I think it’s fair to say throughout this pandemic there has been a lot of instances where we’ve been told something in order to produce a predefined reaction
I’m thinking specifically about the mysteriously released details of further restrictions - these always seemed to me to just be to ‘soften us up’ as, when they were officially announced, we’d all got our heads round them even if we didn’t like them
I wonder now if all this talk of schools not going back until after Easter and hospitality not opening until after that is more of the same
Is it over exaggeration to get us to do all we can to slow the spread as most of us don’t want restrictions to last that long?
The numbers seem to be dropping off pretty quickly now so restrictions still being in place more than 2 months down the line seems extreme
