So at what point do people just stop complying or rebelling because they can't feed their kids anymore and their mental health is in the pan?

There has to be an end but what will that look like? People won't comply with this forever

I think that’s largely already happened, and that’s why we’re back with a more legally enforceable lockdown rather than an advisory one.

It has to end somewhere but where?
Hope is on vaccines but even with law enforced lockdown at some point people will riot/rebel
When people can't feed their family because businesses fold and economy plummets etc

We are saving the NHS and lives but at some point the balance will tip. And lives will be lost to poverty and mental illness

What would not complying look like? Taking your DC to a closed school and abandoning them? Quitting your job?

I agree that it’s an impossible situation for many working parents of young children but I can’t see an easy way for them to rebel - it’s not like they’ve got time to spare to organise a march on parliament.

It did cross my mind earlier that people might start rioting outside vaccination centres or stealing the vaccine, if the roll out is too slow / as inept as everything else this government does
