From tomorrow UK goes into third national lockdown. All schools will be closed till mid February. We totally deserve this. People don't obey the rules,they don't wear face masks,lie that they are exempt, don't stay 2m from each other,mix with other households and come shopping 5-6 people per family even though the rules says only one adult per household. With this mindset will never get out of this mess. Is not the government's fault.It' s the ignorant people!!!

A lot of people in the US are like this too. They just don't care. Some even seem to have an attitude of if they die, they die. Trouble is, if they are infected and out and about, they can infect others. I have a neighbor who totally ignores the fact that we are in a pandemic. His wife never leaves the house as she is extremely ill. But yet every day of the world he goes out and about, no mask unless he gets told it's mandatory or he has to leave wherever it is that he is, to buy lottery tickets. He isn't just going one place to buy them, he thinks it increases his chance of winning if he buys them at 5 different places. So every day, he goes to all five. I don't understand why he spends so much on lotto tickets as he rarely wins anything at all, but he is addicted. His daughter is coming to get her mother and take her home with her. She says her dad is going to kill her mother and probably take home the virus to her. People don't always have a lot of common sense.

Whow can you judge people you don't even know? While some of that might be true, there are situations where it's not realistically possible. Many families need to take their children shopping, because they can't afford child care. Many people don't wear face masks, because they may fall under the exhimption. And, you can't really prove it. Your country also blocked off disabled parking because....

And why one parent can stay home with the kids? Why the whole family plus granny has to come to store just wondering around it getting a loaf of bread? If people can't wear face mask because they are vulnerable they should stay at home and do online shopping or send someone who can do the shopping for them

@Gillygirl no it doesn't. My comments refer to what I have seen. Please go on the social media and see for yourself how many people are calling for disobedience. I believe that not all of them are from where I live.

Not everything is the government fault. Mostly the people is being ignorant. They won't care unless they got it. I feel pity for the innocent victims that got the virus from them. No matter what, I hope things get better there.

I hope things will be fine there soon. I heard about a new strain of the virus and it needs to be serious about this matter.

I saw Prime Minister in the news about it. He said to protect people from the migrant lockdown again.

they don't wear face masks? Wow, scary! Here, you will get fined if you don't wear it. Also wearing a face shield is mandatory.

In the UK we are too scared not to hurtthe people's feelings. We live in the generation of snowflakes who get offended by anything.Thats why we never question people why they don't wear face masks
