I would be more charitable and call it '
unwisely and hopelessly optimistic'!
The new variant of the virus made it impossible for Boris to carry on with his '
Merry Little Christmas' idea, but it really wasn't sensible to come up with the special 5-day Christmas rules in the first place.
I think it would take a few really well-known people (including several under 30) to die from Covid-19 before
everybody really started to take it seriously. If Trump had died, that might have focussed a few minds in the USA. Actually, his supporters would probably then have said that the virus hadn't got him, he'd been poisoned!
Apparently, social media nuts are now saying that
footage of vaccinations is all faked.
Right... time for some last minute Amazon Christmas shopping!
