Civil Unrest?

[HannoK]

If freedoms and liberties, and basic services continue to be denied to us, I predict mass unrest starting in the autumn and winter among those whose lives have been trashed for a virus that causes little more than a cough in most cases.

People are not going to put up with this shit for much longer.

I've stuck to the rules 100%, but that was too protect the NHS. But why, my elderly mother desperately needs face to face help with various medical issues and is getting nothing. I'm fucking fuming and reaching the end of my tether.

Lindy yes I know the wailing and carrying on is ridiculous but at least it’s an outlet for some I suppose

MarshaBradyo - if my posts are so pointless why do you reply?

My thoughts and feelings are my own.

So no answer on how you’d deal with a pandemic? What a pity could have been insightful

the measures put in place you are moaning about @HannoK are what are protecting your elderly mother from dying of covid....

MarshaBradyo - I’m so sorry to let you down xxxx

My mid-30s single friends essentially see Covid as the death knell for any chance of now finding a partner and having a child.

Why can’t your single friends find dates on line. I did and that was 15-20 years ago!

Aside from Covid, would anybody here actually try and protest if people were rounded up into camps, executed etc?

Now that'd be worth getting upset about.
Not being able to do as much shopping as you like, cancelled choir practices etc, not so much.

OP I think you are "allowed" to go and help a person who needs care.

I think you should go and see your mum.

Otherwise I want people to stick to the rules so the pandemic can go away.
I have had it and it was really horrible and my overall health is now damaged,

@HannoK

No after school clubs, no athletics training, no choirs, restrictions on weddings, funerals, not allowed in GP surgery but have to wait outside, no meeting more than 6 people, no hugging, no library, no clubs for the elderly, no right to free movement, no competent education, covid marshalls, ......I could go on

At least learn how to spell 'marshals' if you're going to complain about them. Not 'marshall', nor 'marshall's'

If they were called 'Covid Assistants' would you have felt the same?

lives have been trashed for a virus that causes little more than a cough in most cases

Says it all really.

Don't be bloody daft, OP.

Oh fuck off with this nonsense. We can go to work.

Not all of us. I don't know how many times I have had to repeat this.

Oh fuck off with this nonsense. We can go to work.

If you are making the government money, you can.

OP, I don't agree that there will be civil unrest as the British in general are, as many have said previously, too apathetic. I do however, agree entirely, the measures in place are completely out of proportion with the risks related to Covid. The risks of another lockdown or more severe restrictions far outweigh the risks of Covid.

Why are we not looking at the death ratio alongside the rising cases? It is good thing that more people are getting it with fewer deaths, surely.

There's no real shit for me to put up with. I'm a LP with no social life who'd like to stay healthy.
I miss days out (we went all the time) but I'd like long covid and not being able to parent properly a lot less.

How do you think the doctors feel? Please god don't expect any treatment.

If you are making the government money, you can.

Nope. Sector still shuttered tight. Pays over £39 billion in taxes most years.

OP don’t read The Mandibles by Lionel Shriver. This book will terrify you.

Are you living in the UK OP? Because kids of the things you’re talking about are totally possible here.

There's hardly ever civil unrest in the cold months. If it carries on to next spring / summer then maybe...
