Back to my pessimistic self


Judging by the behaviour I’ve been seeing among most of my fellow Suffolk residents so far this week, I reckon it’ll be mid-May at the latest before we’re back up to 30,000 new cases of Covid per day and facing the fun of another lockdown.

People are congregating in groups, they’re not wearing masks, they’re not using hand sanitiser, they’re hugging, they’re nipping into each other’s houses. It’s like Covid has suddenly and miraculously become a minor inconvenience rather than a major pandemic that has crippled the world. I know I sound like a moody old bastard and I keep harping on about the same old things, but I’m enjoying the prospect of a Spring and Summer where I get to regularly see all my family and friends and I don’t want that scuppered by other people who are too stupid or too selfish to be careful.
