You can't, because you made it about freedom, and in a free society that's all that matters innit...

Everyone has access to what the numbers are doing at the moment, so saying this is the right time for freedom is verging on ghoulish.

don't put words in my mouth. It's a common left wing trait to want to dictate what the masses should do and how they should think, so i'm not surprised by your comments

This is insane. Left/right wing has nothing to do with this discussion, but you've used it as a way to try and ad hominem your way out of it.

A dangerous and reckless government with some equally as uncaring dangerous supporters too. I'd say that too as to whatever government was responsible for this mess all through on the pandemic. Plus this recklessness now. Apart from the one thing they got right, the vaccine rollout. Which they left to local authorities and the NHS in the main thankfully. Let's see how they get ALL the boosters out they now admit will be needed from the Autumn To ensure CONTINUED protection as much as possible. |

Poster a makes a post about libertarian freedoms and folks wanting forever lockdowns Poster b questions why we don't apply this to all areas Posters A and C claim false equivalence. It's a reading issue for those claiming it's a false equivalence.

There is nothing wrong with it and you can't keep forcing people to stay indoors otherwise we are heading the way of North Korea.
People say we shouldn't open up but when is the right time? Covid is here to say so you want to spend your lives doing nothing? People have a right to live their life how they want. One thing I dont agree with is how there is a lack of rules, Nightclubs should be open to those who are double jabbed or have a negative result and that should be made the law but Boris has done this for a reason so he can place blame on the youngsters when we hit another spike bit wont mention filling out stadiums and what not.

Perhaps this is the best time to open up some venues.
I do think if we don’t do it now while people will be outdoors more then we have missed an opportunity. At the same time, I think the wearing of masks in shops and public transport should be kept. On a personal level, we will still be very careful who we let visit etc and won’t be mixing in large crowds. |

However, I agree that removing all restrictions is stupid, and we're basically experimenting with peoples lives and potential new variants at this point.

Nightclubs were recommended to introduce negative tests or vaccine certs, they declined, so they have gone from 0 to 90 however that said I am not reliant on nightclub income for survival so it would be easy for me to preach to them what to do, Clubs are open across Europe and some countries do not have the vac level the UK is at, there is no right or wrong here, we have to try to get some semblance of normality back, these businesses have been closed for 16 months and many of the young were partying in their homes anyway

If it was purely down to individual risk, I'd have no issue with a full open up, as the only victims would be themselves, but that's not the case, and especially as we're learning more about long covid. I guess it comes down to whether we believe the rights of young people and those like myself who are a bit older, trump the rest of society.

yeah ok maybe i complained out of worries, but i hope cases won't spiral out of control
if it helps ease your worries, my nation's new cases seems to be levelling off, and also going down, for three days in a row as of today but good to hear that some at least continue with masks, distancing |

they had a club owner in leeds on the news, he was really emotional at having his business back after 16 months, and I can understand that.
