Extended social distancing

[Rough Hewn]

Looks like we will all have to adapt.

This may go on for a long time.

This was always going to be the long game.

Boris just didn't want to be the one to tell us !

Some restrictions will be lifted but sadly not many in the near future, we have to accept that this virus will trickle thru the population making us all ill, and costing some their life, at some point and all we can do is try to keep it at a trickle and not a flood which would overwhelm the all our infrastructure not just the NHS.

Reliable antibody testing for recovered cases and a vaccine are the main tickets out of this.

BTW,

Bollocks to continued social distancing, the world still needs to turn, and we need to get on with our normal, mostly  productive working and socializing lives.

You serious? That will lead to hundreds of thousand s of our most vulnerable dying prematurely plus plenty of the rest of us.

 

I buy into this old saying "How a society treats its most vulnerable is always the measure of its humanity." Time for us to show our humanity IMO

I was serious actually, with some pragmatic provision around the vunerable and elderly, like my 87 year old mother.

But for some of the longterm incarcerated in care homes, death could well be a blessed relief, though the Covid19 death is not apparently a pleasent one by any account I have come across.

Death is part of life, and assuming we have had our chances, why do we fear it so much?

Losing a child has to be the worst, followed by a lover or long time spouse, a parent, not so much, in the fullness of time.
