I am quite worried about the implications of Boris Johnson ending all Covid restrictions at the end of this month. Since mask wearing has become “voluntary” we have noticed on the few occasions we have been out shopping that fewer and fewer people are bothering to wear a mask and we have also experienced some “scathing” looks and comments because we continue to wear our masks. I almost feel like wearing a sign saying “ My husband has cancer we are trying to protect him!!!”.
And now people will no longer have to isolate if they test positive I feel even more like hiding indoors is the only way to remain safe. I know we have to move forward but feel it’s too much too soon (even experts are saying it’s probably too soon to end isolation for those who test positive) and although you would hope people will act with care and sensitivity towards those for whom this is still a huge threat it is likely that a significant proportion of people won’t even think about , let alone care about, those who are still very vulnerable.
Am I alone in my worries or do others living with or caring for someone with cancer also feel scared?
