I know we all know & maybe we& #39;re all just too tired to face it, but asking so many people to stop seeing the people they love is a huge thing - & yet it feels like we& #39;re not even bothering to talk about / note how many people are being asked to endure that

Face-to-face contact makes a massive difference but seeing people out outdoors just isn& #39;t possible in lots of circumstances & will get harder as the nights draw in and winter wears on.

Of course it matters what happens to businesses, but the reason so many of us love the pub / eating out etc is because it& #39;s where we spend time with the people we love.. so as well as supporting the businesses who are impacted..

Alongside announcements like today& #39;s we need more support for the organisations helping with social connection, those working to close the digital divide & help people stay connected, & those helping people cope with the emotional toll of separation
