The scenes prior to moving to Tier 3 in Liverpool illustrated why this virus is spreading.

Crowds of people, no masks in sight and young people thinking they are invincible.

No doubt some went home and hugged their granny!

We are all suffering with the effects of restrictions but what other way could it be contained?

The government hasen’t always got it right but who among us would be in their shoes?

The virus does not respect anyone and will move in suddenly so that there is little time to decide what to do next.

Some of us feel we are being dictated to but my feeling is we all need to work together here instead of taking umbrage every time the virus, not the government, restricts our freedom.
