What is the point

In living, if we aren't allowed to live.

Human beings are sociable animals. We went into lockdown to save the NHS from being overwhelmed

Yeah, well that happened months ago

I don't see the point in going on any more - government on a power trip. My life curtailed for nothing

Waste of time

I don't want to live at the expense of young people giving up living.

“
Not in my name are today's generation getting thrown under the bus.”

100% agree. Too many people blaming youth and young people. It’s not their fault.

@Emmelina

Hopefully the lockdown gave the NHS some knowledge of how to deal with it. It is going to hit harder again as winter comes, so not only will the hospitals be busy with the usual winter illnesses they’ll also have COVID patients flooding the hospital.

Thank your stars you’re healthy for now, OP.

Fuck that

it isn't the flu but it is no worse than the flu for young people.

People don't live forever

Give me my suicide pills - I'll take them

Perhaps "today's generation" don't really mind wearing masks in shops if it curbs a bloody pandemic.

Our kids are being fucked

Our older children and young adults are being accused of killing their grandparents

It's their life. They are the important people. If human life is to continue it is them that will be responsible for it

I'm a boomer, I've always kind of understood the meme BUT for fucks sake. I'm still fit and healthy but I have had my teens, my twenties, my family and my owned property.

Not in my name are today's generation getting thrown under the bus.

@Hont1986

What particular part of your life is being curtailed?
It's not MY life

It's LIFE in general

it can all fuck off now, I've had enough

So dramatic.

We went into lockdown to save LIVES not the NHS. It was to equip the NHS with time to figure out how to successfully treat covid, what PPE requirements we will need to protect staff and patients, what protocols are in place to avoid becoming overwhelmed. It isn't about saving the NHS. It never was. It was a buffer to allow time to figure things out!

It didn't happen months ago. It has been happening all this time. It is still happening.

You can still see people, just not loads of people at the same time.

I was feeling optimistic recently with tiny things coming back - my pilates class, hope of a park run next month, restaurant meals with friends etc.

Now it looks like its been snatched away again. Its doing weird things to my mental health. I've felt really down tonight.

Life is hard for so many people right now, I think a lot of people feel the way you do. You are not alone Flowers
