Definitely agree! My gran is 76 shes totally fed up with it all now!

I've just read online a man has set up a business ans employed his family on zero hour contracts (hed found that if he rang the pub to arrange dinner he was told no but as soon as he mentioned it was for work. No limits and it was fine to book!

Also people who had covid upto 28days before dieing (even though negative when died) are still listed as a covid death

The numbers are higher because they are testing more and more people

My inlaws for their jobs alone get tested every week and extra test if they have symptoms

I'm not giving up Christmas for NO ONE! 😂 It is a time that families come together so that's how it will stay for us. Like others have said there are other things that can kill you and you got to "live each day to it's fullest" (my motto! I have chinese writing tattoo at the top of my back) The so called government can do one as far as I'm concerned 🖕🏼. The figures etc aren't accurate at all because they are recording people who haven't even died of covid! It's being made to look so much worse in the media xx

I also get what some people are saying here that theyd rather not have one christmas with family incase they get it and die. But noone is promised next year coronavirus or not. Christmas is family time for me regardless 😊 xx

We are going into tier 3 tomorrow. I will 100% be seeing my family for Christmas! My kids have all agreed (older ones) that we will spend less on Christmas and will pay a fine if it comes down to it as Christmas is about family and spending time together. There is not a chance they will keep me away from them! Well unless one of us is ill of course xx

Even if we was put on lockdown here in Brighton I would still have my family round. They wont be able to stop everybody and we have all listened to the rules since march I think christmas is an exception. Noone should be on their own at christmas, as long as you're not having partys etc. Xx

I really don't think people will sacrifice christmas/being with their loved ones this year or ever. Personally i think if both sides are ok with "taking the risk" then that's completely your choice.

There was a debate on Good Morning Britain yesterday. 51% of people they surveyed said they would break lockdown to see family at Christmas.

My personal opinion is that the virus needs to run its course now. It's still being hyped up in the media, numbers are being falsified, other deaths I.e heart attacks are being marked as covid deaths & flu is being included in the daily covid figures.
Can't stay cooped up like chickens forever
