Page 2 | How many of you will comply?

I am interested to know if people will comply or not if they bring in Restrictions again about not mixing households, not seeing family or lockdowns etc again. So many people I've spoken to are pretty much all of the same mindset of 'Fu#k that I'm not not seeing my family again, enough is enough and we have to get on with our lives now' I also read this a lot on comments of articles where people are saying no they won't do it again and not see their loved ones or be told what to do over Christmas etc. What are everyone's overall feelings as things stand right now?

MapleMay11 · 21/10/2021 10:58

Yes, I'd happily comply.

fantasmasgoria1 · 21/10/2021 10:58

I will not comply.

fitsandgiggles · 21/10/2021 10:59

Nope we've done our bit I had a baby in lockdown and he didn't meet family for months. Won't do it anymore

Marmite27 · 21/10/2021 11:01

I will not comply.

Thank goodness we didn’t last year either, it turned out to be several family members last Christmas alive.

MintJulia · 21/10/2021 11:02

I'd see my eldest sister because I know she is as careful as I am, isolate for a week beforehand etc. The rest of my family, I'd probably connect via video link or meet outside.

We all have 18 months experience of covid. I'm happy to take responsibility for my own actions.

My 78 year old Aunty committed suicide in April. We hadn’t seen her for 8 months. She lived alone and wouldn’t break the Covid rules. It was devastating. To hear that the Prime Minister broke his own restrictions was such a low blow. Our lives have changed so much, mental illness, family members taking to their own smaller bubbles that we don’t have the get-togethers/large gatherings we used to pre-covid so yes, I imagine we will stick to restrictions, out of new habits rather than choice.

This I know of 3 people committed suicide so no I won't comply sick of saving the fucking NHS !

But were permitted to last Christmas?

Anyway loving fact that so many of with same approach

bellsbuss · 21/10/2021 11:03

No I won't be complying

LarkspurLane · 21/10/2021 11:03

I'd comply with a plan B type thing masks, covid passes, etc. But I'll make my own decisions now of who I see socially and who I have in my house.

BlowDryRat · 21/10/2021 11:06

No I won't put my DC or myself through that again. I'm double-jabbed, had covid 2 weeks ago and will take the booster when I'm offered it. I'm the only CEV person in the family.

Worldgonecrazy · 21/10/2021 11:08

I will Comply at the same level of compliance as those making the rules.

LillianGish · 21/10/2021 11:08

I live in a country where vaccine passports and compulsory mask wearing in crowded venues are keeping numbers down. I really don't understand why people in the UK are so reluctant to take these simple precautions if it means life can continue as normal and the health service can continue to treat people with non-Covid related problems. Where I live, those who don't wish to comply have a choice - stay away from all those place requiring passports and masks in a kind of self-imposed semi-lockdown. This seems to be the right way round and it's working well in terms of Covid statistics.

Without saying your country - how do we know that numbers are actually being kept down

Chaletschooltriplet · 21/10/2021 11:10

I will probably comply, I have elderly parents and a cv sister and i work in healthcare. As a pp said it's fine if people don't want to comply it's their lookout but the cries of 'sheeple' towards people who do comply is getting a bit boring. No-one should be abused because they choose to wear a mask and follow guidelines to keep themselves and their families safe. People who comply are are using their personal choice, just as people who don't comply are also using their personal choice. I don't get the anger. If it's not affecting you move on and find something else to moan about!

siestalady · 21/10/2021 11:12

Thing is, for those who say they'll comply, where does it end? The first couple of lockdowns were all about buying time before we had vaccines. Well now we have vaccines. And they're great, but they're not perfect. As far as I can see, we've pretty much played all our cards and have no significant new solutions that'll solve covid. Lockdowns just enable the government to continue to under-resource the NHS.

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 21/10/2021 11:13

Not this time.

My dad is getting more frail by the day and has just been diagnosed with cancer.

Having a lovely cosy Christmas with him this year.

BlessedBeTheFruitCake · 21/10/2021 11:13

I’d comply, I have a vulnerable 8 year old so too young to be vaccinated. DM and MIL are both having treatment for cancer too.

Anyone saying this?

Reallybadidea · 21/10/2021 11:15

I will because I'm quite keen on there being an ambulance/hospital bed if one of my loved ones needs it.

Geamhradh · 21/10/2021 11:15

I'm in Italy and we are still mask wearing where SD isn't possible, have vaccine passes etc so the only thing that would be reintroduced here would be no mingling over Christmas like last year.
If it helped to keep our numbers as low as they currently are, then yes.

secretllama · 21/10/2021 11:16

I won't comply. I'm not letting the government decide when I can and can't see people.

NeverTheHootenanny · 21/10/2021 11:17

I would probably do as I have done throughout and pick and choose which rules to comply with based on what seems sensible to me. E.g. I never bothered with silly rules like only being allowed to go for one walk a day, not sitting down outside, etc.

Would probably go along with not seeing friends indoors but would meet outdoors and not worry too much about group size, and would continue to see close family (ILs) indoors for childcare and social reasons.
I would probably not be able to see my family though as they live far away.

appplesanddpearrs · 21/10/2021 11:17

I'd be ok with wearing a mask inside public places but that's about it.

I refuse to give up any more of my life end my kids lives for a bunch of bellends that can't even run a bath nevermind a country.

We have had covid. We are vaccinated. We have been patient. But I'm done.

Tana433 · 21/10/2021 11:18

I will not be complying, no.

sharpenyourknives · 21/10/2021 11:19

No, we won't comply. We did so previously and now have a DD with severe mental health problems. It is so damaging to lock people up.
