@RMRM

Enough of people thinking the pandemic will simply go away because they've had enough.
This.
grassisjeweled · 17/02/2021 23:14

Totally agree

@DownstairsMixUp

Enough of the people who clearly love being locked up (mostly the furloughed or unemployed or stay at home parents with one income sufficient) let them go away and hide if that's what they want. Let the rest of us live.
Enough of thinking anyone is enjoying this.
sleepwouldbenice · 18/02/2021 00:24

Enough of still waiting for an alternative approach that will work. And those saying that they’ve had enough when they don’t have a credible alternative. We’ve all had enough

XenoBitch · 18/02/2021 00:38

Enough of the shaming people who are unable to wear masks.
Enough of calling a basic human need to connect with others 'selfish'.
Enough of telling people who have had enough to 'get a grip'
Enough of the World War comparisons.
Enough of the conspiracy theory/anti-vaxx labels of people who are genuinely concerned about a new vaccine.
Enough of the making up of lockdown rules and bitching when other people don't follow them.

recluse · 18/02/2021 01:02

Enough ageist “they’ve had their life” type comments.

14down · 18/02/2021 01:05

Enough of the selfish bastards who think their right to go shopping is more important than the right of vulnerable people to live

hopsalong · 18/02/2021 01:09

Enough of people resorting to cheap ad feminam arguments to avoid confronting points they disagree with.

No, @DameFanny, I haven't been reading 'too many Tory influenced 'think' pieces and 'philosophies' about individualism'. I'm a professor at Oxford and I write about and teach intellectual history. I don't think that gives me any special credentials on this topic, but please sod off with the patronising quotation marks.

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 18/02/2021 01:46

God you never would have coped in ww2

My granny used to complain that during ww2 people always resorted to “there’s a war on, you know”

Now you hear “there’s a pandemic on, you know”.

I’ve had enough of hearing that for one thing!

BritWifeinUSA · 18/02/2021 03:02

Enough of the unenforceable rules.

WanderingFruitWonderer · 18/02/2021 04:13

Enough of all the really difficult moral dilemmas, and the terrible crippling guilt I feel, if I feel I've been less than perfect with lockdown/Covid dilemmas (such as if I got too close to someone for a few moments by mistake, due to not wanting to offend them)

Wilkolampshade · 18/02/2021 06:56

@hopsalong

'Enough of the idea that the normal, averagely virtuous person can be expected to give up a huge number of things valuable to them, for an indefinite length of time, to save the lives people they don't know.'

Yep. And I do think approaching this rationally is completely lacking in public debate and media coverage even if behavioural scientists are advising behind the scenes.
Don' t know what the answer is though.

Nikki078 · 18/02/2021 07:27

Enough of being told we can stop, wipe out or eradicate Covid if we all try a bit harder.

Enough of the Children will bounce back and need to be more resilient.

Enough of locking our children and teenagers away.

Dontforgetyourbrolly · 18/02/2021 07:49

Enough of people thinking covid is the foremost and only threat to their health!
I work in a job where I am getting daily figures through for the Ebola outbreak currently , I'd take " long covid " over my vital organs disintegrating within 3 days .
Put things into perspective and stop being scared of LIFE

MarshaBradyo · 18/02/2021 08:01

Enough with downplaying necessity for children to see and learn with friends irl

Also agree with pp that the last thing most sahms want is more lockdown

Wherediditgo · 18/02/2021 08:01

God you never would have coped in ww2

How the fuck would you know?
I know that going through a once in a lifetime crisis would be far easier on people if they could actually see their families and not be made to think that each other were the enemy like now.

Wherediditgo · 18/02/2021 08:01

ENOUGH of people comparing the pandemic to WW2

Wherediditgo · 18/02/2021 08:03

Oh yeh, stay at home parents must be loving this. Stuck indoors with bored young children day in day out. Moron

I think you’ve really embarrassed yourself here as you clearly misread the post you quoted Confused

AIMummy · 18/02/2021 08:06

Enough of snacking in between meals.

I'd sacrifice a lot of this not to watch my elderly parents die horribly.

And yes, you are selfish.

@SummerBlondey

ENOUGH of people moaning.

ENOUGH of armchair critics saying that the Government are shit - yeah, easy to say when you're sat on your arse in your house.

ENOUGH of people thinking they know more about pandemics than Christ Whitty CB FRCP FFPH FMedSci

ENOUGH of people moaning about their Mental Health

Goodness knows how this generation would have fared during one of the World Wars, where cities were being bombed, your husbands and sons went off to war and your children were shipped off to the countryside.

GET A GRIP PEOPLE.

The Vaccine is being rolled out. For goodness sake, GET. A. GRIP.

Enough of people demonstrating how hard of thinking they are by using the fucking wars as a comparison.
