Back into Lockdown

 

And so here we are again, going back into lockdown. Its not really a surprise with the way things have been going, even if it is a little disappointing. The hard part of all this is not knowing when and if things will ever go back to normal, that the worry over COVID will ever go away. But besides that, I’m surprised with my own reaction to this latest news. It is what it is, and we can get through it, much like we did the last one. But people do need to stick to the rules, that’s the whole basis of this.

 

Yes of course I’m sad that some of the plans I had in place either will have to wait or can’t happen, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little disappointed. Just when it felt like some normality was starting to creep back into our lives. But it’s a month, at least we have been told an end date. We can only just hope that it will be that long, for the sake of the economy as well as the mental health of all of us, and the health generally of so many. And I would rather everyone I love stays healthy than lose other people by others rash and selfish behaviour. And coming up to Christmas, it will be even more important for people just to be together if they can.  So for now, I am calm about it all, will do what I have to do and hope, just hope, that this will be the break that could help this horrible situation for all of us get back on some kind of even keel.

 

It’s a worrying time whatever situation you are in, that the cases seem to keep rising and our NHS, working like absolute heroes, are struggling to cope and will be at breaking point again, if they aren’t already, if something doesn’t change. I’m not giving any political view on this, I don’t feel I have enough knowledge to give an informed opinion. But I just think we need to look out for one another, those we know, as well as those we don’t and do what is asked of us, without moaning about it. Yes, it may not be ideal to have to wear a mask, but just do it. Isn’t it better to keep yourself safe as well as those around you? I just feel that if people didn’t keep breaking the rules, then maybe, and only maybe, we would be in a slightly better position  now. But we are where we are, and if we can just look out for each other, then we will come out the other side.
