It was a weirdly peaceful time and we had unexpectedly good weather.

Although I was fortunate not to be working from an upstairs flat whilst watching toddlers. That must have been a nightmare.

Yes we were very fortunate. Anyone who lived alone and was working from home or furloughed must have had a really difficult time.

I despised lockdown. It was a moronic thing to do. The advice should’ve been for the vulnerable to consider staying at home but for the rest of us to carry on. It was incredibly cruel to close schools down and has had a huge impact on children. I know of so many people, who still suffer with mental health problems as a result of social isolation and Lockdown.

We should never, ever follow stupid communist rules invented in China.

"Always makes me laugh at how people react to the subject.

Imagine what would have happened had there not been a lockdown and many more people had died?

You only need to see how much cold and flu cases dropped during this period to see how it worked in regards infection control.

OK it wasn't perfect and I'd like to think valuable lessons were learned, the most important one being:

If you are leading the country LEAD don't be swayed but all the bullshit online conspiracy nutjobs.

Do what must be done and if people don't like it tough shit.

They were never going to get t right but I'd like to belive they tried.

The selfish " it was only a cold " brigade really have no clue.

I'm not going to repeat my personal experience but it wasn't good.

But it's just one of those things like the blackouts during ww2.

A necessary evil."

I have strong feelings about it. Sadly lost my mum despite the pointless "lock down" and then not able to say goodbye to her. Which I appreciate increasingly I still feel very angry about. Very very sad time in our country's recent history of decline....despite it only being a lock down in name, it was used as an excuse to totally remodel human engagement and very much not for the better.

The title of the old Irish song. ‘The Waxies’ Dargle’ actually sounds as if it could be a medicinal cure!

But who knew if they were vulnerable? Perfectly healthy people died from Covid19. All your advise would have done is allowed for more people to catch it faster and for all the hospitals to clog up. By staying at home, we helped ease the pressure on the already creaking NHS as only those who ignored the rules were exposed.

I agree about the problems it caused some people’s mental health, I see it daily. But it would have been far worse if everyone started ignoring the advise and dropping dead all at once instead of dying in manageable waves, slowly over a few years. Which is a horrible thing to say but that’s what happened.

I agree that anything else the Tory government says should be taking with a pinch of bullshit.

I won’t lie, as a swinger and as someone who has to see people multiple times a day as part of their job, I realised during lockdown that I really effing hate people! Especially when doing my food shopping!

I also hate now that when I’m on a night shift I can’t get any decent food as Covid stopped the majority of 24 hour opening supermarkets so I’m left with overpriced petrol stations when I have the munchies at 3am and need sugar to keep me awake!

There is no such thing as a lockdown. Because mandatory is a made up word under real Law.

Germ theory is also DISPROVEN and not one 'virus' has ever been isolated.

These are facts I'm stating. Go search...and that doesn't mean google top result.

I'm not going to see someone still feeling rockerfeller funded crap relevant. You're just keeping it in the collective

Quite a few words there but rather lacking in meaningful substance, especially relating to problems like the pandemic. Do you accept that viruses exist and are also the causes of many of our infections, that causes us to get illness? Do you accept the COVID 19 viral infective illness?

A few deniers have thrown material around here, since the pandemic started. It's worth looking back through the 6 years of virus forum history archives, as some won't have seen what's been here before.

Maybe no lockdown, but price of things and reduction of some items on shelves, due to availability, because of Mr Tango Trump and his “ I am and I Can do anything “ 😡

I enjoyed my lockdown.

Spending an hour in the park, walking the dog, being able to use a camera again.

No one crowding me in the supermarket check outs, having weekly online catch ups with work colleagues.

When I did go back to work, because we were classed as essential workers, having the roads to myself.
