Well listened to the PM yesterday and wondered what has happened to this country. New measures will last for a period, to early to talk about Xmas, regret having to do this etc. Now let’s consider a blast from the past honest announcement.
1) As we all knew deep down Covid19 is starting to return now the winter months are drawing in on us. The summer break was nice but now we must plan for the difficult months ahead. Today we are announcing the first in a series of measures to be gradually introduced in the coming months.
2) Regrettably large family gatherings at Xmas will not happen this year. No one wants to endanger granny at Xmas so we have no choice. Xmas shopping will no doubt be mostly on line this year, Xmas lunches much reduced affairs. New Year pub crawls and passionately kissing god knows who as the bells chime is for the birds. If any of that really counts in the presence of a pandemic?
3) The idea of mass crowd gatherings at sporting events is for the birds. Yes out of doors but regrettably the journey on public transport before and after are just to risky.
I am not trying to make a political point. Any politicians of any political colour have been found wanting in recent months. Can only hope testing will be adequate, we can again avoid using the Nightingale hospitals, that news on the vaccine front goes well.
It all feels a bit like the Phoney War in 1939, followed by the sudden events of the spring of 1940. Just the seasons get reversed this time. My advice to everyone is batten down the hatches, prepare for a long and most likely bleak winter, think small Xmas if that event is important to you, etc. Just glad we have this forum to get straight answers to real problems and mutual support. There seems little else outside of it. Please stay safe and well in the coming months and your extended families. Best wishes to you all in these troubling times.
