ENOUGH.

[Beccatheboo]

Simply, ENOUGH.

Feel free to fill in the missing words.

Enough of the mumsnet covid bingo

‘I’m afraid’
‘Adjust your expectations’
‘How selfish’
‘We are in a pandemic’
‘It’s never going away’
‘For the foreseeable future’
‘We cannot open schools’
‘Nope’
‘Nope’
‘Nope’

I do wonder why a simple ‘no’ won’t suffice.

Well (I not saying enough) comparisons to ww2 are pointless and irrelevant. However this post is also pointless.
You are fed up but that is irrelevant to the virus.

Enough of no fun gossip!

Enough of people thinking Boris and cronies (in jobs they aren’t qualified for) are doing enough.

@pinkearedcow - Sorry bad example.

I can buy 98 cans of coke, 236 packets of crisps.

Yet I can not buy printer ink, a phone charger, a frying pan, a towell or a dressing gown.

Enough of the Scottish government dicking about. Only 48 people dead in the last 24 hours but were still being ordered to stay at home, schools are still shut, it’s illegal to visit family and I can’t even go abroad to see my mum who I’ve not seen since 2019 because of the fucking government thinking 49 lives are more important than millions of others that are actually fucking alive!!!

@HopelessBlue192

Enough of the arrogance of government and scientists thinking they can control this. It's a virus. Viruses were here before humans and they will be here after we're gone. Unfortunately you can never control something like this, and as sad as it is when people die, sometimes you just have to weigh up the risks and crack on.

Bloody good thing governments and scientists were arrogant enough to imagine they could control smallpox.

Imagine a year ago, telling someone that the WHOLE country would be locked down because 48 people died.

Now it is a given. Sadly

Enough of British people thinking this is terrible because it’s dared to affect people in Britain. There have been horrendous things happening all over the world before this but people don’t give it a second thought, cos they’ve had things so good for so long, that they think they’re untouchable. Dreadful things in other places have left people with no power, no food, no water, no roads, no way to contact anyone, no medical care etc. But people just switched off and couldn’t care less. We still have all those things. Things aren’t as good as they were before here but they will get better. I hope covid makes people have some empathy for people going through things much worse but not having the privilege to live in Britain where we know things will get better and be ok.

@pinkearedcow - They do not try to control seasonal Flu, that kills tens of thousands each year.

They try to mitigate the risks, with vacinations. However, they have accepted that Flu kills and it is a risk we need to live with.

For some reason, this virus (albeit more aggressive) has been given the order of total elimination. Zero Covid - utter madness.

I think our next goal is zero cancer and zero death.

Enough of the Scottish government in general.

Enough of this goldfish-memoried bollocks that seems to think that we open up as soon as deaths fall, rather than when more indicators point to a relative control

enough of people not thinking like @TwelvePaws - well done.

ENOUGH of people thinking the rules don’t apply to them for some reason.

ENOUGH of the constant whinging.

ENOUGH of the negative media, nothing like this has happened before so there is no previous experience or knowledge of how to deal with this.

ENOUGH of people saying I’ve had enough of this and I’m going to do what I want from now on.

It really isn’t that hard staying in.

@noname55 I’d quite happily have an alternative party in the Scottish Parliament but getting rid of the Scottish government altogether would remove Scotland’s ability to govern itself. And I’d really rather the snp to Westminster

Enough of comparisons with the fucking flu which doesn't fill intensive care wards over capacity in any year regardless of how many respective deaths are caused.

Err....

of the news being sooooo booooooring

'However, you are unlikely to die from not being able to buy a book but not being able to buy booze coudl kill some people.'

Who couldn't buy booze?! However, being able to buy booze could also kill people. Many things kill people. I read some bright spark on mn say we don't ban cars and they kill people .

Covid has produced off the scale demands on the nhs. Restrictions were obviously needed and now, fingers crossed, a slow cautious return to normal as possible.

I really can't be bothered arguing the toss, but, you are comparing donkeys with ducks.. Hopefully in the future we will be able to live alongside covid as we do with flu (which seems to be the goal, not covid zero), but that's just not possible right at this moment.

@Gilly12345 - However it is hard trying to feed a family of four with no income.

It is hard to watch your friends business fall apart after years of blood sweat and tears.

It is hard telling your children that they can not see their friends on their birthday or their grand parents.

It is hard not seeing your friends when your emotionally low.

It is hard watching your childrens education be ruined.

It is hard to see the small local independent business posting that they have had to shut up shop, so the high street will have another empty shop.

Do not triviliase this as 'Just staying in'

I imagine it is ok with a nice salary mind.

@DameFanny - Oh, but it does though

'NHS winter pressure: Hospitals report 99 per cent capacity over festive period as flu season looms
Senior physician calls for non-urgent operations to be postponed

Dr Nick Scriven, president of the Society for Acute Medicine (SAM), said many hospitals reported more than 99 per cent capacity in the week before Christmas.

Monday 01 January 2018'

So maybe before shouting down, check your facts

Look, make yourselves a cup of tea and pop This Morning on

Thousands and thousands of us are at work. If you have the luxury of sitting on your arse and watching This Morning then your viewpoint suddenly becomes a lot clearer.

You are one of the most incredibly patronising posters on here. You hide your venom behind tittery little comments about popping kettles on. I see through you. I'm sure many others do too.

Enough of not being able to get excited about my wedding because it looks like date number 2 is going to be fucked
Enough of the business I worked fucking hard for and went without to set up being gone forever because of a fucking virus we keep being told is under control due to vaccines but yet here we still fucking are with no end in sight
Enough of my DD being so depressed that they can't sleep anymore, have plummeted educationally, and are just a shadow of how they used to be
Enough of being frightened to pay for food shops because I'm running out on the savings I had
Enough enough enough

No one said people can't buy booze! Read the posts properly.

If a person physically addicted to alcohol cannot access it, they will need medical help and possibly hospitalisation. Not a good thing when the NHS is under the great stress.
