unusually quiet for the last few days? Maybe for once he as actually listened to someone who has told him to shut up. There must be someone who he takes notice of or he would never have got this far? Mind the odd snippet that has sneaked through are as crass and stupid as usual.

A footballer pleading with our government to reinstate free school meals is a sad reflection on our society. Good on him and well done for pushing so hard. His fame and high profile is needed in order to generate the necessary awareness. With everything else that this government has reluctantly put in place would free meals really make much more of a dent in a busted budget? The bigger question is why do we need to provide free meals in a supposedly wealthy country? I think we know the answer to that? According to government statistics they have reduced child poverty so we don’t need them!

Stay well
