The problem with those who implemented the #lockdown breaking it, is that it shows a profound ignorance of what the rest of us have endured over the past few weeks, which is something I have been worried about for a while now...

...it is very clear that, for obvious reasons, those managing the crisis are not in lockdown, but that means that they are also not sharing our experience of sadness, loneliness, grief, confusion & just the simple pain of not being able to see your own family...

...when I hear about people visiting elderly parents, what I wonder is ‘how dangerous is it really then?’ I am assuming they don’t actually want to harm their families, so how dangerous would it really be to visit mine?...

....the problem is that we, as the public, are simply not told what the real risks are, or what the ‘real’ plan is - that is only the preserve of a privileged few...

....for example, I can’t be the only person who has realised that, if we want to know when the slightly Kafka-esque travel quarantine will be lifted, the best thing to do would be to see who in the Cabinet has booked foreign holidays, and when they are scheduled to start...

...what matters is not any of these details, but the feeling that, at a moment of such great crisis, there is no real sense of strategy and planning; only tactics that even those leading the implementation either don’t believe in or understand...

....I have, honestly, never felt sadder about where we are - I just think that we deserved better leadership than this.
