With lifting restrictions in the UK, I have lost my liberties, because I am vulnerable and high risk, which applies to others in my position also. Dealing with autism is making my confinement worse.
Masking up, staying safe
It is up to any serving government to make sure we can ALL go about our lives safely. Whilst restrictions were in place, I was able to get out, to go into the shops comfortably and safely. While, any serving government would have struggled to get their head around the enormity of a pandemic, it is important the decisions they make, work for everyone.
Thousands of high risk people
There are thousands of people like myself, who are high risk, and who are now locked in their homes. It is important we are allowed to live our lives, so that we can leave our homes safely. The pandemic has been brushed under the carpet, and removing all precautionary measures has become a party decision that works for the economy.
Now I am home. If I manage a walk, I mask up, and if I go to the hairdressers, I mask up and wear a visor and have to ask that my stylist does too.
Lifting restrictions
February 24th 2022, is the day the UK PM lifted restrictions, giving freedom FOR THEM TO DO AS THEY PLEASE, in a world that that has already claimed 5,952,215 deaths (source: who.int).
Even if common sense never prevails, and the UK government continue taking this stance, it is important to use common sense and continue with the physical precautionary measures, because restrictions saves lives, keeps you safe and keeps your loved ones safe.
For those out and about, they can still catch Covid without the physical measures and they can become reinfected. Keeping the mask measure at least, allows those like me at home to adjust into pandemic life, so that we're not permanently stuck at home.
This is a UK government decision fit only for the government's current political agenda, and not in people's best interests. My blogs are factual based. What you're seeing with the UK government are non-truths.
I understand. Yes, it's ridiculous that governments cater to the few and totally ignore what's good for the many. I have been feeling very anxious and annoyed myself, as we have been restricted in our activities thanks to people refusing to do the right thing.
Just because some people are getting tired of wearing masks, doesn't mean that the rest of us should have to suffer for it. It would be good if everyone was on the same page, that way we could all get through the pandemic, easier.
Thanks Randy. I agree and hope that things change for those like me, who need it to change the most.
The virus doesn't care whose lives it touches and the only way we're going to come through the pandemic unscathed, is if we can work and pull together.
Until governments decide to 'do the right thing' it is important to be our 'own eyes and ears.'
I agree with the independents when they say Omicron isn't just mild, long term I believe its lasting effects are here to stay for the foreseeable.
Randy, I completely agree with you. It's a disgrace. We used to be able to go to the shops with a mask on when everyone else wore one, now the majority don't wear them, so we're stuck at home again.
Other than going for a walk we are pretty much house-bound. The removal of all measures in the UK, has led to an exponential increase in daily cases to around 100k, which is double the rate before the rules were dropped.
Not exactly rocket science is it?
Not for you, or anyone who cares enough to know and want to do the right thing. Sadly, you are one of a minority of people.
If we are to see a decrease in the number of daily increases, we all need to be wearing masks, so that we can turn some of those numbers around.
