“You’re spreading the virus” (when someone is doing nothing more than taking a few solitary walks if talking to their mother at the end of a long driveway. You can only spread it if you already have it and if you come into contact with someone else. It’s the assumption that everyone is “spreading the virus” that irritates me. The vast majority of us aren’t, as the rates of infection show.

All on the same side in this war

It’s not a war!

Covidiot

Following the science

Doing the right thing at the right time

Well intentioned

Lots I never want to hear again but I am going to take positive steps to include '3 Rubik's cube and 1 Keir Starmer' as often as possible.

Its the governments fault
I never voted Tory

I’m quite happy to hear “it’s the government’s fault”

I’d like to hear it more in relation to lockdown

I voted for them, I didn’t think they’d ever be mad enough to do this. Tories put lives ahead of the economy?! That’s not why anyone votes Tory 😂

The phrase "our NHS" used to envoke some sort of woke, faux-socialist, uber-proud and in-touch emotive quality in the user about the heath service. When in fact it's just thinly veiled political point scoring that's now been overused to the point of losing any meaning.

It's "the NHS". There is only one and we all know which one you're talking about anyway.

"Ramping up" - what the fuck does this actually mean..? (Apart from 'This makes me sound Churchillian and as though I'm actually doing something') NO IT DOESN'T - it makes you sound like a twat... Just say 'increasing' FFS...
(You may have noticed that I'm a little tetchy - DD is a nurse with a distinct lack of PPE...)

‘Having a newborn is like a mini lockdown anyway...’ DP. Every. Single. Conversation!!! Closely followed by ‘badger is probably bored of me saying that’...you think?! He also blinks too loud sometimes

Homeschooling

The people who say I'm in X country." Think yourself lucky that you're allowed to take a breath without permission. Here you'd be spending lockdown lined up against a wall with a gun pointed to your head, and the officer tells you when you can breathe. (As though that's something to be proud of)

well, you are lucky. It doesn't mean full lockdown and curfews are not going to happen here either. People were laughing at the idea of schools closing. See how that one turned out.

I appreciate we're "lucky" and I'm aware things may get worse. It didn't seem absurd to me that schools might close, but some people are practically salivating over the thought of it getting worse and people being locked in their homes,and not even allowed out for food. Some even seemed to try to justify people being beaten and left without food and basic necessities in India. They seem to thrive on the misery.

Besides I'm not in X country so I don't give a fuck what they're doing.

'That's so selfish!' when someone has done something totally legit and harmless, like walk a child to a deserted pond to watch the ducks.

'It's easy to stay indoors.' No, no, really it isn't, when you have two dogs staring at you, whining and pacing, and you're desperate for your daily fix of woods, fields and exercise.

"It's the right thing to do".

And all the others on here.

"Bit early isn't it?"

My neighbour is having a bbq

PPE

Underlying health conditions

"Should I report xyz"

Workout with the Green Goddess

Lockdown, I'll be happy if I never hear the word again.

Covidiot or however it’s spelt is a stupid made up word I never ever want to hear again
