I’m not doing this shit anymore

[struggling8888]

I’ve had enough!!!!!!! I’m sick to death of walking around my boring area, sick of the muddy fucking park and having to feed my baby in the cold because we’re not allowed indoors.

I hate the fact we’ve gone into mass fucking hysteria over a virus where 1/3 of people who get it don’t even realize and the vast majority of others get mild flu symptoms AT MOST.

I thought the vaccine was going to be our way out of this shit but no - suddenly there are new variants, it’s not good enough for the whole of the UK to be vaccinated - the WHOLE WORLD has to be vaccinated before we’re truly safe, and we’re now aiming for zero fucking Covid which was NEVER the original aim.

I just want family and friends to come round my house, indoors. I want to go to shops and sit in a cafe and not have to stand in a bloody queue to get in. I want someone to take my baby off me for one bloody afternoon so I can have a bit of peace and quiet.

I thought I’d feel better now the warmer weather’s here but I don’t at all. DP and I had a row earlier because he said it’s hard for him too and it’s not all about me. I never said it was, but surely I’m allowed to have a rant about how shit this is to my own partner?!!

I want the madness to end, now.

I feel your pain, truly I do. I found the end of my rope this weekend and it is unravelling fast.

I can’t think for one minute this much-lauded announcement by Boris tomorrow is going to change things very soon either.

Hang on as hard as you can.

Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before...

I hear you OP. I just want DD(19) to be able to get out of bed 10 months after getting Covid. I want DS(16) to be able to go back to school without worrying he's going to bring the coronavirus home again without realising he had it, and reinfect her. Ditto DH who's a teacher. I want DD to get the vaccine so she's protected but the GP won't give it to her yet. I want to rewind a year to when DD only had ME and not the heart condition now she has as well. But most of all I want everything to go back to normal for everyone else so they can all live happily ever after and stop whingeing about living the life I've lived for the past 5 years.

Maybe there’s a theme emerging....enough is enough 🤷‍♀️

@BonnesVacances ❤️

Are we aiming for zero Covid? I thought that idea had been rejected.

I can’t think for one minute this much-lauded announcement by Boris tomorrow is going to change things very soon either.

Boris has said this will be the last lockdown - do you think it 100 percent will be? I really hope so because can’t take any more of this shit!

Why doesn't your partner take your baby off you for an afternoon so you can take time out?

Are you meeting up with any friends?

I'm so sorry for your daughter BonnesVacances.

Really feel like I’m going to go mad if it doesn’t end soon.

I honestly do not know anyone who hasn't had a titfull. I don't have another lockdown in me though so I'd rather have this one eked out if necessary.
I would disagree about most of people getting it mildly. Yes, I do know people that have died from it but I know more who had it mildly and now are quite unwell with post viral illness.

He has taken the baby for a walk this afternoon, but only for an hour. I feel like there’s no escape from anything/everything.

James Cleverley later said they “could not guarantee” this would be the last lockdown

I really think it has to be

I feel your pain OP.
I'm having a baby in 8 weeks and I'm terrified of how my life might look, completely isolated at home.

@BonnesVacances I hear you, I see you

James Cleverley later said they “could not guarantee” this would be the last lockdown

Why would we need another lockdown when most people have been vaccinated?! This is what I don’t understand and why I’m starting to panic that there’s no end to this.

The message should be that once everyone has been vaccinated, we go back to normal life. But I’m not seeing that?!

Yes we’re all fed up.

I must have read dozens of threads like this.

Then go away and leave me to my rant!

It probably is the last lockdown. The vaccines probably do mean there is an end in sight; and there are different vaccines in development that will help if tweaks are needed.

There has been a lot of very good news recently. The vaccines are more effective and have been rolled out more quickly than we could have hoped.

I think we are in the home stretch now, that's by far the most likely scenario , it is just how we position ourselves to get there.

The government is wise if they do not give blanket assurances as they can't know the future for sure. But the signs are looking really good.

Take care of yourself x

To be fair to James Cleverley (as much as it pains me to do so), you must realise that the government can’t guarantee this will be the last lockdown. And I say that as someone who, like yourself, is utterly pig sick of it all.

I think we are in the home stretch now

I really, really, really hope you’re right.

This needs to end quickly. One in three adults are vaccinated now. We’re nearly a year since we had a “3 week lockdown to flatten the curve”. We’ve destroyed our children’s education, the economy and our mental health for a virus where the 1% death rate is killing people whose average age is over average life expectancy. It’s ridiculous

Surely if we’re told we STILL need restrictions after the vaccine then people will just stop complying?! I know I will.

I think it will be the last one OP because of the vaccines. However, if it turns out not the case I honestly can't see people abiding by another lockdown. There's only so much people can take, only so many billions to prop up the economy and only so long before businesses go completely down the pan. I honestly don't think another lockdown is feasible.

Also what I can’t understand is - why am I still not allowed to see my mum when she’s had her first dose of vaccine? Can anyone tell me that?
