What are you fighting for/against? You can see the figures starting to creep up, the hospital admissions and deaths increasing. According to the stats, the group who are being hospitalised at a higher number at the moment are relatively young women (40 - 55) - that's young enough to have toddlers and another 27 years in the workforce.
I don't think anyone wants another lockdown. You talk of protesting - against what? Do you want the government to lift all restrictions? How will you feel when we are hearing of 1000 excess deaths a day? 2000? How many is too many?
Others talk of the incompetence of the government (don't get me wrong, I think they're pretty incompetent and not just on Covid). What would you have them do? The countries where Covid has been tackled better have far more intrusive methods. Koreans and Japanese are generally very obedient. We appear not to be. All school children wearing masks, everyone wearing masks from the word go, everyone obeying the rules, downloading test and trace apps, government using credit card and cctv to track the movements of people who test positive.
There have been protests in Germany against the restrictions and cases are now rising, and in Belgium and the Netherlands.
If I was in govt I'm not sure what I'd do. Probably have had university students doing distance learning for a year, perhaps had all school lessons for over 13s done on-line.
I do think this pandemic has shown us up as quite a selfish nation generally - great on the big ticket showy stuff like clapping for the NHS, but not very good at taking personal responsibility to ensure we don't contribute to spread of the virus and therefore the knock-on effect to the economy (or at least not enough of us take personal responsibility). It has also shown up the lack of critical thinking skills among a large swathe of the population.
