So we are to continue with the current Covid position, with a few tweaks. It goes without saying that the majority of us have had enough and enough is enough! This virus will continue to mutate and spikes will continue to happen, it is the nature of it. It appears from what I have read (and the figures) it is the younger members of our population who are experiencing the biggest rise in cases. I am no medical expert (I am not an expert on anything as these pages prove daily!) but either the vaccine is working or the the virus is slowly being got under control. The treatment of it has improved as we have learnt more about it and whilst the strain on the NHS is still bad, if we continue to run under these conditions it will remain that way. Let’s be honest the NHS was under enough strain as it was without the added pressure of the Covid pandemic.
It is evident that this government are stealthy setting up the NHS to privatise as much of it as they can and our treasured free at the point of delivery health system will no longer be the one we have known for all of our lives. Health Insurance will become the norm. I have been paying into a health organisation for a few years and though we have never used their services we have them as a back up just in case.
The strain on the NHS could be hugely reduced with preventative measures. It is our own individual responsibility to look after ourselves. Exercise, eat well and generally take care. You don’t have to go to the gym and pound the treadmill there are many activities you can have that will keep you fit. I for one try to stretch and do some exercise each day and of course I have for years been a keen bike rider. Naturally there are lots of conditions over which we have no control no matter how fit we maybe, for which we have to seek medical help.
I am going to be sexist and rather rude but it is a question that has rattled round in my head for some time and intrigues me. Why do big women insist in wearing black leggings and often black tops to go with them? If they think black is slimming let me tell you they are mistaken! I have written before how I despair at the average standard of dress of the British. I’m not suggesting everyone has to dress smart or wear designer clothing but they could at least try to appear with some co-ordination and style. I am constantly amazed at the outfits I observe people wearing, do they not have mirrors in their homes? If I never see another pair of jogging or track bottoms it will be too soon. We must be the worse dressed nation in Europe but then I guess most people don’t care. What the hell happened to this nation which has a one of the largest fashion industries in the world and some of the best designers. You don’t have to have a lot of money to dress well just some bloody taste!
Stay well
