Bill Harvey: Give a little bit

How many more news interviews can you bear where someone, having looked at the many, sometimes less than clear, guidelines, has asked ‘why can’t I play golf?’ or ‘what is meant by local?’ or ‘can I drive to a local footpath’ or ‘do I need to wear my mask outdoors?’ You only have to look at the high streets and main roads to see how many people are out and about. Whether this is a breach of guidelines or not is, surely, not the point. There is a highly infectious virus that has caused the greatest increase in deaths since the war. Stuff the rules; stay away from others unless seeking or offering care services. The vaccines are coming.
