Its getting harder and harder to believe that this is about public health anymore, with only 10 people on average dying a day we must be at the point now that the restrictions are causing more harm than good.

Read some of the replies to the comments sections of related articles, or tweets. There's plenty who seem happy to never leave their houses again and think 'travellers' are modern day Typhoid Marys!

One couple that I know. Absolutely bricking it despite having both jabs. Other than that, not a sole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I’m seeing and hearing it’s a mix of fear of the virus , carrot and stick fear in terms of do as we say or we make restrictions worse again and for lots the trade off of home working , free money schemes and the like is working out ok for them on balance of pros and cons ,,, It’s our children and grandchildren I worry about, personally I’m done with it now , I will not do holidays until this madness is gone , I will not go to a restaurant, football game , theatre or anything that forces me to wear a mask , give my name and address or any other restrictions such as vaccine passport ( had both jabs), I will not ever have any type of booster or ongoing jabs , as you say above I’m also beyond believing this is about public health and at some point you have to make a stand ,bloody shame though as at 60 years old I should be slowing down and enjoying the nice things in life ,seems there’s not too many of them left at this point??♂️ Edited June 17, 2021 by Archied Angry Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only know one person who's genuinely frightened - a 35 (ish) year old work colleague who only comes on site for work when he really has to, and is really paranoid about any personal contact & extreme social distancing when he does. His opinion is that we should be in full lockdown until everyone is fully jabbed - and even then, he's concerned that it still might not be safe until everyone had had a booster jab for next year. He's also a phd scientist (though I'm not sure what field - physics, I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of the "motivationally challenged" are very concerned about all the latest covid developments with regards to their workplace, but a quick glance at their facebook page reveals no such paranoia in their personal time. I wish I could say it was a shock, but I could've hand picked the people who would behave this way.

maxjam Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 We'll probably deliver another 8-10m vaccines between now and July 19th as well ? I'm not sure what the restrictions are anymore, other than going to the football I don't think life is any different for me now, but whatever they are I'm going to rebel against them if there is another extension. Enough's enough now. Bald Eagle's Barmy Army 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough's enough now. You're probably correct that the restrictions arent that bad anymore but until it is said that restrictions are gone I dont think life will feel normal again. I'm taking the kids down to London next weekend and would normally go down on the train but really dont fancy 2 hours of wearing a mask so will drive instead. Going out for meals and waiting 20 minutes to get a drink doesnt take my fancy either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it’s not just about what the restrictions are now, the more depressing thing is the constant threat that the gov can ,will and do change our lives at the drop of a hat and based on data that they decide the meaning of , models from modellers constantly looking for the worst case scenario to scare everyone and always turning out massively wrong ??♂️ Angry Ram, Bald Eagle's Barmy Army, maxjam and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
