We could discuss round the block on this.
People are also dying in large numbers and nothing to do with the virus, but as an indirect result of it.
It is simply that we are all in a completely horrendous situation and there is no easy way out of it.
Folk stuck at home for months on end and not able to travel set against the other half of the nation who are working flat out without much time off for months on end, so two extremes and each with their own potential mental health problems.
Staying at home
is a small sacrifice, for those who are able - and willing.
But there are many more who are out there doing vital jobs (not always medical) through no choice of their own (and often with minimum protection).
A large number of them will not be eligible for the jabs either, not until way down the line, if ever.
It's a perfect storm out there and we just have to try and stop fretting and worrying and blaming other people.
The virus is what it is - a virus, and it will take no notice of us humans other than as a hosts for its progress.
Be thankful that we are still here, alive, with a dry roof over our heads and food in our bellies - and have the technology to be able to still talk and see each other over the ether to keep us at least a little sane!
Requirements really are as basic as that right now. ❤
