Tomorrow our area enters Tier 2 of COVID restrictions, the first time we come into extra measures. Is there a stigma to this? It’s not affecting us personally anyway – we haven’t been meeting other people in our homes anyway. How about changing the furlough scheme for those under the greatest restrictions: 100% up to the minimum hourly rate and 50% above that? Anyway…
Living God, give healing, we pray.
Heal our bodies of this virus.
Heal our communities of the divisions this has uncovered.
Save us from the age-old story that
it’s the poor who bear the greatest burden.
