Nine deaths from one cause, in such a short time, in a small community – is a lot.
Cause and Effect.
Those who opened up Orkney and who lifted Covid restrictions are partially responsible for this happening.
The others who are responsible are those who are behaving as though Covid has gone away and life is back to ‘normal’.
It hasn’t, and it isn’t.
Until folk get a grip on that and start to behave accordingly, the situation will get worse.
Please, folks, remember all this next time elections come around. That is one way that we can make a difference.
I meant to type ‘five deaths from one cause’. I should calm down before writing things – but that’s hard to do these days.
