Call me a cynic (really!) but do you realise that this government is now using the pandemic to control us. It’s bad enough they have handled it with scant regard for the science in spite of a success with the vaccine rollout and their insistence that it was guiding their pronouncements but now they are using it to carry on restricting us. I have said it before we need our complete freedom and the virus will do what the virus will do. The use of masks is now a waste of time. What logic is there in being able to hug someone but having to wear a mask and still social distance? The muddled advice and seesawing instructions are about as useful as flip flop for a one legged parrot. Do not be fooled by the prevarications of these fools, they are not above making you afraid in order to control our lives. Reality, well I’m sure you’ve been out and about in you town and seen that “normality” has all but returned. We eat breakfast in a cafe yesterday and very nice it was to!
Deaths are inevitable from Covid (as if there have not been enough needless ones) and the virus is bound to mutate, that is normal and natural! It is one more of our human frailties that we have to live with. It is tragic for those who loose loved ones to this virus but it is tragic to loose anyone to any condition and it happens every minute of every day, it’s called life! Do not misunderstand me I am not advocating a wholesale rush back to zero precautions and certainly if the virus gets out of control once more then we must heed the warning.
Watched the penultimate stage of the Giro de Italia yesterday afternoon. I know I wax lyrical about the toughness of these pro cyclists but never was it more evident yesterday as they climbed and climbed. It rained, snow at the side of the road, gradient of up to 17% plus and on and on they rode with the leaders at the front setting an unbelievable pace for kilometre after kilometre! Bernal the pink jersey leader never once faltered and controlled his team and the race to the very end. There is a 30k Time Trial today to finish, which will not change the top places. It is a joy to watch and is now by some distance my favourite sport, particularly as nearly all the other sport has been hoovered up by Sky. Admittedly I pay a yearly fee to watch the cycling ad free from the GCN app, so I suppose that is rather hypocritical!
Stay well
