As a single person in a 600 square foot condo, I hated lockdowns, and I never really followed them in the sense that you stay literally indoors in your home. Yeah, screw that. Fine with me if you like staying home, but don’t you dare impose that on my vaccinated, mask-complient arse. No I will not stay home.

Big talker. You will stay home if you are ordered to by law. That’s what was missing from the last lockdown. No teeth in the order. Next time we’ll go the Canadian route. Get caught outside, go to jail, stay in jail for the duration of the lockdown.

Not sure if this is a joke?

Filling up prisons would make the pandemic worse. And why discourage low risk outdoor activity at all? Sun and fresh air keep you well. Access to the outdoors is our birthright as living beings.

Especially when they released or refrained from jailing the actual criminals in many areas.

Newsflash! If you are violating a lockdown/stay-at-home order YOU ARE AN ACTUAL CRIMINAL!

I’d much rather see some petty thief or drug dealer released to make room for people who are out spreading a deadly contagious illness.

Uh-huh. Who do you think is the worse person?

a) A person who violates the stay-at-home order by driving into the country (for no real purpose other than to get out of the house), stopping in some little strip shopping center, and strolling around outside, or
b) A person who steals an old lady's Iphone

Full disclosure: I was person A, violating Northan's order that we were only allowed to drive to the pharmacy, grocery, or medical office for necessary trips.

(Just trying to determine how far your leftist crazy goes.....)

You missed your calling as a runaway slave catcher.

Too bad for you that you were born in the wrong age.

I’m a nanny and I liked it because I got paid a lot more. I hope next year we are remote until 2022, so I can pay off the last of my student loans! I made an extra 14k in lockdown and put it all on my loans.

People are always spreading deadly, contagious illnesses. This is part of life. You are welcome to stay locked up inside at all times.

I am middle to upper middle class and I am eagerly awaiting another lockdown. Even for 2 weeks. Hell, I’ll take rolling lockdowns. I spent less money, ate healthier, my family and I connected and created space to separate when we needed to. Yeah it was hard, but we created a pod seeing only our parents, sibling and their kids. We went outside, in our yard, our parks, etc. there is a way to be locked down and still be safe. Singles may not have these options, but I have a single sibling and he had interaction with us.

The only reason I don’t want an extended one is because children need to be on school, without guardians yo develop socially. Other than that, I’ll take it. And looks like it may happen sometime soon

It is very hard on senior citizens, as well, especially those who live alone.

In my talks with friends and acquaintances, it seems the people who liked the lockdown are working professionals, and got to telecommute from home. They told me they were busy all day with work - zoom calls, emails, projects, etc., - and then were fine with a walk in the evening and dinner. Retired people living alone were miserable, and of course schoolkids suffered immensely.

You are more than welcome to go back to lock down life on your own.
No need to expect others to follow your own restrictive proclivities.

Local governments don’t have the power to ban me from crossing state lines to engage in interstate commerce, and other states don’t have the power to prevent me from crossing their borders.

The supposed stay at home orders were nothing more than suggestions.

I don’t get all these people who liked lockdown. I have a sfh with a big yard. I was doing virtual teaching from home which sucked. I hung out with my family but really missed seeing friends and going out to movies and restaurants. My kids missed going to school and interacting with their friends every day. Seeing people only outside gets old.

Agree. I really don't get these people who are HOPING for another lockdown.

Have you spent much time with some of the people in this area? I'm not surprised at all.
