Blatant lack of concern for others

-

ATTITUDES to Covid span the entire spectrum from timid to temerariou­s, from slavishnes­s to the rules to blithe disregard for them, from trust in the Government to snorting disbelief.

Until last week, however, I had assumed that wherever you stood on that scale there was one rule which we all accepted just because it made obvious sense: if you know you have Covid, self- isolate until you have it no longer. That is surely not rocket science. Yet we had the unbelievab­le case of an MP, Margaret Ferrier, above, of the SNP, spending five hours on a train to Scotland knowing she had tested positive for Covid. Knowing, not just suspecting or fearing but knowing. Reckless does not even begin to describe it.

Dash it, she even travelled to Westminste­r with symptoms while waiting for the test results instead of making her contributi­on to the parliament­ary debate remotely.

Words fail me. Completely.
