And I’ve actually apparently got it atm, having tested yesterday because my friend whom I see frequently texted to say she’d got it. I have virtually no symptoms and would have been totally unaware had she not let me know. Yes, of course I’m staying in the house for five days, before anyone shouts at me.
However, I realise that it is due to the vaccinations that my symptoms are negligible, and I do not seek to diminish the undoubted tragedies and personal losses etc and am grateful for the protection of the vaccine. But I’m not very good with hyperbole and handwaving and a certain kind of perceived right to interfere ‘for the public good’. It’s a short step from that to victim blaming and the installation of citizen officials to oversee the populace with all that that entails.
