The simple truth is that you can’t have ‘normal’ life without viruses being spread. But we also don’t have the health capacity to deal with new cases and all the rest.
There is some elements of this whole situation- eloquently summed up by Adams Kebab earlier- that are just stupid and erode any trust that may exist between public and government.
There’s also backdoor changes that were brought in and have stayed in that are ridiculous. Phone calls with GP’s for example. How many people end up wasting 2 weeks ‘diagnosis time’ as the GP says ‘yeah you’d better come and see me’. Of course I should. It’s ** obvious to me that I should and I’m NOT the doctor...
And I’m yet to be convinced that the death toll is a true reflection of deaths that wouldn’t have happened otherwise. Hey ho. I’m wearing my mask and I’ve got my passport for tomorrow. And in either case it’s a minor (if that) inconvenience.
