There are those who for some unknown reason are starting to believe that the pandemic is over? Johnston lifting restrictions is just a popularised move to deflect from his obvious troubles. Cases may have dropped but not by much. Deaths are still being recorded at an alarming rate and more variants are on the way as this pathogen keeps replicating itself in order to survive. Did you know that so far 1 in 500 people in the UK have been recorded of dying from Covid. Think about that for a moment from a population of 67 million, 1 in 500 people? This virus is far from over and indeed probably never will be? If you think abandoning all precautions is okay then I am afraid you are sadly mistaken! Mask wearing maybe superfluous but I intend to keep mine on in indoor public spaces.
It is probably a fact that those who have not been persuaded to have the vaccine will now not ever get it. So we go forward living with the consequences of muddled thinking and poor policies and little or no more thought of protection from this embittered government.
The economy has always been prioritised over the health of the nation and only incontrovertible proof that we had to lock down stopped this government from letting us continue to act normally. Profit once again has trumped social issues and damn the consequences. Let me state clearly that this has little effect on me personally, I know longer work, have a pension and play golf twice most weeks, my welfare has not suffered. The injustice and appalling living standards that many in our country suffer has little to do with me but this does not mean my points are invalid. You may not agree with me, that is your right but I defy you to convince me we are not the right track and all will be well? Unless your living off the “grid” or care little for the state of our country, none of us can deny that the UK is in a sorry state and one that Brexit has only deepened? There are those who still espouse a bright future for Britain as they cling to their entrenched positions and I truly hope they are right but all evidence at this time points to the opposite.
Stay well
