The point was made by Novara media that, with an imminent vaccine, opening everything up, briefly, for sentimental reasons is a pointless risk. Why not maintain the restrictions for a little while longer and save Granny so she can have a vaccine? The Tories pretend to care about wellbeing, but again are either too short sighted to care, or to selfish.
Or both: it is of course about the profits. They want those sweet Shite Christmas dollars. This is the busiest time of the year for retail, we know what that means. This is a dangerous time and in response, once again, our government looks set to fail us. The covid plans seem to allow for spectating at sporting events even in the highest tier of the system. The rule of six returns, increasingly sounding like something from Mordor. Six there are, on the fingers of men. From six different households, one disease to bind them.
Did I really say that.
The Guardian is reporting early indications that the situation in Wales is perhaps on the rise again. It just seems we are past the point of control now.
608 dead today. Highest since May - a statement we've heard a lot over the last month. Yet they still want to allow Christmas to be celebrated as if we were virus free. One thing that's brewing in my veins: a cold and lingering hatred of the Tories. I've always despised them, but this is now tangible.
So essentially folk can form Christmas Bubbles (for fuck's sake) of unlimited size but up to three households (er?) during four from 23rd December.
Travel between tiers and across the country during this period is allowed because of course it is.
Bubbles can't change; this won't matter as all of this will be ignored and abused and of course not policed. It is an open license for the spread of this virus simply for sentimental reasons - and for what? A vaccine is potentially imminent, maybe even during December. Why the fuck jeopardise this all?
Yes I sound cold, I am cold; the heating's not on dammit! But seriously, I don't get this. It's abundantly clear, from everything so far, that the more convoluted or complex the rules (as evidenced by the need to make exemptions for profiteering) the more the potential for spread and exploitation (and thus spread).
They've essentially turned Britain into a terrible viral pick'n'mix - although given how people handled the displays back in the days of Woolworths (the Age of Myth and Magic) they were probably just as contagious.
