My father died due to somebody else believing the same, ignoring the guidelines, and spreading Covid to him.
So kindly shut the fuck up, yeah?
My grandpa also died. Stage four lung cancer, but he spent the last year of his life locked up in a nursing home. Funnily enough, he had his first shot, but not the second.
I’m sorry your grandpa died, and it was heartbreaking that some people died apart from their families. I believe they changed the restrictions in the UK to allow terminal patients to have visitors by 2021. But if they hadn’t restricted visits to hospitals and nursing homes, so many more elderly and ill people would have died from covid - and not just the people who opted to take the risk and see their family. It was an awful time for everyone whether you died or lost someone, had to shield, missed crucial time at school, lost your job or your business, had to continue to work on the front lines, or even just had to follow the lockdown rules. But I don’t think any of the precautions taken at the time were done so lightly or heavy-handedly considering the uncertainty at the time.
