The Coronavirus Diaries Isolation Day 3

This series of posts will be about the coronavirus situation, how it is impacting me here in Scotland and interesting gossip and opinions I'm hearing through our media. I'll be posting as and when I have something to share but I take no responsibility for the accuracy of the news I share or the medical advice and opinion that I mention.

I swear that common sense and decency is deserting people in the UK as the crisis develops. In Kent, it has been reported that six ambulances had holes drilled into their tyres during the night. Now those vehicles cannot attend emergencies. Who does shit like that? What kind of human filth thinks this is funny? It's a disgusting thing and if caught, they should be locked up for the duration of the pandemic and be housed in a jail cell where they are forced to become someone's bitch. Some people online are suggesting that scum like this should be volunteered for human trials of a virus vaccine. In Dundee and Middlesbrough, medics leaving their shifts found their car windows and windscreens shattered. Nice.

In Greater Manchester, a family out for a walk in the park on Sunday afternoon had their seven year old daughter stabbed to death by a stranger with mental health issues. Words just fail me. How can your life just be ended like that on a walk in a park??? An NHS worker has been evicted by his landlady because she fears he might come into contact with the virus. Nice. This paramedic is out saving lives and that is the thanks he gets-evicted by text message. It gets hard not to feel dispirited by some of what I'm hearing. There was a bus driver in London who thinks he has the virus but refuses to stay home to isolate, instead continuing to go to work because he 'needs the money'. He needs to be arrested and locked up, like the idiot tourist who went to Ise of Man and refused to comply with their 14 day isolation rule and got lifted by police. Serves him right.

People continue to flock to areas popular with tourists-Snowdonia in Wales, the Scottish Highlands, the Cornish coast and Lake Distict in England. They are treating it like an extended Bank Holiday weekend instead of following advice to stay home unless the trip is necessary. It is making my blood boil to see rules that could save lives being flouted by selfish asshats. And it isn't just the young snowflake generation. Some pubs are refusing to shut basically until the government gets legislation through to stop them. Ban them from ever opening again! Arrest the flouters and lock them in the inner cabins of cruise ships until the pandemic is over, served three meals a day and no contact with the outside world. That'll teach them.

Feeling pretty grumpy today as I didn't sleep great last night. Not worrying about anything, just restless and a bit sore. It's amazing how tiring it can be to unpack Amazon packages and rip up cardboard boxes for recycling! Our house looks like a chaotic storeroom at the moment though almost everything has arrived now. Just waiting on a box of crisps and some cheesy crackers which are due tomorrow!

Stay safe everyone.
