Listening to Radio 4 this morning the "thought for the day" speaker was saying that people are craving certainty. And there is none and that's causing a great deal of distress. I agree with him.
Having hopes constantly dashed is exhausting. We were given hope that September would be the key to the way back to normality but here we are back in lockdown. Hopes for family Christmases were dashed.
I honestly think I could deal with it better if they said it will be a year before the clinically vulnerable (me) should consider leaving their homes other than in an emergency. It's very likely that schools may not open fully until Easter or even later but Gav gives false hope. If you know where you are it's easier to cope.
The constant hope of better times is so dispiriting when they can't happen. And I do understand why they can't happen. The scientists have been honest with us the politicians haven't. Johnson and pals keep giving us false hope - when even they know the truth. But he's afraid of his back benchers and party donors so eases up too quickly and plunges us back into lockdown.
AIBU to think the constant false hope and uncertainty is causing more distress than the actual lockdown?
