Fortunately for us, our kids are older and they were able to help and run errands, but I cannot imagine what it would be like for parents with babies or toddlers, and no family nearby. The crushing fatigue still hasn’t left us almost three weeks after testing positive. In an effort to try and do something fun for half term, my husband took the children out for the day – but it took so much out of him that he then had to spend the next day in bed.
I haven’t relished being part of what feels like a national experiment – the feeling we’re expendable while being expected to contribute to the economy, look after the older generation and raise the next. While the Government dithers yet again, many are suffering. As schools return from the holiday, it’s time for the Government to do the right thing: bring back mask wearing and ramp up the vaccination programme for children.
