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?

@Oftenithinkaboutit your experience is anecdotal though. as is everyone's on this thread. The figures, however, that show how long people are waiting for ambulances, or how long the average wait is for a GP appointment, or the average wait in A&E, or the figures for how many peoples operations have been cancelled and how many are still awaiting appointments with specialists, and the predicted figure for how many cancers will have been missed during the period of not being able to see a GP face to face... they show a very different story to your anecdotal one.

Agreed.

But the fact that there are positive experiences, and the fact that there will be many. Means the use of the work “broken” is inaccurate. Added to which, it indicates every bit of it is.

Determined to be right, aren’t you.

Ok, you’re right. The NHS is just fine.

As you were

All I’m “right” about is that some people have very positive experiences with the NHS.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

The vast majority of HCPs in the NHS do an outstanding job for the patients in their care, unfortunately there are and have been for a long time issues with management and resources in the NHS that result in patients not receiving the treatment they need or waiting a long time for it.

The NHS does not have the funding resources for the number of people it is responsible for and has been in crisis for a long time now.
