I am having difficulty living with the knowledge that several of my friends and relative are working on the front line and living away from their loved ones because they are desperate to protect us. I have already lost 3 friends to the virus and and have 2 more in hospital. One of them is now in ICU.

This blog just about sums up most of my thoughts over the last few weeks and the following is a prime example.
Quote:
The worst of all is the daily press briefings. We listen to some of the best minds in the country explaining to us what is being done and why only to have a series of ignorant childish questions from journalists trying to score political points and trip up a minister. No wonder most of us switch off when we get to that point.
I have found despair washing over me at the level of stupidity shown by some people, the shear sensationalism that seems to be driving most journalists and that people seem to revel in their perceived negativity of how Covid-19 has been managed.

I have no problem with discussions what I do have a problem with is the kangaroo court attitude that I see being shown by people who I thought better of. People who would rather argue over small issues , over and over again, trying to convince others they have some 'inside information' or are so more intelligent than any of the actual experts.
