My wife and I are wearing masks when we go out. Hand hygiene is second nature to me,being in the food game. It isn’t difficult. One of my more senior customers bitched and moaned every time he had to queue,and about wearing a mask. Yesterday he was back wearing one,and it turns out that his wife is seriously ill with Covid.
And therein lies the problem. We and our leaders don't and won't shut the stable door till the horse has bolted. We will always have stubborn , slow learners, quick to forget. And some of them will die.
As a society, we are tired, fed up of restrictions. We can see the S hitting TF and it is indeed a slow motion car crash. But all that's going to happen will be a societal split. Half of us being blase and half of us being defensive. It will just drag on, with half baked countermeasures.... Till the next global crisis grabs the headlines.
Graceful Degradation! Prepping's objective summed up in two words. Turning Disaster into Mild Inconvenience by the power of fore-thought

From what I've just seen most health authority leaders have written to the top brass saying pull your finger out .
I phoned 999 for someone with Hart problems 2hr15mins later amberlance turns up and tells him if his lucky he will go straight in to a+e .
Most have been waiting for a long time .
Worcester hospital is full with a one out one in system.

It's time for action not words.
Similar recent experience. Elderly family member had a stroke. Took > 2.5 hours to get an ambulance and once in hospital, no actual treatment. Just a brain scan 6 hours later.
Hence my anger at any that don't defend our NHS from Covid over running our resources.
Let's not tolerate Covid. Let's not tolerate laxity. We've done prepping. Now let's do ACTION. JFDI

6 lads from my company are off with it. Thankfully they’re on a different job to me as I still take care but they don’t. One of them(unjabbed) is rather bad with it
I’m sure we have all seen the latest news. I feel we are being led into another lockdown of some sort. It will be a rushed news conference and then bam! Back into lockdown! Counties closing borders and red lists back again! It’s happening all over again!
Then again is the government just being careful and reactive as they haven’t in the past?
It’s real. I don’t want to get ill so I ( we) have worn masks and socially distanced since we didn’t have to! My take; hospitality is exempt. So no lockdown.For now.
In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on.

Covid 19: After that level of weirdness ,any situation is certainly possible.
