One of my neighbours was in a hospice bc he was old and had cancer.
He caught covid there.
His funeral is next week.

Dont fucking @ me with this "be nice to Boris" BULLSHIT when they've admitted we should've acted sooner
His adult son is currently living in his old house bc he isn't allowed back to his wife and young kids in case he caught it too and infects them.

Hardly anyone is allowed at the funeral. They aren't even allowed to see the body, it has to stay in a body bag 24/7 until cremation
The whole family is grieving. My neighbours are grieving.

We weren't close with him but he helped us out so many times. He was a genuinely lovely man.

His family can't even say goodbye.
No matter how sick Boris is, he is in no way the only person suffering. Hes nowhere near the most important person suffering to anyone but his own family. Why should I go out and show support for him but not anyone else with the virus? What has he done that's so fucking special?
Oh, that's right, I forgot! He DID do something other people couldn't! He cut funding to the NHS and reduced the number of nurses we have! He promised extra money for the NHS through Brexit and then denied he ever said that!

What a fucking hero /s
As I said the other day, I don't wish for any harm to come to Boris. At the end of the day, he's a human being with people who love him, even if I can't understand why. That doesn't mean I have to be nice about him just because he's sick.
Our government has done more to help in this crisis than Trump has, but that's not difficult so it shouldn't be considered praise.

We didn't act quickly enough, people are still socialising and refusing to give other people space, and people have died and will die because of it.
