Thanks to the government for killing me with kindness

By David Singer - posted Tuesday, 31 March 2020


My families' lives have been completely turned upside down in a matter of days. Their thriving businesses in some cases now no longer have any business at all. Pressures not existing three months ago will continue to increase for them the longer Government sees the need to protect me.

I have to stand by and watch their pain and anguish – feeling guilty that they have landed in this position because Government has preferred me to them. My life is now subsumed with stress and anxiety I never had just a few days ago.

Government always has to make choices – as there is never enough to go around.

I am beginning to think the choice Government has made this time is more likely to kill me than save me.
