You’ve hit the nail on the head there
@NathanG . They say “we’re all in this together” but the people making these decisions, politicians and senior civil servants of all creeds, won’t be effected by the policies they are setting. They won’t have to worry about their next pay packet, and their generous pension payments will continue unaffected.
By all means be vigilant, but let’s get back to allowing individuals to decide if places or events are safe to attend, rather than hanging on every word of these despots. There’s the distinct possibility Covid, or variations of it, will never completely go away, either we take responsibility for our own decisions, and adjust to life with it being around, or we blindly follow our gormless masters for the foreseeable. If we choose the latter, no questions asked, I'm afraid the places and things we most enjoy won’t be around.
