Is he between 20 and 30?

Yeah, I know somebody who would probably say overall benefit because he's got to be stay at home Dad to his newborn, and spend time he otherwise wouldn't get the chance to. He hates the lack of social, the worry etc, but he has had a chance he'd never normally get.Quality time spent with the kids.
Suffer with mental health/ social anxiety which is exasperated by everyday situations.
Genuinely very scared of catching covid.
Hate work and love being furloughed.
Equally, some of the above have driven other people up the wall.
Being at home was certainly getting to me.
Mrs. Wisdom not having a three hour round trip for her commute to work is a good thing. Not seeing her family, the risk to her own health, and having to get married with most of her friends and family not there are very much not good things...And of course people may have liked aspects of lockdown

What was the context in the article that was in as having a quick skim through the full report its not presented as 'people love lockdown', the opposite if anything.
Agree with all that, especially the getting old bitChanging times though I guess, if it had happened when I was in my 20s it would’ve been horrific (for me) !!!! Social interactions are changing though, as long as they’ve got their tech, many are happy, which whilst good in lockdown is a bit of a shame really...maybe I’m just getting old
The scenes outside the oak last night were fucking tragic
Finding it pretty difficult to be outraged when I presume most were uni students who fall into the really low risk category and we've vaccinated millions of older and at risk people. Got to move on a little at some point.The scenes outside the oak last night were fucking tragic
Sensible at mineHope the pictures being shared on social media and in the press this morning of people queuing for pubs & shops aren't representative of what is happening everywhere as there seems to be little social distancing going on and few people wearing masks. Been weeks of politicians, experts etc pleading with people to be responsible, fingers cross we see people taking that onboard.
Seems to be some very liberal interpretations of what is classed as outside, not sure I'd be putting an enclosed marquee on that list.
Anyone returned the gym this morning, was it sensible numbers or rammed?
Every second piece of equipment is not available at my Gym anyway. You can view numbers of people in the gym online. I'll be going this evening.Hope the pictures being shared on social media and in the press this morning of people queuing for pubs & shops aren't representative of what is happening everywhere as there seems to be little social distancing going on and few people wearing masks.

I dont trust any polls. They are so highly manipulated its a Joke. YouGov for example I heard if you dont agree with the narrative you dont get asked to participate in more polls.
To test this a signed up.
I was invited to a few different polls on multiple topics. During one of them a question about Covid passports came up as the last question. I put strongly disagree. Since then I have not been asked to participate in any other polls.
seams that the way to get the results wanted Is to remove anyone who questions it.
Population manipulationWhat’s the benefit of manipulating polls though? What is being gained? Genuine question.
Population manipulation
Given we have a populist government that blows with the wind, I wouldn't see any benefit with manipulating the polls anyway. If the polls said something else, they'd do that instead!Have you got any examples, half the time polls pop up it’s during an election year and they are always completely wrong. Or is it to do with if they push a narrative like above with vaccine passports it’s more likely to encourage more people to go along with it?
Quick google of the company who carried out this poll and this comes up.I dont trust any polls. They are so highly manipulated its a Joke. YouGov for example I heard if you dont agree with the narrative you dont get asked to participate in more polls.

As long as they keep out the libraries for the next couple of months, they can do what they want...Finding it pretty difficult to be outraged when I presume most were uni students who fall into the really low risk category and we've vaccinated millions of older and at risk people.

Definitely a safe placeAs long as they keep out the libraries for the next couple of months, they can do what they want...
Let's hope so!Definitely a safe place

Only anecdotal but it’s across social media how the masses are manipulated into believing certain things by the mediaHave you got any examples, half the time polls pop up it’s during an election year and they are always completely wrong.

Yet academic research moved away from that in the early '80s. It's all about active audiences now, and how people reject certain views and embrace others according to their prior dispositions, and the what the media does is tweak, or play on those dispositions that already exist. So you won't persuade a hardcore nazi or raving commie any different, whatever you put up.Only anecdotal but it’s across social media how the masses are manipulated into believing certain things by the media
