Sadly you do have the right to kill yourself .... but don’t take me with you.

Corona virus.

It’s the only show in town and at this point the only thing on tv. 

I can’t bring myself to watch the Corona virus updates which show 3 politician/medical expert/blah blah blah person with their podiums set to the recommended 2m distance for people to still socially distance.

There is very little informative to learn from them and some of these people have no bedside manner or ability to feel empathy with the people in lockdown watching them from their homes.

It’s good to know that 90% of Britons are following the lockdown order. What about the rest? Why are they not?

Did Anne Frank think , no , these Germans are not interested in me, I’ll just pop out to the Amsterdam Cornerstore for a lava lamp to make my loft hideaway more bearable. 

I love the fact that in America there are now marches to defend the people’s right to free assembly and how lockdown is “unconstitutional.”

Lockdown in the UK has been reffered to as Draconian. 

People are concerned about the long term effect on the economy....... so....just how many cases daily deaths make it acceptable for us all to return to our former lifestyles.

We are not in normal circumstances. Yes Americans have the right to assemble in the constitution ..... during the blitz in WW2 you have the right to set fire to your waste in your garden at night as the German bombers flew overhead but I hope that none of your neighbours choose to.

In the UK we have been told that some of us are TOO good at staying in. 

It will be interesting to see how we react when we are told that lockdown is over. Some will run out into the sun to reclaim their lost time.... some will peek out, gently adjusting their eyes to the change and some will not want to stick their heads out at all.

It’s also good to know that several months into this pandemic and with  over 12,000 deaths in the UK

That the Government has put together a corona virus vaccine task force.

This is not the “shall we or shan’t we” invest in salt and gritters when it may or may not be a cold, snowy winter.

You can’t always plan for worst case scenarios.... although someone, somewhere earns big bucks to run theoretical scenarios. Why are we so far behind the curve that rather than flatten it, we have let it climb higher than it should?

Not a lot of those “Keep calm, thrive in Lockdown and carry on” memes.
