About time

Yes, but should Covid conditions worsen (hoping they don’t), then government and society might need to readjust back, however, given the impact of social media and recent harsh lock downs, I don’t know that society readjusting back is at all possible 🤞we’ve seen the worst of it

Wheres the scientific evidence? Repeated infections cause long term damage to organs. We are exposing our young children to a future of illness and disability. Covid is not a cold! Are we just collateral damage so the rich get richer! Covid is a multi organ illness

100% no is following it anyway

No

And the abcnews just post this nonsense… outcome mainstream media can piss off

It should never have been a thing. Along with mandatory jabs to keep your job. Remember when only ‘vaccinated’ people could go for picnics! Outrageous.

No.

No.

NO --- IT'S NOT .... we need to drive omicron transmission down as close as possible to COVIDZERO WHILE WE HAVE LIMITED WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY TO DO THIS . LETTING IT RIP is NOT THE ANSWER , NEVER FKG WAS.

NO

Interesting you pose the question on the tweet one way and the question on the actual ‘your say’ column the opposite. You wouldn’t be trying to achieve a certain result would you channel 9?

😂😅🥲😐😕🙁☹️😥😰😱

No! 20% of all admissions to UK hospitals over summer were COVID related meaning accident victims, stroke & cancer patients & others were denied treatment. Long term costs of LongCovid enormous. If it’s all down to personal responsibility, why enforce drink driving or drug laws?
