The re-reading of the previous post, has seriously derailed this one.
The pandemic still rages on. However, the reaction and the response has become imbecilic. While initially the response was warranted, they announced the changes without thought to the enforcement of the SOPs, without direction to the implementation of the SOPs and just a general disregard for the livelihood of the nation.
As time wore on, the chain of infection seemed to be under control and certainly, it was low enough that foolishly, we thought it was over. I think what people don't seem to realise is that this virus is never going to go away. It's a virus. A virus is notoriously hard to kill, nigh impossible even. People forget that it took almost 20 years for us to come up with a way to manage HIV. There is still no cure for it. There is no vaccination against it and ironically, the only protection against it is a mask for your dick!
There is no chance of waiting out the virus. It is a question of learning to live with it. It is about being mindful of personal hygiene. It is about eating right and boosting immunity. It is about wearing masks in public. It is about sanitising hands and high touch surfaces. It is about leaving contact tracing information so you can be informed of an infection. That's it. There is no other way around it.
Just Me.
