I have a customer who owns an upmarket coffee bar in Preston. She is a truly admirable, lovely woman who was struck with COVID-19 in February and survived it. She had a life threatening blood clot/thrombosis in March and was diagnosed with cancer in April.
She is currently undergoing radiation chemotherapy, has continually paid her staff, did not receive any Government financial help and says another "needless" lockdown will finally kill her business and in all probability her too.
Blow Job and his cabal of cretins do not give a flying phuck about anyone or anything north of Watford. The Postcode Lottery will protect the south of England and obliterate the north. On the optimistic side the "Red Wall" will crumble and a new socialist dawn will break.
Meanwhile, I just hope my friend in Preston can survive the deliberate trashing of northerner's lives.
Hancock says meeting your GP face to face is now a thing of the past, phone appointments only unless it's absolutely crucial to see your GP. I got lumbered with this new normal last week, it involved three phone calls, only one of which was with the doctor, I won't bore with the details but I'm going to have to ring again tomorrow, I'm on a course of medication, but I'm not sure I should still be on it. It's a confusion that would never have arisen with a face to face chat with the doctor, but god help us if this is the future. Ten years at this Health Centre, it's usually excellent, neither me or Mrs S has ever had a problem or complaint in all that time. One phone appointment and chaos reigns.
Never mind, just keep wearing the masks.
The latest on the grapevine is that the elderly are going to have to stop in whilst the young can roam about doing what they want to do whilst spreading the coved.. Insane this government
Everyone was warned about the pandemic last year. I fail to see what politics has do with it....some people refused to follow the simple advice, wear a face mask to avoid spreading the virus. It may be their choice, but if they are inflected then it's a stupid and selfish choice....in my opinion.
