Scared about lockdown restrictions being lifted

Yes maybe I wasn't precise in what I said earlier covid itself is not bulshit but what polititians do about it and all this media affairs and this unreasonable feer that is bullshit I won't give up my normal life because of common panic

Hi I'm sorry for what you've suffered covid exists and it's a terrible thing it's tragedy that people die I don't think we shouldn't fight with virus howewer I think that emotions should not cloud our judgment our fear is something that those in power can use against us we should prepare our healthcare system for this disease so that those who get sick can have suitable treatment howewer we must never allow people in power to break the law and take our human rights and personal freedom this is not an option they must not be allowed to disorganize life of society because when we let them do that they won't have any restrains to do it again on a larger scale it is social engeneering they are slowly instill in us submission they are also cinical about it in my country when the lockdown started they said it will take 2 weeks to month when this time came they said another 2 weeks and another and another the government has no qualms in their lies the lockdown lasted 9 months I'm sorry I will not obey people who are more stupid than I am my not wearing mask is an objection to all this I do not urge anyone not to wear a mask do what you like but I think social engeneering was very successful if it came to that you want to repress my freedom of speech like in a totalitarian state

I respect that you have other opinion than me

Best wishes

Hey perhaps I will tell you how important is freedom of speech to our society

"the freedom of speech is the mechanism by which we keep our society functioning it's in consequence of free speech and ability to speak that people can put their finger on problems articulate what those problems are solve them and come to a consensus and we risk losing that now you can say there should be reasonable restrictions on free speech and that's the case you shouldn't be allowed to yell fire in a crouded theather and reasonable people can discuss and debate what these restrictions should be but we can't debate the fact that putting restrictions on free speech is something dangerous beyond comprehension and that's what we're faced with" - Jordan Peterson 

This is an extremely dangerous message and should be deleted!! As someone who has seen, with their own eyes, what this virus can do, and who knows several doctors and nurses working on the front line, I can assure you that this is *not* like any other disease. I have no idea what the news has to say about this, as I don’t read/watch it, I get my information first hand. In the UK, there has been over 120,000 excess deaths. So, either there's a very busy assassin on the loose, or this virus is a deadly as the doctors and scientists are telling us. I know which I think is true! This kills in a horrible fashion, it is not a nice death. One literally drowns in their own bodily fluid (unless they're *lucky* and have a heart attack or die from one or more of their other organs shutting down). An ever increasing number of people who survive the virus will suffer lifelong chronic illnesses; not only respiratory based, but all the other major systems to, including neurological. To brag that you don't wear a mask just to spite your government is disgusting! What about the other innocent people you could have passed this deadly virus onto, just because you have a beef with your government? Other people obviously don't matter to you. Yes, there are other diseases, but they haven't killed anywhere near the same number of people in the same time frame! Don't give advice on something you obviously know nothing about, especially advice as dangerous as yours is! 

I don't want things to go back to how they were. Lockdown took away a lot of uncertainty and demands of every day life. I had a taste of how life should be for me and i loved it. Now things are easing I'm feeling my body and mind and stress levels are returning to pre covid. But I have the advantage of an AS diagnosis now so can be more mindful. 

I am actually very glad but not impressed that lockdown restrictions which were often illegal themselves are being erased The situation was not normal I wasn't even able to go to swimming pool and I've been once expelled from shopping mall because I was eating something from KFC The government in our country in Poland allowed themselves too much 9 months of house sitting i think it would be no exaggaration if i said that it is totalitarian state as I said i'm not impressed the covid restrictions should have been abolished completely and we should go back to normal lives it's horrible that they have taken our freedom completely and when they are giving us back only some of these freedoms people are so happy they forgot the freedoms they stolen from us in the first place

This covid thing is bulshit for me and the restrictions are increadibly stupid covid is disease as any other it's terrible that people die but they die on other diseases and ilnesses too and noone cares about that what's more the covid is a virus celebrity it draggs so much attention that other ilnesses are often ignored like cancer heart ilnesses people are dying on that and no one cares because everyone pay attention to covid the stupid measures were taken before they start treat you they must check if you have covid and at this time you die stupid i don't wear a mask to spite the cynical government i don't care if it helps I don't have time for this and I advise you all to start normal lives 

I'm not scared, more trepidatious. I worry because people are acting like everything is OK now, that the virus has gone, most people are vaccinated, so there's no risk. That sort of thinking and behaviour will bring the next wave on. I was quite content during lockdown. I've always preferred my own company, and I enjoyed not getting random sellers/JWs/other-unwanted-visitors at my door. The only thing I missed was walking further afield and caching. I was listening to a scientist the other day and he was saying that the new variant is growing exponentially at the moment, not very fast yet, but growing nonetheless, and we need to still be safe and adhere to the rules or we'll be back to square one before we know it. But people aren't sticking to the rules, so that is a worry. People lean over you in shops or stand right behind you in the queue and it pees me right off! I'm immunocompromised so other people wearing masks and everyone social distancing has helped me feel safer. I personally like wearing a mask because it feels like I'm hidden, and I like being hidden, so I'll continue to wear one until I feel the threat has gone (I know I don't wear it for my protection, but for other people's, but it does give a *little* protection to the wearer....). It's weird time, for sure. I don't think anything will ever be *normal* again, I think certain things have changed forever. 

I wouldn't say I was scared but I've settled into a "lockdown routine". I work from home now, I can order anything I need online, all my events are now online and my local area is great for walking. I've no desire to go back to the old normal. 

I'm still hesitant about travelling to do "stuff" - and I generally find the less people the better (anytime I travel or I go out to the nearest town it's headphones on to filter everything else out). Even though I've had my second vac I'm cautious because of the new variant and navigating crowds of people. I think it'll take me a while to relax again go to events where there are people (I'm a fan of comedy nights, theatre, talks - that kind of stuff). I think I said on another thread, I'm getting ready to mix with the world again but it'll be at a nice slow place.

I'm in no rush. 

With the vaccine roll-out and the numbers (new cases, hospitalizations) as low as they are I am worried about people getting caught up in a false sense of security - a lot of things feel normal now. (Hard to believe a year ago that toilet roll was a rare item, or there were queues round the block for hand sanitizer). 

Hi Chris - Yes, I feel this way also. Wearing a mask, has helped me a lot. I feel secure, and can zone people out. But with the restriction's ending. The more people are not going to follow the guidelines, makes myself stay indoors more
