Since this lockdown began, I have unfortunately been dealing with my mum and dad both contracting COVID-19. After 2 weeks of suffering at home, they were both taken to hospital where we were not allowed to visit them at all.
Almost 2 months since that happened, and mum has made a full recovery whilst my dad passed away. At no point could we go and see him. On top of this our friends and family couldn't comfort us at all due to social distancing rules even at the 9 person funeral we held.
My girlfriend and I haven't seen each other in more than 2 months. We have consistently complied with the rules set out by our government because we knew it was the right way to stop spreading the infection. At one point I had been home for 26 days in a row, due to self isolation
So that fact that a government official who laid out this plan for the country broke his own rules twice is disgusting. Dominic Cummings taking two trips during lockdown shows his attitude and disdain towards the public, he has also shown it's one rule for us and another for them
The fact that this government has defended him is bullshit. The incompetence and failings has unnecessarily killed thousands of people and their language has been far too vague so they can't be blamed for some of the public's actions. And now this.
I don't think there is a word for how pissed off I am. I hope this government is never elected again.
