Restrictions you moan about during covid = what you care for

Post Reply New Topic

I'm not saying the restrictions are unnecessary but...

It pretty much shows where your values are when you start moaning. What's important to you.

So for eg I'm sad I won't see my family at Christmas time, esp my Granddad.

That shows family love. If the word hadn't been so tainted in bigotry, it would show family values.

Some people are upset about closed gyms. OK, that's a bit silly cos you can exercise from home.

But it shows they care about keeping fit.

Some people are upset about libraries closing.

Shows they care about knowledge.

Some people care about pubs closing.

Sorry but either they work in pubs, have family members/close friends who do or want an excuse to be a drunk.

I like going to the pub for everything a teetotaller can enjoy in a pub - from meals to football to quizzes - but I'd gladly see every pub shut forever if it meant not one more Covid death.

People in this country care far too much about their ability to drink. They should focus on staying sober instead.

Isn’t there good music in some pubs?I would miss that.
No pubs here unfortunately.No liquor stores either, dry county.

This doesn't make sense.

I primarily moan about the coffee shops being locked down...

If I were to follow the logic of the OP, then I would only care about coffee.

... OK, you have a point.

I complain about restrictions and constrictions, of boredom and being broke.

So heck yes, I care about being free to go anywhere outside, possessing amounts of commodity for myself, not needing to wear masks and doing something else.

But this may also mean, I care about socializing or diving into crowds, getting a job that it may or may not be worth the trouble, or the privilege to disregard anything that would alarm people.

Do I like pre-pandemic chaos much??

Then so do the confusions, poor management and crowd control, recklessness and catch-22 scenarios of starvation and immediate survival VS risk of getting any virus and hope it's asymptomatic.
This doesn't concern me a bit, yet it's one of the things I do complain about.

Or maybe because I'm sick of hearing and seeing deaths at large, sick of unreliable systems and instability.
And this was before the pandemic.

What only counted more since the pandemic was my concern towards my family.
Plenty of them, happened to be frontliners.

It says a lot. That includes contradictions.

I care about pubs and restaurants and whatever else being shut down because it's putting people out of business and out of work. No matter how necessary it might be, I don't like it one bit.

The main complaint I have is the jerks who can't take it seriously and wear their damn masks.

Main complaint:

I miss taking my wife to our favorite restaurant and dance club, being seated at our favorite table, being waited on, having our supper, and then spending an hour or two on the dance floor practicing our Arthur Murray steps.

People accepted food and gas rationing, planted victory gardens, did without nylon hose and other luxuries during WW2, wearing a mask is no big deal.I suppose their ego is the driving force, they must think their face is so darn special we all have to view it.Many people’s appearance is vastly improved by a mask.

I am a military veteran, having served during Desert Storm and Restore Hope.  I also spent two years at sea surrounded by noisy people and their germs, and learned first-hand the difference between necessity and luxury.

Someone telling me that protecting one's health is not important -- especially during times of crisis -- had damned well better have a medical degree and a few decades of experience treating sick people before I will lend much credence to their whining and complaining about how a dozen square inches of cloth are an imposition upon their civil rights.

They have no freaking idea what imposition and inconvenience are really all about.
