Staying Safe

Sweden are leading the charge. Protect the elderly and vulnerable while the rest get on with a slightly modified existence, masks and social distance!

Where are all my 'Covid' friends?

Still hiding behind masks,

still walking on the other side of the street,

still self isolating?

 

Why I ask myself,

why?

 

We are all destined to die

and die we will.

 

So is it worth destroying

society

and our children's future security

for a few more months

here on earth?

Yes, we must be safe. But we are still alive. I took my grandchildren to the beach and mini-golf almost everyday in the Summer. People can be extreme. We can talk still and if you are sick. Just stay home and heal-up. I had the Covid-19. My daughter is a nurse, had it twice and I took care of her with my natural cures. I got it from taking care of my daughter. We can still do almost everything. Just keep safe distance and be safe. Hello John. I enjoyed your thoughts. I am a overnight Pharmacy manager. I wear a mask and I keep my distance. I hope for the old days. Poor grandchildren need to have some fun.

I agree and we must not ruin their future or cause the deaths of those who go untreated with cancer and heart disease or fall into poverty! Many thanks Coyote John.

You are welcome John.

One way of looking at it. So the sick, the vulnerable and elderly are isolated from family and friends and die from loneliness and suffer mental health problems. A hell for them on earth while everyone else enjoys life. Interesting John. That doesn't strike me as a caring society.

Well we have tried everyone being scared and isolated, gaining weight and more health problems from inactivity and overeating, people dying from untreated cancer, strokes and DVTs, people closing businesses, job losses and many more to come, getting into mountains of debt, losing their homes, relying on food banks. The fall out from all that will last for a generation. WE need the herd immunity to build. This year there is the potential for more flu deaths than normal because isolating reduces the effectiveness of the immune system. The majority of 'unexpected' deaths took place in the first wave so the chances are that people left behind will have more ability to cope with the virus. Just saying Chris.

There are so many different view points on this. If everyone cared a little and took notice of social distancing until a vaccine is available it would help. Some young people seem to have a problem with that. Having said that total lockdown is not the answer. Punish the areas who don't practice social distancing. Waiting to hear what Boris has got planned for us. Sorry John, forgot my manners. Good beautiful morning to you.
