I want a safe summer. So, yes, a summer with social distancing and mask wearing.
I want a summer where people are back in pubs and shops. But I'm wary of the attitude becoming a collective "the bad thing has gone away" because it hasn't.
Why do we need a summer of distancing and wearing masks?? You do realise the immune system needs fresh air, so why should anyone be out and about with a mask on truly baffles me (but personal choice).
Distancing? yes just like last summer I kept my space but yet by some masked stranger i'm accused of not keeping it and by god it was them that done the wrong and recently visiting one of the local shops I got accused of not keeping my distance but yet had a mask on hmm yeah thats a new one to me!
I want a summer of 2018 where we were able to do as we please not this I am out, whoever said the bad thing has gone away? No one has but it doesn't help however the media basically depressing everyone over the same stuff how about some positivity or do we just put our heads in the sand?
I'm sorry to say this but the media and politicians have a lot to answer for and from what I mentioned above it isn't creating a safe environment its creating a hostile environment - I do stick to the rules regardless but for being accused of something a few weeks back was more than enough for me not to return to that shop (felt angry/upset) but still my feelings don't count either, like I said I wore a mask which I thought was important in the shop even though it was quiet but I got told off for not "social distancing" really? Its pretty stupid and let alone petty! Its no longer adults being grown up its turning adults to be kids with attitudes.
I'll further add but I do believe the tables are about to turn and for me I can't wait for the downfall to happen, people have had enough and I do mean had enough, our media and our politicians who probably thinking they'll get out of this on a free run, I think it'll come crashing down all around them, on a plus side I have seen more than I did first time round and its opened my mind/eyes for the better but hell I don't care as long as karma bites them on their own backsides, they have strung the public along for far too long now and people are waking up to the fact, by the way this alone doesn't just affect Boris but it does affect those in our devolved nations they are caught up in this and the media as I say are playing along with it, either with or for them but either way they'll come down with them.
People are definitely swaying away from this social distancing nonsense over the past few weeks or so. When passing people in the street anyway. From my experiences, I'd say it's about 95% or slightly more that don't bother socially distance now. I mean what's the point of this nonsense, when you're just passing people for barely a nanosecond?!
Face masks are absolutely ridiculous and pointless. They don't do a thing!
The vibe I'm getting when out and about is that the vast majority of people in this country are sick and tired of this social distancing and face mask wearing nonsense that has dragged on for far too long, and are very much looking forward to these restrictions being scrapped and a return to a normal life again.
Bring on 21st June. It absolutely just can't come soon enough! And it's far from just me saying that!
From where I am seems to me pretty much back to normal, apart from the people traffic on buses but it is starting to get a bit busy on some services.
