If we suddenly had to go into a 3 month lockdown again, how would you feel?

I think people would definitely comply. If it was Mpox I would want a smallpox vaccine as it's somewhat effective.

M pox has been doing the rounds for ages. I work in an A&E and have seen quite a few cases over the past coulple of years. We won't be locking down

The only people that would comply with future lockdowns are those with health anxiety.

I certainly wouldn't.

It won't happen but I'd love it. Ds would too - we remember Covid lockdowns fondly.

I don't think people would comply.

I don’t think enough people would comply to make it effective. I certainly wouldn’t stop seeing my family and stop my kids seeing their grandparents etc. Not again. Life is too short.

Awful. But I don't fancy catching that monkey pox. I don't think I would go out at all.

Lockdown was mental last time and it would be mental now

We followed the rules last time. My Mum struggled last time not seeing family the way she's used to. I wouldn't dream of putting her through that again especially since she's 4 years older

Id certainly stick to some but not as strictly as last time

No we complied before and a lot of us are still reaping the rewards.

I didn’t mind lock down - lovely hot weather, played with the kids, read books.

But I had a job that could t be down from home, but now have a WFH job so it wouldnt be as much fun.

I'd make better use of the time this time around.

I'd certainly be more relaxed about 'the rules' though, I wouldn't be panicking about if I was allowed to go for a walk when I'd already been to Asda, that was nuts!

I'd do it as long as I could do see my parents - they don't go out much and are very very close to my children. One of my children has a health vulnerability so I'd definitely comply. I think we'd manage fine for work, my children really enjoy others company. We'd be fine.

Meh, so long as it can be for Dec/Jan/Feb I’d be happy, 😃

This MPox is a class 1, previous was class 2 (or something like that - definitely different). It's already killed 450 in an area well versed in managing deadly infectious diseases. Hopefully it won't come to it but if we are told to lock down we'd be well advised to heed the advice. Especially as unlike COVID it's not particularly the vulnerable it affects.

Had this conversation with my 19 year old son this evening. He was worried about the mpox but we both agreed not to participate in a lockdown m not after last time

I got furloughed last time and had an absolute jolly of a year doing absolutely fuck all and getting paid for it.

I still wouldn't be doing it again, not a chance.

No, I would not. The Covid lockdowns cost me my sanity and nearly my life. I will not be doing it again.

Nope. Wouldn’t do it.

I’m under a lot of stress atm because of other people and right now I’d love nothing more than to shut myself away from the world so it would work well for me personally but I know it could never be done again, too many people would protest. against it.

I think people would comply because the social pressure that made people comply last time would be manufactured again.

i think it would have to be a pretty bloody terrible outbreak of mpox or whatever though and I don’t think we’re near that (at the moment).

I wouldn’t be that bothered on a personal level- have nice house and family and am comfortable enough to wether the storm again.

I would feel bad/guilt/fear for others though, now we know how bad it was for some people last time there is a responsibility to try to avoid.

Relieved I no longer have a two year old.

If you read the article they want to raise awareness and funding to find a cure or vaccination. That’s not a bad thing.

I wouldn’t comply.

I have never tested for covid and never will.

This makes me feel so angry.
The government paying people to have a lovely time at home.
I was angry about furlough at the time, and I'm even angrier about it now. As in really, really angry about it.
