"Actually I think things are very much back to normal I think x" Really? Most people still walking around the supermarket in masks, screens and signs still everywhere, having to show your 'COVID status' to get into events, children now being coerced into taking the job, still virtually impossible to get a face-to-face doctor's appointment... And let's face it, restrictions will be reintroduced in the winter at the first sign of our beloved NHS being "overwhelmed". | |||

"Exactly 2 years ago I stopped clubbing and socialising. At the the time I had a funny feeling the coming winter was going to bring a very bad flu epidemic. 2 years on and the world is a totally different even alien place. It won't be the same again I think." Well if things don’t change , they’ll stay the same  | |||

And let's face it, restrictions will be reintroduced in the winter at the first sign of our beloved NHS being "overwhelmed". " You must have a very poor GP. Mine is even easier to see now than they were pre-covid. I send them a short description of my symptoms via the NHS app, which links to a service that sends a message to my surgery. Within half a working day one of the doctors phones me for a short chat, then either directly diagnoses me and sends a prescription directly to my local pharmacy, or gives me an appointment to see them in person the next day. They even got a three day turn around with an opinion from a specialist, by sending info and pics via computer - something that formerly might have taken a month on a waiting list and a day off work for an hospital appointment. Your doctor needs to get updated into the twenty first century! | |||

I find it funny how people who think everyone should still wear masks now but before the pandemic never used to wear them when the common cold or flu was prevalent." I only made an observation based on the supermarkets I frequent. You are talking about the rich and the elite who most probably do not even set foot at the places I shop. Now this is funny. You have to start thinking without putting on every argument the social inequalities because this clouds your judgement. I do not feel uncomfortable, I am double vaccinated. I am reasonable. Wearing a mask and practicing social distancing af a closed space like a supermarket during a pandemic is more reasonable than staying at home. I am getting on with life. I am vaccinated and I go out. And you, who probably advocate to get on with life, you suggest that people stay at home if they feel uncomfortable? It is like you are contradicting yourself. | |||

"If you don’t want your life to return to “normal” then it won’t. Seems to me the vast majority do want it and that’s exactly what has happened. " Exactly. This is why the vast majority got vaccinated. We are doing a favour to the rest who claim they want to live free. Cause otherwise it would be very long until people would return to some kind of normality. | |||

You do not develop it. Maybe you do though as a side effect ot the covid vaccine 
Many of the people who get vaccinated understand that the covid risk is higher than the risk of having complications or die from the common cold or the flu. And many of the people who have compassion and empathy care about other people vaccinated or unvaccinated, young or old, healthy or not from contacting the covid virus because of them.
As for the flu, I am going to get the vaccine as an extra protection. For myself. Not because I want to protect others. However, the covid situation taught me to a few lessons and next time I have a common cold or flu I will try to be more considerae towards my colleagues by wearing a mask.

So the fewer wearing them the less point in wearing one. And I do feal we are on and likes slope. | |||
