I’m hearing that they’re very busy, and I’m also being told the reason why by people who work in a couple of hospitals. I’m not going to state it in here because there’s a polarised view which is highly aggressive and there are already countless threads on the subject elsewhere I could join if I wanted to debate it. I will say though that I am open minded and willing to reserve judgement as I honestly don’t know what the truth is, but when I get accosted in Costa by an old friend who has turned from regular guy in to rabid anti-vaxxer, comparing him and his friends, some of whom work in the NHS apparently, to Jews in WWII and wearing the Star of David I know we’re nowhere near the end of this, covid or no covid.
I have a chum chum who sounds similar to yours. He / they have gone to the lengths of home schooling for kids, and without going into detail it’s a sad story. You’re right, this won’t end soon, maybe even never as it’s always going to be fuelled by wings of extreme news feeds and social media.
As an aside, are you travelling much these days? I didn’t during December but it’s opening up for me next week.
