I thought I'd start a thread of current over-used phrases I keep seeing on other threads (does this count as a thread about a thread? Hmm:

"its 4 weeks people!"

"this virus isnt going anywhere!" (i hold myself to account for using that one)

"its not a proper lockdown"

"Christmas is just ONE DAY"

Please feel free to add your own!

"it'll be over quicker if everyone just follows the rules" (just for reference, it won't...)

“Is going to B&M worth risking ending up on a ventilator for?”

“...and I bet you were out clapping for the NHS every week”

Jrobhatch29 · 05/11/2020 11:58

If people have just behaved in the first place we wouldn't need this lockdown.... Hmm

Jrobhatch29 · 05/11/2020 11:58

I meant that as a quote BTW ha

Here are a few more of mine:

"we're only in this situation because too many people had holidays over the summer"

"so many people hate teachers on MN"

"schools are not childcare"

"the vaccine may never come, then what?" (also guilty of this one!)

"i care more about lives than the economy"

"people are DYING!"

I can't cope with that one again.

"Teachers dont want schools to shut, they just want them to be safe"

A vaccine won’t be the silver bullet everyone thinks.

MarcelineMissouri · 05/11/2020 14:31

Just to add obviously it won’t be a silver bullet but why people feel the need to be so bloody negative and patronising all the time....

This made me laugh! Grin
TheoriginalLEM · 05/11/2020 15:16

Shit, ive forgot my mask

BlackeyedSusan · 05/11/2020 15:19

when do you think the switch will come from "just stay the fuck at home/you are a murderer for going out and buying x item for your disabled child when you could have ordered on line"... to the "get a fucking grip it is not that dangerous" type messages? you need to have some of those on your bingo card.

'Well, I went to Asda/Tesco/Sainsbury's/Morrison and half the people in there weren't wearing masks'
To be used when you have seen one or two people out of hundreds not wearing a mask 😷

SpnBaby1967 · 05/11/2020 15:45

If you dont like a mask you'll hate a ventilator

Underhisi · 05/11/2020 16:58

There are no exemptions in (insert name of country that has exemptions).

Ignoringequally · 05/11/2020 16:59

Every other country just gets on with it without moaning.
Britain is the laughing stock of the rest of the world.

So many cans kicked down so many roads in the last few months.
