Weird? Pretty much.
PilgrimDan:
Not yet. I promise to get around to it. :P
In other news, I have new glasses. The old ones practically had dirt ground into the lenses.
Dina:
Hello again!
I know what you mean and I am glad you have new glasses! So, are you liking how you see life now?
PilgrimDan:
The new glasses are very well.
But life has effectively ground to a halt because my government has lost its mind in its overreaction to a respiratory ailment. 4000 British medical experts have written to the government to that effect. Following the rules is like playing Calvinball, they change so rapidly and unpredictably. 110,000 people have had to wait for over a year to get treatment because the NHS has been preserved in amber so “it’s not overwhelmed”. Professor Karel Sikora, Oncologist at the University of Manchester, predicts between 20,000 - 50,000 excess deaths from cancer due to this hyper focus.
COVID-19 is a blip. The long term consequences of the overreaction will not be. Especially the psychological ones.
Dina:
Oh I completely disagree. People is dying like flies from Covid and still they want to go for a beer or a coffee. My city has allowed bars to be open and have people in the tables (luckily, outside so far) and I am very worried for that. There are plans to go back to school and the number of cases keep raising. I feel like many people has stopped caring.

Almost done reading BG. In the home stretch now. Gotta say, so far only thing happened I didn't see coming. The rest I kind of already predicted and was proven right. Sometimes I hate it when I'm right -_- . This has been quite the Rollercoster ride though -_- .
As for the Whole Covid thing, I have to agree with PD on this. You see, my countries burning, both literally and metaphorically. Hundreds of Thousands in not millions of people are with out jobs or homes right now. They're ability to do anything is extremely limited, what with most everything shut down/permantly closed. Instead of helping the people that are in desperate need, my governments to busy fighting over which brain dead fucking moron gets to be King, and Winter is coming, which means a .ot of people are going to Starve/Freeze to Death. A lot more people then this fucking Virus has even killed in my country.
The long term ramifications from this, are going to be the real nightmare, and the people who should care. Who should be doing something. Who claim ownership of the people they're supposed to protect, are literally sitting on they're fucking hands, and doing nothing. This Virus, is nothing, compared to that.
