I just can’t face any more lockdowns / restrictions.

[Dandy008]

Reading about the situation in Israel right now seems very worrying.

I don’t think I can face any more lockdowns or restrictions. I just can’t.

I’m so fed up of this shit.

DC is only 18 months old and I already feel like restrictions have had an impact on him.

I feel like this is never going to end.
We’ve been given a taste of freedom but I feel it’s only a matter of time before it’s taken away.

I don’t want to be negative Nancy, but I can’t help but be realistic of what is to come over these next few months.

I am totally and utterly out of fucks with it all now - I carry on for the kids so their lives are as normal as possible.

Just put it out of your mind and crack on. I was at a 100 person plus wedding at the weekend, no masks, no social distancing, no sign that anything had happened or was happening (apart from the fact it was postponed twice). It was absolutely bloody brilliant.

That sounds amazing! We’re heading to a wedding this weekend.
I’m feeling slightly nervous about it though.

Try just to take each day as it comes. Enjoy the freedoms we have now and do as much as you can with your DS. We can’t predict the future and we can’t always look at other countries as a predictor for the situation here.

Just crack on with your in life for you and your DC.
Lockdown isn't too bad, follow your own judgement and interpretation of rules, MH effects will be worse than civud effects if it carries on.

Advice on MN will be wear a mask for the rest of your life and don't ever go out or on holiday etc.

Inspiring article of folk who have lived through war and hunger. Everything passes. We are just living through a pandemic, but in a peaceful developed country.

It might help.

My thoughts exactly.

The wedding sounds amazing liongiraffe
I hope it gave you a big life
I’m all out of fecks too
Just continuing to live my life as normal
Like I’ve always done

You don’t have to comply. Okay you can’t go to places that are shut but nobody is ever going to prevent me from spending as much time as I choose with willing friends and family.

Yeah, same.

What is happening is Israel :( are we due more restrictions here?!

Just carry on with your life as normal. There’s no way I will stop seeing friends and family again. Don’t really care if I can’t go in a shop or restaurant but will be carrying on my social life as normal.

Agree with those who say carry on as normal. OP, you mention feeling nervous about the prospect of attending a wedding. There are many reasons I'd feel apprehensive about this, but Covid wouldn't be one of them.

Just crack on. I continued to see people during the previous lockdowns, and would do the same if there's another one. If there is another one, when pretty much everyone has either had Covid or two vaccinations, there's no hope for us, and I hope that enough people would ignore it to make it impossible to enforce.

Is there something specifically causing such a surge in Israel? Have they vaccinated as many people as us? I read they have started boosters of Pfizer for the over 50’s.
