Whatever the reasons, there were always going to be posters who felt it was OK to be spiteful to people who are concerned and posters who think their sarcastic hyperbole is amusing.
Yes, there have been some ridiculous comments on this thread aimed at people who feel that perhaps a little bit of caution on the part of Boris Johnson in ending restriction would be a good idea.
I desperately want restrictions to end and long for normal life to resume but the fact is if we're hit with yet another variant, which is possible and highly likely, a complete lack of testing will not show that up until it's had time to take hold.
No one has any idea if the next variant, or the one after that will be milder or more severe than the ones we've had until now and to some of us it just feel sensible not to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
And just for clarity, I'm not hysterical about keeping restrictions. I've never ever washed my shopping in my life and I have certainly never berated anyone for buying, or wanting to buy anything.
Frankly, I was more concerned with how the whole horrible situation was impacting on our death rates, people's lives and my own and other's physical and mental health to worry about what people were putting in their shopping baskets.
Clearly there are some people who have difficulty accepting that other people have differing opinions from their own and find sensible discussion a difficult concept to grasp.
