Blame the government - because it’s their fault

‪I am so angry right now.

I wish I could talk directly to Alison Tailor, the care worker who was interviewed by BBC News today.

I desperatly want to tell her that any transmission of Covid 19 while she didn’t have symptoms was not her fault.‬
Alison sought testing and was denied,‬ She didn’t have any symptoms so her actions within the context this government created were all entirely rational and responsible and, as she said, had she known Covid 19 she would have isolated.

In her actions and expressed intentions Alison Took the risks and her responsibilities seriously.

‪The government are the ones responsible for those deaths.

Not providing testing for care workers is allowing for, if not deciding on a cull of care service users.

And on top of that the Government has left those care workers feeling guilty, despite the fact they acted reasonably based on the information they had. ‬

The government were the gatekeepers to the information Alison Tailor needed to know that she had to isolate.

She would never have gone to work and infected patients and she wouldn’t have visited her elderly mother, who may well have caught Covid from Alison; maybe her mother wouldn’t have died.

So, not only did this government kill Alison Tailor’s mother, they have left Alison feeling like she killed her own mother.

I will never forgive them for making Alison and many others feel this way

They shouldn’t be feeling guilt, they don’t deserve that, it wasn’t their fault.

Alison would be entirely entitled to feel severely let down, because she was. ‬ ‪

If the governments at least acknowledged their failures and misjudgements, rather than pretending they’ve done a great job, that would at least be recognition of their responsibility.

Government should take back that awful burden they forced on people like Alison Tailor. I just hope that’s not the only thing that will convince her that she didn’t do anything wrong so don’t deserve this guilt and or the feeling of responsibility for deaths that weren’t her fault.

By gaslighting the public with claims that the UK are seen as an “apparent success” in the face of Covid is a denial of their responsibility and choosing to leave people like Alison feeling like this. If they were honest It would perhaps lift the burden of undeserved guilt.

As that’s not going to happen I can only hope there are people in her life who will not just tell her not to feel guilty but identify the real guilty party, point out who is really responsible; this skipfire of a government.
