Here we go again.

Yesterday's daily infection rate was 51,870 so we're already past the 50,000 predicted by the end of July. The rate is 344.8 per 100,000 but in our area it's over 1,000 per 100,000.

Hospitalised is 4,141 this last week up 43% weekly.

Deaths per week are 277 up 57.4% weekly.

My company has stated from Monday face coverings and social distancing are no longer required by law! But back store we must observe social distancing in canteen with colleagues! Yet I know my colleagues are double vaccinated- I don't know the vaccine status of customers!

I feel upset and angry. Really angry. There I wrote it! Does anyone else feel like anger is almost taboo? Maybe more so as a woman? My husband can't bear it when I express anger. So I'm just quietly fuming about this disgrace of a government who have treated key workers appallingly throughout.

I just talked with someone (son's friend who had covid ) and his parents are pretty uwell with it despite both vaccines. It feels like we're all destined to get it and the government don't care.
