[Margaret Pilkington]

Children were not thought to be susceptible to the virus....and there is no record of the virus being passed on by children....this is what the scientists tell us.
The virus was considered to be something that affected those with medical problems, the obese and those over 80.
That said, it does not excuse them for disregarding the guidelines....but then the guidelines seemed to be a movable feast...they were confusing for many....yes they knew about social distancing and hand washing.....but the masks.....in March we were told that masks did not protect....then the government went into mask production and lo and behold masks were now mandatory.
There is and has been a lack of consistency, there has been a Covid overload, this means that people stop listening.....and if rules seem nonsensical (which they are.....and have been flouted by those who were advising us) then there is a very good chance they will be disregarded.

There is no way that I will do what I did for the first lockdown...I am going to continue to take all the precautions I have taken this far, but if I want to go to the shop, then that is what I will do.....I will not stop supporting my family....if they need me then I will go into their home.
I have not been on a bus since the beginning of March, not had a haircut, I don’t go to the pub...or out for a meal.
Yoga has been cancelled since March.

That this lockdown may not be lifted on Dec 2.....in spite of the fact that Whitty and Vallance stats have been proved to be bogus is a travesty.
