Priti probably thinks behaviour like that should be reserved for your staff, not journalists.
As for the actual thread subject, it's vile. A bunch of ignorant morons screaming at the sky because they can't accept what we've all had to accept this past year, that the only way out of this pandemic is through it, through lockdowns, through wearing masks and social distancing.

We're literally almost there, the majority of places are open, you can go about your life with very little limits really at this point and we're a matter of weeks off seeing the end in sight. What exactly are they after? Is it really that arduous to wear a mask?

There is no way out, apart from yearly jagging the arms of the entire nation...we simply cant lockdown time and time again, we simply cant expect people to wear masks for the rest of their lives...no parties or group gatherings ihout social distancing either you say...that's not ever going to work.
The only other way out is a cure...do you have that?
