I've a special interest in dentists opening up again as I've broken a tooth. I've bodged it up with some temporary stuff for now but I really need it sorted out before I get an infection.
The British Dental Association has recommend all dentists close becuase of lack of PPE. They even seem to be struggling to get enough for the emergency dental centres they have set up that will only take you on AFTER your condition has become a general health hazard. This is why I'm against rolling out surgical grade masks to the general public - Most of the retards round here who aren't even observing social distancing wouldn't have a clue how to use them properly anyway. The priority needs to go to the health services including dentists. When teeth "go wrong" they can rapidly impact on your general well being. I should know, a few years back I ended up with simultaneous abscesses on both sides of my mouth. Aside from the excruciating agony the risk to your overall health is high.
There is a balance in all these things when resources are scarce, they need to go the areas where they have most leverage.
Generally, I'm increasingly of the opinion that we can't go on like this.
Danger rant ahead !
Again, today on my walk, people nattering in groups, kid intermingling between family groups. The road traffic was back to normal in the village - usual collection of huge 4X4's blocking visibility at junctions and cars sewn all over the place.
I'm afraid I lost my rag at one point. I was forced off the pavement by a group of "natterer's" so I stepped into the road in front of a huge 4X4 and stuck my hand up. I then walked pointedly down the middle of the road past the "natterer's". I then politely acknowledged the 4X4 driver and returned to the pavement - he didn't look too happy - well tough tulip!!! Natterer's didn't even notice !
To be frank I'm f*king sick of it always having to be ME that enforces social distancing - an increasing number of people really couldn't give a tinkers cuss - and nor will I for much longer unless there is a general shift to more compliance !
