I cannot see another lockdown happening at all. There is no support for it, politically or the public.

They know that people will not follow another lockdown. I personally only locked down for a few weeks (after seeing the effect it had on me and my grandchildren) then just carried on with my life, seeing who I wanted and doing what I wanted within reason seeing as so many things were shut.

They had the fear of the unknown behind them before, most are now wise to it and have lived with it for 2 years now. So no, I'm pretty sure there will be no lockdown and if there is, it won't last longer than a few days as everyone will just carry on living their life.

Lots of people seem to be effectively "locking down" themselves now because they're scared of catching COVID.

My mid-30s healthy, fit sister and brother in law have done this. They have said they will not see any one over Christmas until they've had the chance to get their boosters. I feel for their 5 year old and 18 month old child most of all, they're not been given the choice. It feels callous to call people brainwashed but I do feel desperately sad that so so many people are putting their lives on hold because of covid, in spite of the continuous lies from the government and evidence that shows anything more than a mild reaction would be rare.

I am all for taking precautions for the things and people who matter to you but people are being absurdly over cautious about many things now, it is a definite culture of fear going on that's been driven by government messaging.

My friend is dying for another lockdown.. I’m almost at the point of blocking him over it. He doesn’t have much of a life ‘so it won’t effect’ him. He’s in his 30s and lives at home, never paid a bill or done a food shop in his life, he goes to work and straight back home - rinse and repeat everyday with no idea of how the world works.

He doesn’t understand the impact of having kids at home or how much the price of things have increased.

So many people dying for another lockdown and more restrictions and who seem to be thriving off of the drama and misery of it .. get a life! 🥲

Even if it won't really affect him, why does he want one so badly? I feel like some people live for the drama of situations like this.

Had a message on the platform my children’s school uses to contact parents saying that one of my children has been identified as a close contact with a positive case in their class and it’s advised that they take an LFT daily for 7 days. First of all they can duck off, theres 3 days left before the end of term and it’s not happening, second of all they haven’t stated which child or class this is and I’m not testing all of them for the sake of it. Thirdly there are no LFT’s to be found in my area and fourthly (is that a word, lol) the message has since been deleted from the platform so wtf is going on, did they send it to the wrong class or what?? Worrying parents needlessly for no reason. Idiots.

The whole thing is a complete farce. Omicron cases in hospitals have magically gone from 250 to 9 within the space of an hour. Nobody knows their arses from their elbows. Just let us live our lives for fucks sake.

I think for a lot of the more introverted people in society the lockdown was comforting because it allowed other people of the world to live like them for a time - I'm sure we've all had that feeling of pressure to go out on a Friday night, or feeling like a bum because you're say at home all weekend whilst your friends and family have plans. With everyone in that boat, for a while it was quite "nice" to have no social pressures etc for a short time.

Why anyone would want that now though :ROFLMAO: you gotta be mad.

So it's now get the booster or no more pubs, restaurants, cinemas, theatres, concerts.......

Oh duck off.
My son is 19 and having his booster this week because he’s worried he won’t be able to live a normal life next year if he doesn’t. I don’t want him to have it, I’m terrified incase he is injured by it, the heart risks terrify me. It’s so wrong people are feeling forced to do this.

The pressure is disgusting! I can't imagine how hard it must be to be a teenager or a student right now and not want the jab but want to be able to go to nightclubs and bars etc, the main way you socialise at that age.

My mother in law is one of them. She's convinced that if she catches it she will die. She had cancer 11 years ago but the radiotherapy left her with weak lungs. She's terrified and is talking about not coming down on Christmas day now.

Royal Mail don't have capacity to deliver apparently...and they are drafting in amazon. Let's just hope they don't use Hermes or else we will never get the tests 🤣

People STILL aren't able to order lateral flow tests online # via https://android.com

My boyfriends dads always going on about how the pubs are going to close before Xmas and then there will be another lock down, he seems to thrive talking about it, he said he wouldn’t be bothered if there was another lockdown… yeah maybe because you don’t do anything apart from go to work or the supermarket anyway!

We get a Royal Mail delivery about once a week at the moment if we’re lucky, presumably due to staff isolating. So ordering LFT’s if you need them asap is pointless. It’s a joke.

My sister has just got back from a weeks holiday. They ordered their PCR tests to arrive while they were away. They haven’t arrived. She’s been told they need to wait another 2 days for them to arrive and then will need to wait further for the results. Her and her husband have done lfts which are negative.
Due to the delays she is now going to miss an antenatal appointment.
