Wasn’t a criticism, I just find it extremely sad that the fear campaign waged on the public has destroyed the joys of living for many many people which will probably never return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was anxious at first being around people when things started opening up but that has now almost gone. @BucksRamseems to have a valid reason for being wary and but I don’t know anyone who is “living in fear” based on propaganda. I’m not saying they don’t exist, just that some people will take longer than others to get back to normality, so I disagree that it will never return for many people.

For me, I feel I have learned a lot about enjoying lifes 'simple pleasures' and how actually I feel happier without the pressure to fill weekends with trips, activities and socialising. For me this IS freedom! I have discovered how little I need to be happy and what is truly important in life. ? i-Ram, Eddie, Stive Pesley and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we were officially shielding for months but are getting back to normal. Not as a result of propaganda though. I guess normal going forward for some will look different. For us we do aim to get back to where we were, but in stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope your right , I hope we return to doing the simple things in life without having to think twice and not feeling that other people are a danger to us ( I personally don’t ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having already caught it once and having been double jabbed, I'd imagine there is very little reason to be scared of it. 1 hour ago, Eddie said: Is it irrational to be wary of something that has a (non-vaccinated) death rate around 2%?

According to Eddie s figures 98 % of people have nothing to fear from it ( before vaccination) but rather than give the 2% the information and help they need to stay as safe as possible we terrify the whole population Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
