Covid - news and views

Face masks still required in most indoor areas here in Wales post 17/7.  Noticed local Co op now has a box adjacent to the sanitisers just in case.

Fish, your 1st Minister has shown far more intelligence in his Governments approach to the pandemic than PM Johnson has I’m afraid, the Govt in England is a busted flush, totally untrustworthy. I stopped having faith when when his Govt claimed enough PPE whilst the news stations were showing NHS staff with tears in their eyes shattered telling us they were washing disposable PPE. Shameful☹️😞

Oh the irony. The three most powerful politicians in England will be isolating on the day they have decided its safe to re open and pass the buck onto employers, service providers and the public in general. Fastest U turn yet, apparently they were going to be some little pilot scheme to allow special people the right to not have to self isolate. 🤷‍♀️

It was not as if those two powerful politicians had been pinged for being thrice removed from a positive but were actually in the same room as him. A case of "do as we say not as we do".  Any wonder the public have given up on restrictions.

I expect next week will reveal how people are going to respond to the new found freedom in England. Our village is virtually shut down due to local outbreaks so I guess a few lessons have been learnt here! Maybe I'll be able to get my prescription tomorrow, finding the pharmacy suddenly shut wasn't a good experience.

Just seen this on Twitter:— “Honestly I’m trying to think back. Has anyone ever known such chaos?  It’s ……. scary.” 

Just watched the CEO of Ibiza  Rocks moaning and groaning that the UK government is ruining his business, do i care if it helps to keep us safe, let me think about that , he should look carefully at the news report and ask himself why covid is spreading at an alarming rate within Ibiza  

I was quite happy for the experiment as it is intended that fully vaccinated will not need to isolate after mid August in England.

Being fully vaccinated doesn’t prevent you catching Covid. Our son had his second jab a month ago and tested positive last Tuesday. 

His biggest gripe is not being able to smell or taste his bacon sandwich.
