Lifting Covid-19 restrictions has been the long awaited green light for citizens who are not particularly bothered about social distancing for the benefit of all.

"Good solid British common sense" gets left behind.

Having packed English beaches, roads outside pubs have become the latest places to congregate with no regard for social distancing.

Easing of the lock-down brings new perils for vulnerable people among us. 

Shielding since March, the thought of venturing out after the lock-down fills them with trepidation. 

Re-uniting families within the rules is being allowed but dangers for vulnerable people are multiplied unnecessarily by the thoughtless behaviour of mainly younger people who ignore the rules.

They make a second wave of Covid-19 infection more likely, risking the lives of others while adding to the burden of the NHS whose 72nd birthday we celebrate today.

  1. I seriously doubt many NHS staff will have either the will or the energy to be celebrating anything today. All those I know are exhausted, disgusted or both.

  2. Reopening bars here in the U.S. seems to have increased the infection rate among younger people. The daily death numbers here in South Carolina have shown an uptick and the State Medical Association has put out a call for retired physicians to sign up to assist the hospitals if needed.
