Welcome to Thursday everyone, what should we rant about today - Politicians, COVID-19, Trump or Johnson. I tell you what let's try something new, how about self isolation? I know its linked to all the above, but the reason I am ranting about this today is the food and survival aspects of self isolation. on one hand we are being told to stay home and stay safe to lower the risk of spreading the virus, while on the other hand the larger food stores who I won't name are restricting there home deliveries to pensioners, the vulnerable and those self isolating due to contracting the virus.

So if you don't class yourself in those categories they are making it hard for you to stay home and safe as you have to make a choice, do I starve or do I risk catching the virus, both in my opinion are life threatening decisions. On the other hand you could always just order takeout everyday of lock down, but that comes with consequences also as how do you afford to order take out everyday when you aren't working to provide for yourself or your family if you have one.

Then there's the other consequence if I venture out will I be stopped by the police to explain my reason for being out in the first place. I believe the only winners in this dilemma will be the rich who can afford to not work and can order take out for as long as needed. We are living in a f***** up time. So as my freezer and cupboards start to thin out it looks like my decision as an unemployed author is to go shopping and risk the wrath of the police or catching the virus, so I don't starve. Which on the bright side I suppose starving or as the guru's say "cleansing" would help with the diet.

Rant you tomorrow!
