Lockdown Fatigue - New Blog Post

-
We're coming towards the end of March and to be frankly honest, I am exhausted. Both physically and mentally. For the last year, I have been working on a much forgotten about frontline service. Everybody thinks about the Healthcare workers when it comes to the frontline, however the fact of the matter is there are many other services that provided for people on the frontline during the last year when they needed it that aren't given the same recognition. Now I am not saying that we should disregard the fine work of healthcare workers in both General and Mental Health services in this country. They have been exemplary in the past year in dealing with the problems that Covid-19 has presented. I'm merely asking people to remember the people who are making this country tick, the civil services, the bank workers, the driving instructors/testers, the driving licence office workers, the people answering queries in phone centre up and down the country and the shop owners and employ

Hello again world from Ireland. Well Monday 18th has come and gone and really there was very little change from the previous Friday. In that the traffic had already increased with people having been venturing out and a couple more places are open which weren't open before. What had been announced and was a welcome announcement from me was that face masks/coverings were recommended for people to use venturing out and doing shopping. And who find themselves in enclosed spaces. As of this moment, I can really see no difference to last week. As I have mentioned in my previous post, I am going to continue to do what I was doing and wear my face mask if I intend on going in to pick up essentials..Garden centres and hardware stores are open which is welcome for a lot of people. Also, business that not many people think of as being essential (but really are in this day and age: IT services, electrical and phone repair shops )  are all back open as well. Also golf courses and tennis courts

Letters from the Irish Lockdown- Letter Four

Hello again world from Ireland. Well the start of the week saw a rather amazing thing happen for the first ime in two months, there was no deaths reported. Again though, as mentioned in my previous post, there have been calls to reduce the 2m rule for social distancing . During the week however I spotted a well known beauty spot populated by revellers and people enjoying the weather with no enforcement of the 2m rule. I would honestly say I would not be surprised if you did see a surge in cases in the area and all over Ireland in the next few days/weeks.   There are also calls to open some hair salons as a lot of people miss the ability to visit them for appointments. Even in the last couple of days coming up to the bank holiday , major beauty spots nearby to me ended up being closed to prevent large gatherings there. This is after a week earlier, the local market had to be closed earlier owing to people not adhering to social distancing guidelines and reopened the next week under
