What is happening in the UK is a scandal. How can there be such little clarity on something that for some people is a life or death situation.
The government needs to give clear instructions particularly to those at most risk.
Trouble is, the govt can’t give clear instruction to anyone, as we haven’t seen this before, so don’t really much about how this will spread, who is most likely to be hit, how it will affect them etc.we are all dealing with the unknown. Come on, be fair, we are all learning together...even the govt. .....all we can do is listen to the advice, and then interpret that into our own lives. I’m diabetic, but haven’t self isolated, but am retired, and have diabetes. But my precautions are to wash hands often, only use supermarkets who disinfect the trolley handlebars, not bulk buy as its unnecessary, not to mention extremely selfish, and to check that any older people , or those who live alone, that I’m aware of, are being helped if necessary. I’m also monitoring the infection rates, both nationally, and locally, for indications as to how bad things are- like the 600+ jump in victim figures in last 24 hours, and adapt accordingly.
This is a time for understanding, for sharing the burden, and for building strong community networks.
It doesn’t help anyone to be critical of others, as we are all in this together, so try to stay safe, be supportive to those around you, and pray that we are doing all we can to limit the life of this disaster, and look forward to the future beyond the fears.
Things will get better..in time.
