Honestly, living in Scotland feels like such a slog at times just now. The insistence on stricter measures than England at every turn strikes me as politics. I accepted them at the start of the pandemic, but it’s been done far too many times now.
A lot of people will disregard this ‘appeal/guidance/plea’ to restrict household mixing to 3. These things have been asked of them one too many times.
Those in charge of a health system which could be overwhelmed by lack of capacity implying that the spread of the virus is due to ordinary members of the public and their desire to socialise, is manipulative in the extreme. I sometimes feel like I’m the only person who sees this.
You most certainly are not. I'm not alone in thinking this either and I've noticed more and more of my social circle is coming round to this mindset too.
It's not the public who have mismanaged the NHS for years, bloated it with excess management, starved it of funding and set unachievable targets, running doctors and nurses into the ground. If we are 2 years into a pandemic and the health service still can't cope then The fault lies with the ones running it, not the ones trying to rely on it for healthcare needs which are once again going ignored because of Covid. This is aimed at the whole of the UK and not just Scotland.
