it's surprising to see a large majority supporting tighter restrictions, but good to see since the daily figures are stark

Will they pay them more than 600$?

---

because lockdowns in America means making no money with a 600 check to live off of, not everyone lives with their parents or off some google equity stock in San Jose

wow 79% of brits are commies! Russia really won the war

or they get unemployment + 300, but you're allergic to research and knowledge.

Okay when the government can compensate me for my 90k salary without any strings attached, I'll be preaching pro lock down

then you should probably learn what a budget is so you can afford to miss a check while making 90k a year. Absolutely no one is going to shed a tear over people earning 75k+ as an individual. Not to mention, odds are your job can be done WFH and a shutdown has no impact on you.

But again, research and knowledge are things you're allergic too.

Given his alleged denial of a certain historical event, you can say that again.

Pfft, you do realize a lot of people have burnt the available unemployment, right?

WELL THATS WHEN THE STATE GOVERNMENTS NEED TO STEP IN AND MAKE EXCEPTIONS.

Sounds like a problem that exist with or without a lockdown and those people should be taken care of in someway seperately. But I case this is the quality of a response i can expect from someone who wants to pick up after jballen.

Like what's your point, we can't help everyone perfectly so we should just continue to get a couple thousand people killed a week?

Begone with your ad hominem and stop replying.

We went on lockdown

Then it got lightened over the three days of Christmas

Then we ended up with a December death toll equal to half of all deaths in 2020

Don't be like us. Do the lockdown properly

Regardless of what financial support the government is giving or will give, we need to lock down. We don't have a choice anymore.

Meanwhile in fucking America...

Here in America we have enjoyed more freedoms than any other country and people rightfully don't want to give them up in the event government never gives them back. Remember this country was founded on escaping the rule of the crown.

Where do you work making that much where you can't make any alternate arrangements like working from home and are also not considered an essential service?

What? Why would Governments want to keep people indoors and not spending money? It's a huge financial cost that is basically short term pain for long term gain.

Control of the people. Did you see the video from the World Economic Forum where they said by 2030 no one would own anything and they (people) would be happy?

What are you on about

I'm glad people are behind it now. Perhaps they'll stick with it and not go back too early. Also hope people will properly behave when going out and wear shops in masks (I see far too many at my local not masked) but we'll see.

Stay safe bebe

Yes we do. Keep working and providing for ourselves against the virus, or dont, fall behind on bills, get evicted eventually eventually.....and still end up facing the virus either way.

I'm not interested in daft conspiracies to defend doing nothing in response to a pandemic.

For real. What's even the point of it at that point? I've been legit tempted to ask but not worth the risk if they turn out to be unhinged.

some mind blowing stats

More stats from Channel 4 news.
In the UK:
*Even if we hit 2m vaccinations per week today itd take over a year to end lockdown
*At the current rate of 300k per week, itll take six years

is that to vaccinate the whole population?

id assume theyre going with herd immunity by vaccinating around 60-70% to ease lockdowns

People are still getting sick in Cali even with their harsh ass lockdown so WTF.

The government fucked us over. I'd wager most of us would be okay with this had our government actually took care of us.
