Does anyone know when it is?
With all this new talk of this current lockdown not being enough I just wondered if maybe he’d step up and say something

At what point do you look at the queues of ambulances outside hospitals and read about the lack of oxygen and spiralling death rates and decide you just have to put up wi5 your anxiety for a while....even though that might feel truly awful.

How many of you insisting on keeping your support bubbles live with or have spoken to people who are working in hospitals this week and heard what it’s actually like. It has to become a case of deciding what is the greatest evil...a decision the government will have to take and not an easy one.

There must be a point when the problem is so vast support bubbles for all but a tiny fraction of society cannot be allowed as the cost is too great. The question is where is that tipping point really.

“Put up with your anxiety”. Unbelievable.

I’ve been following the bloody rules since last a March. I do it quietly and just get on with it. But there is no way I’m not having my mum as a bubble. Not for me - my MH would probably be better served by having a bubble with one of my friends and her family. But for my mum who is shielding and struggling.

There is a reason that isolation is used as a form of torture. If you’re truly alone, it can be horrific. I’m lucky, I’m coping with be being on my own and looking after mum when I go over to her place. Lots of people will not cope with total isolation, nor should they be expected to.

I do agree that bubbles are being abused by some, and it annoys the hell out of me, but stripping it away would be wrong.
