It reminds me how out of touch with reality some are when they claim that holidays during a pandemic are “essential” for mental health. It’s so pathetically privileged. We would all like to get away from this bleakness but some of us have to think about others than ourselves

It’s not just that we’ve been told not to travel and that airports are hubs for the virus, it’s not just that our key workers are risking their own lives to keep us safe and healthy, but there is also the people in the other country to consider. What about their health?

And no, I’m not blaming the general public for this virus spreading because the government is solely to blame for it getting as bad as this, but to weaponise the mental health card to justify a completely selfish decision is not it.

We’ve got influencers jetting to Dubai then pulling out “let’s remember to be kind” as a way of avoiding any accountability, and their fans justifying it by saying it’s essential for mental well-being and it’s the governments fault anyway. You are all being obtuse and you know it
