I received a letter from the NHS & council telling me I had to shield with immediate effect. I'm CEV with a lung condition, which meant that if I got covid I'd likely cark it.

I didn't have a garden to sit in & we had to have food parcels delivered (until slots were online).

Instructions were to avoid my OH. I mean ffs, he needed to be in one room and I had to be in another. This later changed when he got his first vaccine.

I had to teach in the living room which had become his 'bedroom', as I couldn't fit my desk into my room.

My relationship was suffering but thankfully I got such a lot of support from my OH.

In November 2020 I became a Nana for the first time. I couldn't see my Granddaughter, hold her or my daughter. I felt bereft and I'm convinced this impacted further on my MH.

Twitter put things into perspective for me. I saw horrendous stories of loved ones becoming seriously ill, alone. Dying alone, being buried alone.

I still to this day feel guilty about being so focused on my own situation, I was lucky...I lost no-one during the pandemic

And then the fùcking Tories not following their own guidance.

The protective ring around care homes failed. PPE not provided for those dealing with patients. The obscene amount of money spaffed up the wall on a failed T&T system...I could go on but it's making my piss boil

And then you've got Hancock in the jungle here, with his faux tears and his whiny voice begging for forgiveness.

On behalf of those who lost someone or were adversely affected by decisions made by him & the rest of the cabal, I say this...

Fck the entire fck off please 👊🏼
