This has been one of the hardest days of covering this crisis, for several reasons. The scale of the political row is actually pretty stressful: trying to put it in context and provide all perspectives is so hard (not fishing for thanks btw - it’s my job. But it’s all so grim)
Everyone I know is so tired and increasingly anxious. I know that’ll be the case in other places too (not just in the northern places teetering on tier 3 - but especially here).
Christmas markets cancelled, bonfire night cancelled, pubs there or thereabouts. It’s not that we all want to go out on benders (apart from those of us that do). It’s the sense that the net is closing in after being unable to visit each other for two and a half months.
None of this is intended to say ‘this is what they should or shouldn’t be doing’. It’s just that it’s the reality, and it all feels pretty bleak.

Anyway that’s all v miserable isn’t it. I’m going to get back to writing about hospital admissions again, then have burgers for tea, which will hopefully be a good distraction.
