Hes there a week and will be for another 2 or 3 weeks. On oxygen but being reduced daily now. Will need physio after it all to. Only 55 years old

My sister is back from the US now as it could maybe the last time she sees her alive. Selfish ? Probably. Care ? Nah. My Mum would rather see her grandkids this Christmas than be hiding away in a ****ing bedroom scared. We went out today, masks on, 4k walk and a trip to Supervalu. And no-one ****ing died.

I know retail is business as usual, is there takeaway pints? Are people allowed to visit each others gardens?? There used to be clear rules, now I have no bloody clue what the hell is allowed. I'm just going to continue keeping myself safe in the way that I have been because that's how I've avoided it so far.

If people are constantly looking for a way around them then it doesn't really matter what gets implemented people will find ways around it or ignore it completely You would think that most behaving with a dash of common sense regardless of what the government imposes everything will be fine. But common sense seems to be a scarce commodity within the government and the general populace. That's a hell of a lot more scarier than Covid.
SpacialNeeds wrote: » Thanks for that "From 1 January: no visitors are permitted in private homes/gardens (except for essential family reasons such as providing care to children, elderly or vulnerable people, or as part of a support bubble)" Nobody allowed in your garden. That's idiotic. I'll meet them in tesco or the gym in that case, much safer. Also are we expected to learn off all the restrictions and requisite dates when they change? A complete shambles.
