MenoAZinkulling: H

This month here at the Wild YAMster's bloggy, you are going to be regaled with words related to feelings and happenings of the last twelve months. Oh yes, you know of what I talk.  This is to be the ALPHABET OF AAARRGFIZZZ... We've all had to deal with it. This will be a reflection purely from my point of view. You don't necessarily have to agree with what I say; just appreciate where it's coming from. Normal service will resume on May Day. (By which time I may be yelling that down the ether phone loud and repetitively!)

Health. There, I said it. Got it out of the way. Definitely one of the keywords of Coviditionitis. The thing that gets me a bit agitated is that we have to be learning all this stuff over again. You know... Hand Hygiene. That's "we" in the generic sense. As a family, we Macs have always been a bit Hyper with Handwashing. Our dearly departed mother was manic about it, and as kids, there wasn't a thing we could do without first turning on the taps. Particularly if it was to do anything in the kitchen. The fact that we have all been, directly or by association, health professionals just adds to it. 

I suspect a level of cultural difference also. Down Under, on the whole, hygiene is high, and folk are all the time washing their hands - including after you know what. On my return to these northern isles, I have to admit that I observed a good deal less attention to such. I have always carried with me the alco-gel to suffice until I could reach soap and water, as I have been mostly consigned to public transport for my travel. 

Hands are one thing; wiping of surfaces is another. I am possibly a bit obsessive about it and have always been. When I see others being less so, I fair twitch! Yet here we are, nearly two hundred years into knowing about the transmission of germs by touch, and we seem to be no better at applying the rules of hygiene. 

Now there are new rules around covering our faces and how to do it effectively. Many people complain, but the simple fact is that they just do not understand the benefit for many unless they land up sick themselves. 

At the governmental level, there have also been considerations around economic health; indeed, I would go so far as to suggest that yon buffoon, known as Alicksinner Boaster da Potter Jugson, only really wanted to concentrate on that part and let the whole health and wellbeing of the population go fend for itself. Dashed inconvenience this thing. There's the small matter of Breakshit to get going. The sooner we can get out of Hades, the better. Oh no, wait, her up north is going slow - maybe we better exercise caution too... so how soon can we really open up? What third wave?

See you tomorrow for the ongoing saga. Please be aware that there is more I amAZing over at
