Someone sent me the above paper and I'm now so confused and tbh angry.
If we already had this information in September then
A) Can it really be that much of a big deal B) Why is Hancock saying he only found out about it last week
C) Why are they "cancelling Christmas" on the basis they didn't know this a month ago.
I am losing more and more faith in our government every day and it is scaring me now.
Why are they saying this is new? Are the rising cases not enough to bring in restrictions on their own? What is going on?
I'm in tier 4 and don't know whether I'm crying through anger or despair anymore.
