I supported the premise of lockdown in March 2020. However, this thread is mental and worrying given what an overtly authoritarian government we have.

Boris should be personally refunding every one of those fines.

This is why people were scared into it so they did accept it and even grass others up. Thinking that a couple of people in the park was dangerous and could kill their nan.

Pictures of people in China collapsing in the street with people in Hazmat suits. It was all bollocks.

Then you had Piers Morgan on ITV every day telling everybody they are going to die (meanwhile he was still living as normal and so was his son).

People on here bleating about people talking to each other in supermarkets as well

Was a bit of an odd ramble. Says we have to remain cautious and that Omicron is not mild for everyone but then says he's removing the few mitigations we have in place and trusting people to make the right choices.

Happy everythings going. Will be nice to get into a routine of WFH and the office. I don't think I'd ever consider a job in the future that didn't at least offer me flexible working. Theres things to life other than working and WFH allows that little bit more flexibility. Really hoping the 4 day working week trials are positive, think it could be really good for us as a country.

Yeah, I think he said individual venues can make their own minds up on it essentially

I still cannot understand why face masks are recommended in certain settings, but not mandated. It makes it so much harder to message effectively when you do mandate them, and makes it so much harder to encourage people to wear them where they are recommended. Why on earth is that such a big deal for some people? Not like I'm allowed to go on a bus waving my cock about, is it.

There we go, tiny bit of restrictions while we reviewed the variant then all released before long.

Wasn't that bad at all.

Hopefully that is a sign of what will happen here. It is mental how much things are so different only a small distance away.

Was just thinking about this, for me plan B meant making sure I've got a mask in my pocket when I go out but really nothing else, didn't even get to use a covid pass as I missed the one game it counted for.

And the Covid pass didn't actually stop you doing anything, anyway.

Pomodoros mate and a timer app on my ipad called Toggl Tracker.

It's the only thing that keeps me productive. If i get 4 hours a day of actual project/focus work i think thats a win (excludes emails, other medial shit not worth tracking, checking SBT...)

Nope, just had to wear a mask briefly and show a bit of paper with a QR code on. That impinged on some people's human rights though apparently.

Love the new avatar @Deleted member 5849 . I'm flattered by your strange obsession.

Should I be checking my doorbell camera more regularly?

Exactly. I saw people complaining that it was an invasion of privacy as if it was full access to medical records and that kind of thing but it was really just something that either said 'I've had a vaccine' or 'I've had a test' and to be honest you could have presented a QR code that originally let you into Alton Towers for all anyone was actually paying attention
