Why are we planning to go back to “normal” anyway? RESPECT
We were told one thing but it turns out it was not true. So was it 1500 deaths in one day in the UK from Covid-19? Was it over 1000 deaths 22 days in a row? What, instead of 909, 800? Who knows? Does one human life matter to the powers that be?
Health Manager: “Yes Sir, 1425 people died today”
Minister: “What did you say? Around 900?”
Health Manager: “Er, no Sir, 1425”
Minister: “Could you round it down please?”
Health Manager: “Er…down?”
Minister: “Yes please! Oh never mind, let’s go for 900 today, thanks!”
So, how exactly did it play out? Grandparents, fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, friends…I mean, if you are not going to be honest in the first place we might as well guess the scenarios.
It’s not a mistake of policy or organisation. It’s disrespect of the virus and disrespect of the people. In short a lack of “respect”. This is what’s on my mind in this post.
Attitude
I’ve feel learnt a lot in the last few months about attitude, especially my own as well as others through observation, listening and also what the future will hold.
