We have been like this for nearly a year. However, because if an inept government and people continuingly flouting rules, we will never get a handle on it. They continue to make the same mistakes. As soon as cases start to fall, they open everything, then blame the public.

The virus is scary & I truly feel sorry for the people in lockdown. Sadly it’s necessary even though one feels freedom is taken away. Hopefully the vaccination will help saving lives💕 staysafe WearAMask StayHomeSaveLives

No more lockdowns!!!!

'Most people in the United Kingdom have been living under lockdown for the past year, hoping that their sacrifice would be rewarded by easing up of some restrictions - caused by the gov arse elbow approach to pandemic management' there, fixed that for you.

Our third national lockdown and once again, our incompetent, murderous Prime Minister was too late to lockdown. He’s already talking about lifting restrictions by mid-Feb whilst our death toll nears 100k

We have to worst death rates in the world per person by population thanks to an incompetent Tory Government.

In Wales we've been in lockdown since Saturday before Christmas. I think by UK you might mean England?

We’re all sick of it, but we must do whatever is necessary to control this virus. Personally the lockdown measures are not tight enough. Roll on everyone being vaccinated. But our government needs to be more proactive.
