I’m just angry now

They knew a vaccine would be the only way of getting us out of this mess. The country has already been locked down twice. Why, why, why didn’t they use this time to set up the logistics of distributing and administering these vaccines?

Why, why, why are the government allowed to decide who to prioritise to receive these vaccines when they were always going to distribute in a way that benefits them. Surely any government with an ounce of realism would be self aware enough to realise that they would make this vaccine distribution a political decision and instead allow the decision to be made by an independent third party who can distribute it in a way that would allow the country to get back to work. Instead it’s likely that months and months down the line we’ll all be forced to go back to work despite still be unprotected.

I have visions of pensioners being able to swan off on holiday over the summer while the workers of the country will still be unable to.

It’s an absolute fucking farce. Watching that press conference last night just finally made it snap for me - they genuinely don’t know what they’re doing at all

@pam290358 but its about the nhs being overwhelmed so they are vaccinating those most likely to be admitted and need care ,why are people still questioning the medical people on this as thats who will advise and I think practically every other country is adopting a similar approach - are they all wrong

Should I leave a WhatsApp group because some of the people on it are so negative about my situation and just don’t get it?! I’m a single parent with three children all under age 12 also victim of domestic violence so have had a torrid time of the last few years due to my partner (childhood sweetheart) problems and issues and having social service and police involvement. Last lockdown I was shut up at home with my three kids without a break as I have no support bubble. Due to my mental health problems from the abuse I had a bit of a breakdown by last June. So with social services early help now involved my children were eligible for a school place this time as ‘vulnerable children’. But whilst a couple of friends completely get it others don’t seem to get why I need a place even though they were aware I was in a bad place last summer (I’m in my 40s and have also had health scares last year) . Some of them are working from home both parents but fall into key workers list this time around . I find it a bit depressing and upsetting that they’re clamouring for places because of not wanting to work from home and homeschool (which I get. None of us should be having to do this) but they have no understanding for why I can’t care for three children 24/7 without a break on top of health problems. (I have worked since I left school/college but since turning 40 have had various health problems arise). It’s a shame as we were such good friends before all this but am wondering whether to leave the group to avoid any negative remarks that will bring me down.
