I don't know, indefinite lockdown.
It's currently illegal to sit on a park bench.
I'll do it anyway, of course, but it might not be legal.
[redacted] 97 days since it was last legal for me to have a friend over for a cup of tea.
You know in the movies where at some point the psychotic main character thinks "I'm not the crazy one, it must be them"? I flip flop on this every other hour.
However, it didn't have to be this way. The UK practically beat the pandemic over summer, and then snatched defeat from the jaws of victory by persistently ignoring reality. Reopening schools, Eat Out To Help Out, failing to stop international travel - these are the things that led to the current situation.
Get mad, by all means. But place the blame where it belongs. We are doing the right thing now, in order to deal with the idiocy of before.
For me, it's the risk of death and/or a chronic condition, or the certainty of psychosis.
Hourly reminder that it's been almost 100 days since it was last legal for me to have a friend over for a cup of tea.
Best of luck, glad you're holding up well; sorry that I've failed you.
UK having what seems to be the most potent variant of the virus doesn't help, and the island factor either. Try to be strong, and don't let cabin fever tell you otherwise.
