You might wish to express your view that Covid "doesn't exist " to the families and friends of those who passed away during the pandemic...and to the NHS staff who had to deal with the effects on patients.
I fail to see how a reported rise in infections can be classed as "scaremongering " or inducing fear, or indeed any term which is intended to negate a virus which has not simply disappeared as a result of vaccines being developed to counteract it.
I recently had day op surgery. Before I could even get past the ward admissions desk, I had to have an LFT. After that, included in the "what could go wrong " overview the possibility of contracting Covid was mentioned.
All the medical staff throughout the hospital wore masks but, it was noticeable how many visitors / patients seen walking in the corridors didn't. I am one of a seemingly dwindling number who still, and will continue to, wear one in supermarkets / shops and indeed anywhere that it is prudent to do so.
I find the biggest irony in all this is people like myself who wore masks all the time yet people on TV (TV studios ie presenters) and our politicians didn’t need to wear one but at least they can get away with it whilst I couldn’t. I work in a care setting ( non NHS) but how do you think I felt? I caught COVID and triple vaccinated but over time I have realised and if I’m honest being played.
I remember the clap at 8pm on a Thursday was for NHS only to then include us as we had been excluded, but the way the governments acted they couldn’t give a toss (I’ll say this as a view in Scotland - given £500 (not even that) to be then be whacked back in owing tax back from this is a disgrace), I didn’t want it either it felt like votes/bribery.
As to me for the media perspective they’ll take sides and then throw people under it (seems clear that no one sees this part from me, yet I said this from the outset when this started), oh boy aren’t the chickens coming home to roost now?
One final thing: Long COVID, I mentioned I caught COVID back in summer 2020 - strange for me as I hear this phrase is quite popular for those that caught it most recently to those that had originally got it back in the spring/summer of 2020, I now hear of long COVID from “waves/variants” that were spoken about in media circles, so what about me? I feel like the first ones that caught it are completely under the radar and have been left abandoned by it all but I guess no one cares? (but under the same breath as I just state above the media and the like seem to care about those that got it more recent to those that had it prior), as for myself I can’t even see a doctor to even get a diagnosis let alone trying to find out if I’m autistic since that’s been pushed back prior to COVID (and I am still waiting), so even then I ask where is my support in this? Zero zilch nada!
Just to add I am someone that’s at this stage now I want to get on in life, I know COVID is around but so is the cold and flu but I get on and fight on but I am so tired on how this is being played up by our media and politicians - as I say they come across they “care” but clearly they don’t but all it’s to them is we are just numbers our lives don’t matter to them it’s all about clickbaiting and nothing more, I wish people would see this but clearly people are that gullible to believe that politicians and media care .. they don’t and as I said I am just a number to them - people die all the time and are just number, stop feeding and believing the trolls of our politicians and media!
