Did anyone else notice in todays briefing the FM saying that they would need to consider the fairness of reducing restrictions on those who were shielding for 12 weeks?
Whilst I've no wish to go out saying nah nah na nah na to those still required to stay in, you can't surely impose more stringent restrictions than necessary on the vast majority of the population to make it fair can you?
Nothing about this situation is fair, some people have conditions that already mean that they might feel that life isn't fair. Some folk are stuck in flats with small children and no gardens to play in, other folk are staring down the barrel at unemployment, other folks are doing what they like anyway, some kids are playing in the street for hours on end, etc etc etc.
To be honest, I'm not finding things too bad, I can work at home, we are all healthy adults, I don't have elderly relatives to worry about, i'm generally fairly anti-social anyway and i'm perfectly happy with grocery shopping once a week and a quick walk round the estate most days.
My main wish is that by the time my holidays come round (mid June) we'll be allowed to go for a drive and a picnic though a pub lunch would be amazing! Otherwise, I'm okay to keep going for another 3 weeks or more.
I appreciate that others aren't and that everyone has their own unique circumstances. I'd hate to think that everyone else was kept in because of me though.
