Life is a contact sport and precious because it’s finite.For me it’s time the gov just dealt in facts. Tell the public what’s going on, what the risks are and then let us get on with it.
If you want to wear a mask when you go out then wear it. Don’t want to socialise in big groups then don’t do it. Want to social distance, then do it. Want to have the vaccine, have it. Don’t want the booster, don’t have it.
No other part of our life is micro managed by the government this way. The variant cycle is never ending, if that’s the case how do we ever get out of covid? This needs to end now. Let people make their own decisions and get on with our lives. Everything is a risk and covid is now just another risk on the list.
Data comes out saying Omicron more or less same as rest but more transmissible. Govt make masks mandatory & there's increasing bother as not everyone does it.
Feb gets here & rates drop. And repeat. Variants come & go and accepted normal death rate goes up. People crack on with annual vax.
Here to stay I think folks.
Reaction if China spawns another one might be another matter...
The Government is there on the behest of the people. It isn’t some benevolent guardian and we aren’t children. Everyone has had a chance to be triple jabbed (or will soon)Goverment has a duty of care
The public don't want a lockdown and it would be hated so not sure why a politician obsessed with popularity would do one unless absolutely necessary.
They must find some very weird people to do these opinion polls. Not one person I know wants another lockdown.I'm not sure about the 'public not wanting a lockdown'. Always pretty well supported on the opinion polls.
Depends who conducted them I guess, and who they ask. Don't think I know a single person who wants more restrictions. Not at the moment anyway.I'm not sure about the 'public not wanting a lockdown'. Always pretty well supported on the opinion polls.

I don't think many want a full lockdown, but just going by some of the comments on here, I reckon there's a lot who'd quite welcome a return to social distancing with stadiums & nightclubs shut, and pubs restricted
It's an odd one. When I speak to people here in the NE I rarely find any appetite for further lockdowns but I work with quite a number of people around the country and it seems to be the opposite when I speak to them, i.e. they usually support the idea of a lockdown whenever the figures go up. Not sure why this is.They must find some very weird people to do these opinion polls. Not one person I know wants another lockdown.
How do those things benefit people?They never admit it but its all about them. They pretend it's altruism and care for others but it's almost always self interest.

160 cases now in the UK.Omicron cases found everywhere in the UK in increasing amounts, will turn out it's been here for a while. Hospitalisations remain steady. Restrictions removed in a few weeks.

Of course the people who would want stadiums, nightclubs, pubs and restaurants shut are typically the ones who don't use them so it wouldn't affect them personally.
I note that Labour have called for more restrictions but haven't (yet) said that hospitality should close as they know how unpopular it would be and damaging to the economy,
Still not sure what the actual point is but never mind.Because they want their own fears to be completely alleviated and the things that are affected by social distancing aren't any detriment to their life.
