No explanation needed. Just a yes or no.

For me it's a hard NO.

@RichTeaRichTea

Going forward I can't say what a proportional response would be. Doing nothing and doing something both come with drawbacks so it's a case of choosing between two evils. I understand the reason of the last lockdown so I think I would understand the purpose of another one, how many months it's been is irrelevant to me, its a virus it doesn't understand that its overstayed its welcome. I think it's been evident that Boris (the government in general) is not a fan of lockdowns, and if medical advisers and scientists have strong armed them into implementing them, then I trust they have good reason. And I would also think they have weighed up the pros and cons of locking down or not. I know that doesn't answer the question but I'd imagine theres lots of talks going on about a proportional response, not just in our country but all over. If the world leading epidemiologist, sociologists, scientists etc. Deem it as a proportional response then I wouldn't challenge that.

Yes. If it falls over Christmas then I would still see my parents, but I'd comply. Cases are bonkers here.

Well Boris has said no plans to add more restrictions prior to Christmas, so on that note I wish you all a happy and safe Christmas and New Year.

Would rather it before Xmas. Now the schools will pay for it

Not over Christmas. All adults triple jabbed, and nobody’s CEV, so assuming we all test negative on Christmas Eve, plans won’t change.

After Boxing Day, I’m not bothered.

I wish you luck. We’re all triple jabbed and we tested positive for on Sunday. Christmas is ruined (our second Christmas that our 1 year old hasn’t seen her grandparents). We are isolating as we ought to and are released from isolation on the 29th. If we’re in lockdown then I really don’t care - we’re going to my parents’. All triple jabbed and with us just out of 10 days isolation and chock-full of antibodies - fuck the rules, quite frankly.

No

Given that cases have risen massively over last week or so, yet deaths rates are stable or falling and there are 133 people Less in hospital today than yesterday, and hospital admissions are up approx 90 people a cross the whole of the UK on last week.. I think further restrictions look disproportionate and I would not comply

@Northernsoullover

I will but not because I'm being told to. If public health experts provide information that it's that bad out there then I will take steps to protect myself.
Yes. Same here.
Nowhereelsetogo90 · 20/12/2021 23:40

Not entirely. I’ll follow rules about restaurants etc as won’t have a choice and I’ll avoid meeting friends but I won’t avoid my parents or isolate my DSD from her grandparents.

WeatherwaxOn · 20/12/2021 23:50

Over Xmas no. We are limiting our contact with people, seeing most vulnerable (and most vaccinated) first.
If it is a delay to starting things in January, yes. Will have seen everyone and can home school if necessary.

A friend is really suffering with their MH whilst helping out their friend currently undergoing chemo. They need some respite and we are closest thing to family they have.

Shall keep lateral flow testing, handwashing, masks etc.
