Sadly I think the govt has dug itself into a hole where it will take many, many more deaths before there will be another u-turn and you can bet Boris will find a way to blame it on others and/or distract from it somehow. (The way the pandemic has been blamed for and distracts from the impact so far of Brexit.) Now that those that don't care much about their fellow citizens have had a taste of their "normal" it will be harder to enforce any measures. Making a promise to remove all restrictions on 19th July come what may has to be one of Boris's most reckless mistakes. Not doing anything about it for so long is even more reckless.

That way they can blame the public for things going the wrong way. It's sad that it seems that too many people work on the old "I'm alright Jack" principle but hardly surprising.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785675986457392622.post-22152549278640408252021-10-21T20:36:10.777+01:002021-10-21T20:36:10.777+01:00Likewise.

I'm someone who is immunosuppressed, I know that my double vaccination and indeed my booster jab when, I get it, probably give me no useful protection. I am reliant on other people being careful which means I am still isolating because of the lack of mask wearing. The toll on lives, families and NHS staff is appalling.

I shall definitely wear my mask in church. There will be a lot of people there who will be strangers, and nobody from my 'regular' group of people. And I will not hug or shake hands. Which will be hard, but I think it is necessary.<br />I'm fed up with no 10 telling us they do not need to implement their 'Plan B' yet. I keep humming Blowin in The Wind to myself [and how many deaths will it take till they n=know that to many people have died?]Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.com
