Of course, my country is not the only country that tolerates COVID-19 restrictions.Daily talking to my slotxo colleagues in the United States, I discovered many experiences and similarities in what it felt like to get rid of this epidemic. That have been included in our home in the past 12 months. But there is a difference as well - something unique in life through the blocking here.In Britain, COVID-19 is already in a major post-Brexit landscape.The plague is a late and unwelcome guest of a party that has already decayed into chaos and fights. People and businesses are trying to find their feet in the new world outside of Europe. (Britain formally left the EU on December 31), but that country's national identity has been in confusion since the 2016 Brexit referendum, COVID seldom acted to unite us in the future. This is not certainThe rainbow was displayed in windows across the country.

The only thing we can agree on is that we all love the National Health Service, NHS. Children put rainbow paintings on the windows to thank the health workers cheering. But beyond that, we can't agree on how to show our appreciation for them. Some of them stood at the door and clapped their hands. But some say this was an empty stance, lacking meaningful material support, while NHS officials were stretched to the breaking point. More than 126,000 people have died from COVID-19 in the UK, according to the Johns Hopkins Corona Resource Center.
There is little consensus to be found everywhere, not big or small. Conflicts between leaders, north and south, and even among neighbors, friends and family are evident all the time. The bigger question is whether the United Kingdom can coexist as a single unit, or whether parts of the country should take a break for the independence they have threatened to do for years. It is a debate that I find myself inadvertently caught up in the situation as the circumstances and rules that affect my life have changed from my close friends and family.
Daily life in the premiere
The daily change in UK life over the past year has been dictated by your personal circumstances and where you live in that country.My partner and I moved to Edinburgh from London in late January 2020, which was Make decisions in life before the plague It goes without saying that we haven't had the opportunity to make new friends and feel social in our new home.

Edinburgh is now home
Now my life is slow I leave the house for a walk, run, or grab groceries or take-out coffee from the incubator. But that's the extent of what I am allowed to do. The winter was very dark and pulled out, it was cold at times, and sometimes the sun passed days with the skies gray. But it doesn't help when it falls at 3:30 PM. Fortunately, we've gone through the worst of times. A sea of pink flowers in Edinburgh's meadows is beginning to bloom.It's not all like this. This past summer, we traveled across Scotland to see the jungle views and enjoy an evening at Edinburgh's plaza-like Grassmarket beer, during peak season it didn't get dark until 10pm our parents and friends went. Visit from England We can have food inside at the restaurant if we want. But we chose not to eat It's freedom of arrangement
But in late October, as the number of COVID-19 cases began to rise again, a level system was introduced in Scotland, unlike similar systems. But unlike in England, this creates increased levels of restrictions in different regions depending on local infection prices. The most difficult for us, we were told not to leave the city. We wait for weekly updates to receive news on how we can drive up the hill for fresh air or meet people we care about. It's news that never comes. Five months later, we are still not allowed to leave Edinburgh.The cycle resulting from getting my hopes started and hurried them to hurry to deal with emotions was more difficult than being in a state of constant blockade with no expectation of the end.There is more bad news on Saturday before Christmas, a holiday that we have long been convinced of will continue. Prime Minister Boris Johnson told the British people to change our plans. Christmas, which was a bright spot in the long dark winter, was lifted, the upper limit was revised on December 26th and the new year started with a complete return to lockdown due to the emergence of the line. The new British breed earned the UK the nickname "Plague island".
