This has been happening over the weekend and today in the big citys..
doh doh doh doh doh doh
You're not getting as bolluxed by covid in the Netherlands as we are in the UK.

It shouldn't take much imagination to realise it would be a really good idea to avoid what we have.

Is it the notion of a curfew which specifically upsets people? I wonder if it feels more dictatorial than other types of restriction.
Jac people are fedup we are under lockdown in one form or amother from last year,
And this curfew just push people over the top.

Apart from shoping for food and work there is notting more,,
We can go out to exercise once a day and we can have a 'support bubble' joining another household if we live on our own, or on our own with dependents.

Apart from that it's only going out to work if we can't work from home, or food shopping.

It will probably be Easter at the earliest before our restrictions are lifted again. It's possible, because there is a seasonal nature to covid, we won't have restrictions lifted until the summer like last year. By then our vaccination programme should have progressed so the most vulnerable are protected.

We don't seem to be having the same level of objection as ther countries.

There are probably many reasons for that: we're very protective of our health service and want it to get better, not worse; we have an almost reasonable social security system; we have a history of 'the (collective) war effort' in our culture.

We are also getting clobbered so most of us have been personally touched by covid. Experiencing it, or losing people give us an awareness of the reality.

We don't have a curfew. If I want to do my shopping, or go out walking late at night when noone is around, that's sensible, not a violation.

I believe Canada was none too happy wth their curfew either, despiite having more daytime freedoms than us at the time it was introduced. A curfew is a poor psycholgical technique because it sounds and feels more like a political tactic, than a practical one. It's traditionally used to supress behaviour, not an illness.
Yeah, like grandma's fret about their own demise. laugh

Du idiotisches Kind. roll eyes
The whole saga violates so many natural drives it's not just about a hug. It violates the parents first duty in nature to look after your own children, and it does not want to hurt or injure other children.
Apart from work and shoping for food , I just stay at home wanted to clean the garden today but its too cold and wet ,my darthers and grand are ok,

There was no North Sea Jazz Festival no singing in the church,no concrets .
Seems like the world just stop.Wanted to start my cook book with my dauther in Rotterdam, this also on hold.
My other dauther wanted to get married in Jamaica from last year also on hold..

I think the young people have had enough.
Our NHS workers have had enough. They are exhausted and many are experiencing symptoms of PTSD, but the sick keep coming.

The age of people being hospitalised and dying is getting lower. It was going through schools before Christmas, but children seemed immune in the beginning.

Everybody is fed up of the restrictons, mental health issues are on the rise, unemployment high and it's generally a right bloody mess.

Perhaps it would have been better to vaccinate young people and children first. dunno
Hang in there, jac....bouquet
I'm good thanks, Love.

Isolated, unemployed, but picking up after long haul symptoms and soon to be getting access to to some free and funky online courses.

There is light at the end of the tunnel for those of us who haven't lost loved ones.
Almost bed time now,

Times are changing , my heart is sad to see what is happening here,
Maybe the woorld is changing.?
A feeling like every-thing comes to a stop., < When the Earth stood Still >



Well change is always happening
