In 12 years of writing, I continue to write the facts, the universal truths... and I have never steered off doing that.
Below is a reply from a response on my website from Lisa that validates one of my recent blogs on Covid-19. It is always helpful to get validation on what I write.
Website response
“I’m one of those people who have just caught the virus for the first time. I work in a primary school, where it was inevitable, as the government removed the protections last month.
I’m really angry that I’ve been forcibly infected (the way I see it) and the children I work with are already on their 3rd or 4th infections (again, forcibly infected).
When I return to work, I will be masked because I do not want this again and as CV, cannot risk the repeated damage this virus will do to my body. In fact, nobody, whether they have pre-existing health conditions, or not, should risk repeated infections for this reason.
I’m now food shopping on click and collect again, as so many people are unmasked now in shops. And avoiding other shops generally, apart from the pharmacy.
This is all only serving to divide people now, into those who don’t care and lead their lives as normal, and those (like us) who feel unable to do normal things because others don’t care, and don’t mask, or attend work when, they’re positive.
No matter where you are, whether you have had Covid, whether you understand Covid implications, scientists are working on finding a cure, but it is untreatable right now."
The pandemic is winning
No matter which side you’re on, there’s one thing for sure, the pandemic is winning. It doesn’t care whose life it has touched, or whether it’s going to continue to touch more lives in the future.
My life is completely changed (like thousands of other vulnerable and clinically vulnerable people's lives) because I am high risk. I am home because restrictions have been lifted.
The UK Government is to blame
The UK government is the reason I am home and like other high risk and vulnerable people, also in this position, we used to have a life. Around the vaccine, many of you who were vaccinated early on, will not be protected now because the vaccine efficacy will have worn off, leaving you once again exposed to the virus.
The pandemic shut down
Before the pandemic was shut down by the UK government, there was word about a new better formulated vaccine, what will happen to that? As Lisa has pointed out schools are struggling. They are continually being exposed, as are teachers, teaching your children. Children have died from the virus and they're getting sick.
Ignoring the facts doesn’t mean those facts go away
Ignoring something, doesn’t mean that something doesn’t exist, or it goes away. Lisa’s response rings true. Where the UK government doesn’t care, the wider population need to care and look out for each other.
I used to have a life before Covid. Now my life revolves around my writing. I have no life. But no matter which side you’re on, the facts remain. Universal truths don’t stop being universal truths because they’re ignored. We ignore them at our cost.
Getting caught out
You can still get caught out and catch Covid. You can still get ill or chronically ill. In worst case scenarios, you can lose your life. The latest Omicron variant and being told it is mild by Government scientists, isn’t corroborated by the independents, as confirmed by WHO (Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk)
We should continue to protect each other
But no matter whose side you're on, we should all agree that we need protecting. With the precautionary measures, we can all stay safe. All the issues I write about on my blog are to do with mental and emotional health. Covid-19 is exactly the time to make mental health a priority and emerse in one of my books.

Yes, the reality is that I just started having a life, but Covid changed everything. People are pretending the virus is going to go away, but it isn't.
The ones who are suffering the most are the ones who can least afford to get it, but people don't seem to really care. As always, if everyone worked together and did the right thing,the virus could have dissipated to something resembling manageable.
I am hoping moving forward people will start to do the right thing, before the next variant comes along,
I hope so too Randy. It takes me a while to connect with situations, but once I was able to connect with the pandemic, it was plain to see, the politicians are not getting this right.
I wouldn't like to say what society and/or the world is heading for, but unless we pull back and start taking the pandemic seriously, it is us who will continue to pay the cost of ignoring what is the obvious.
We shouldn't be ignoring the science, when the independents are asking us not to. This is why I continue to write about it on my blog. I hope that my writing, I am able to get the different messages across.
Whilst we want our lives back, we can do that with caution and still continue to be mindful. You can still get into your life with a mask.
The writer of your website response is completely spot on, clearly articulating our high level of unease as Covid restrictions are being lifted. This pandemic is traumatic for many of us.
Frankly, I still get nervous when I walk into a grocery store where 98% of the people are maskless. The first thought that comes to my mind is contamination.
You should see me sprinting through the isles, dodging folks who are in denial about a virus that's still with us, continuously changing and possibly mutating.
Our failure as a society to collectively take common sense measures to defeat this virus is profoundly disappointing.
And yes, we ignore Covid at our peril.
Thanks Tim. I agree. Your words 'And yes, we ignore Covid at our peril' is still ringing in my ears. It's happening now before our very eyes.
Although it would have been difficult for any serving politician to understand how to deal with a world pandemic, in the UK the PM caring should be at the top of his priority list.
Mistakes were made from the beginning. Now choosing to shut down the pandemic as if it no longer exists, is yet another blunder.
Thank god for you. You are sensible. It's staggering that society is putting itself first. We should be thinking about the pandemic first. Support should be in place for those who need it. I am lucky my disability is mild.
Mask wearing should still compulsory. You should feel protected going into shops, walking down isles. While you're struggling to comfortably do that, I shop from home; but that didn't come without a fight.
Where I am vulnerable, the masking-up measures should be in place to protect me, everyone in fact, so that we can go about our life comfortably without the threat of catching Covid.
