They should probably ban milk.
Unfortunately, 300 days in, I am neither mentally capable of adhering to restrictions, nor do I have the trust any more to follow through if I did. For me, it's the risk of death and/or a chronic condition, or the…
The problem of course being that after extreme isolation and/or social breakdown, even those of us that know full well how large those numbers are start to snap. Approximately 0.2-0.3% of the UK population has died due…
So come up with a timeline that's not made up, then. In the absence of Government leadership, I've had to do it for myself - I have a set date beyond which I will no longer follow social distancing. If I didn't have…
I'm simply refusing the concept that my mental health is "opt-in". If you don't want to interact with me, that's cool. If you want to ban large gatherings and restrict smaller ones for a period of time, I get it. When…
300 days of restrictions. If your country is less restrictive, I'm happy for you. It's been illegal for me to have a friend over for 100 days. It's illegal to have a picnic on a park bench. So yeah, I'm not doing this…
Outside without an excuse. It's illegal in the UK to take a picnic to a park bench. I'm sorry for your loss. But no, it's not drunk driving, it's existing as a human being. Best of luck.
Nah, me staying inside for years on end with no or very limited social contact is less safe for me. It guarantees a horrible outcome (psychosis), versus a slight risk of a bad outcome. I'm not going to put myself into a…
Awesome. I'm opting out anyway. "What are you in for, son"? "Being outside without an excuse." Clown world.
I give a shit, just not to the level that I'm willing to kill myself for the cause.
Thank you. I don't know what I have to say to explain this to these people. Maybe it's not quite explainable. Restrictions haven't pushed their buttons in the same way. The only way to get this across is to describe all…
> Why wait a month or two? Because I have just about enough left in me, and by then, in the UK we will have vaccinated the groups which make up ~99% of preventable mortality. At that point, the moral argument of "go…
It's a no from me. I'd rather we go back in time and not normalize draconian, authoritarian restrictions on everyday life.

When I see comments like this it reminds me just how different I am to many people. It feels like I'm an alien trying to understand a new civilisation. I used to have "sex" and the like, but it was only to experience…
Yep, the UK went full authoritarian pretty much straight out of the gate, it's been illegal for me to have anyone in my house for 97 days now (and was also illegal or heavily restricted a number of times before that)
UK Government 2020: It seems that most people are catching coronavirus in private homes. makes pubs shit to be in with distancing rules and masks etc people start to socialise at home more It seems that most people are…
Maybe we should make your preferred hobbies illegal with strict enforcement. Fuck you, buddy.
Different countries, and different situations. Living in a big old house in the country with your family? Your life is probably basically the same as it always was. Potentially better, depending on the work situation.…
Vaccination has literally fuck all to do with this. Our restrictions are randomly generated. It's illegal for me to have a friend over because they made it illegal. We have adverts trying to scare people into working…
UK. I don't know, indefinite lockdown. It's currently illegal to sit on a park bench. I'll do it anyway, of course, but it might not be legal. [redacted] 97 days since it was last legal for me to have a friend over for…
The way things are going at the moment, I'll have to emigrate to somewhere "sane" like Belarus in order to even meet another person.
