Pretty annoying reading this as many people see their business suffer due to lockdowns designed to protect you and your generation.
The amount of people delayed cancer treatments and screening due to the nhs focusing on protecting the old, the amount of people being made redundant all over the country due to lockdowns and then reading that some of the people it’s all been for are actually completely ignoring any advice and boasting about it on the internet.
You should be blaming the government not the old.The amount of people delayed cancer treatments and screening due to the nhs focusing on protecting the old, the amount of people being made redundant all over the country due to lockdowns and then reading that some of the people it’s all been for are actually completely ignoring any advice and boasting about it on the internet.
The old did not ask for businesses to close, the old did not ask hospitals to stop treating cancer patients, the old did not ask the Government to piss billions up the wall.

There is someone in our village just like John. Absolutely no compliance with any of the rules / laws. He has been called out on it several times but it has no effect.
Definitely the village idiot.
If he hasn't died, then perhaps you are the idiot for complying with nonsensical arbitrary laws.Definitely the village idiot.

Maybe, maybe not; neither we, nor any other Nation can be certain how many were infected, and over what period. My guess is almost everybody, over the past year, but a guess is all it is.
Your guess is that we've all had it already?El stovey said:

Here's a 70 year old who ignored the first lockdown, and will ignore any subsequent one. Everyone I know in my age group, apart from the few about to drop for non-CV19 reasons, has the same attitude, the extremely vulnerable aside, it's only authoritarians, skivers, and idiots who have taken any notice of the government.
Older people have a greater chance of dying at any point than younger people, regardless of pandemics, real or imagined.

With Swedish ICU admissions and deaths approaching zero despite no lockdown there is a good argument that lockdown and the associated public fearmongering and subsequent economic catastrophe was the most expensive policy mistake in UK history.
All we had to do was isolate the elderly and vulnerable and do the social distancing handwashing etc.

America is adding to the data set too, and it will be equally interesting to see how that plays out. Yes, many people are being infected at the moment, but if those infections do not equate to more deaths then maybe it isn't as bad as expected.

Surely you're not suggesting everyone in his age group is selfish?

But if it is true, If they have the same attitude as him, yes they are selfish.

Im not going to wear a face mask. I sell to shops, I have seen plenty of customers over the last month, only one person has worn a mask. He was Shielding. It’s his choice and I respect that. But I’m not prepared to wear a mask. It’s simply not right, it’s not my culture, I want to see people properly that’s why I go and visit them rather than selling over the phone or email. My job is about Human relationships and interactions. If we succumb to mask wearing then it’ll embed in our society and will become ubiquitous as it is in The Far East. I feel it will be the thin edge of the wedge. Many people have discussed their fear that the hand shake will never return. Already they feel that shaking hands is dirty and that we may never regain its regular use. Society is changing, it takes 2 weeks to form a habit.....this is why I will not wear a mask.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-53365062
