I have just about had enough of these contradictory covid19 regulations.

So true.
It's beginning to feel like a trial to see how much we can be controlled.

You are not alone. We are being harmfully restricted when it comes to family occasions and it sticks in the craw to see big sporting events going ahead. I have had enough. It is turning into a farce.

It is annoying. Some are saying it's a trial to see whether we can return to open air contests and the like.

No you are not alone. I've kept to every regulation and guidance, but inwardly seethed at some of the contradictions while being told every one was backed by science. I appreciate that as more was known about the virus, guidance would adjust and change. One I can remember having absolutely no basis in science was when we were permitted to meet one other person not in your household in a public park. You could meet with your mum in the morning and go back to meet your dad in the same park in the afternoon. The fact your mum and dad occupied the same house apparently didn't count. You could however sit on the grass 6 feet away from a family of two adults and all their children who were total strangers to you! That sort of illogical thinking irritated the life out of me

Am I the only one irritated beyond measure?

GillT57, you are not.

Then there are all the football bigwigs not having to quarantine. Sport is king.

You are not alone.
We couldn't go to a funeral of a much-loved family member last week because of a limit on numbers.

Ok, so I am a law abiding person, I stayed at home, had my shopping delivered, no visitors, masks, hand washing, social distancing, both vaccinations etc., But, now I sit and watch thousands of football fans and Royal Ascot to name just two, at the same time as some bleating windbag of a politician is explaining why we shouldn't dance at a wedding ( other then the bride and groom), can only have limited guests in the church.....I am absolutely sick to the back teeth of the hypocrisy of it. I am going to a wedding in a mid July and the parents ( good friends) are worried sick about managing it all, how many can go into the Church, I told them to just stick a couple of horses in the gardens and we can say it is a race meet ( we will be wearing frocks and hats!), or get a football game going with some of the guests and we can be the spectators? Am I the only one irritated beyond measure?
