Would you be happy to lock down for the next two years?

[BirdieFriendReturns]

If the government restrictions stayed in place?

So until May 2022.

I wouldn't be happy because I miss working but if it was needed then I'd do it.

If it stops myself or my family from dying, yes.

Simple answer? Yes. As long as I could continue working.

No way

No, absolutely not

Yes.

If it stops needless deaths, then yes.

Absolutely not. For that length of time I think that the vulnerable and elderly should be protected, but everyone else (under 65, no significant underlying conditions) would have to work and live.

Where do people draw the line? 3 years? 5 years? 10 years? Forever?

No. It's not going to happen.

No. Currently furloughed, and my depression is creeping back. Life is all a bit pointless at the moment.

Won’t happen

It’s a no from me

No!

No.

No. I wouldn't be prepared to sacrifice the younger generation for the old. Sorry, that's just how I feel. Actually, it is also how my elderly relatives feel as well.

Yes.

No chance. And there’d be no money to pay for the NHS if we did that. More people would die of non covid related illnesses

What about the deaths from lockdown? There will be far more and we need the economy up and running

No. Definitely not.

And how would we pay for the NHS?

No. But it's a moot point anyway because it's not going to happen.

No! There’s little point in living to be locked inside for 2 years- won’t happen though

Absolutely not. I think the effect on my DS, and his whole generation, would be appalling and lifelong. He'd go from 20 months to nearly four - and in theory about to start school - without playing with another child or seeing anyone other than us, and the damage from that would be irreparable.

It's not going to happen, though!

No
