I take your point, seems that people don't really wake up to what the world is like until something bad directly affects them - and/or stops them going to theatres/concerts/raves/etc.
However, since this is a 1 in 100 year event, a lot of general chagrin about pandemics is probably fair enough and to be expected.
Like I said to iggy04, I do admit to being bitchy in the post ;D I do have a very judgemental, bitter side of me that flares up a lot. I actually have no problem with chargrin and whining and saying things are unfair - Lord knows, I whine and bitch and gripe about things being unfair and horrible all the time. But I come across people who think life is supposed to be like a romantic comedy and they can't comprehend that there is evil in the world. I think I'm jealous that I can't live in a bubble like that XDXDXDXDXD I grew up from a young age knowing evil exist and clearly it has made me a bitter, judgemental, and jealous bitch.
But lovely beings like you added light and colour and beauty to my world, dearest <3 Thank-you for existing xoxoxoxo
Oh, you're more than entitled to be bitchy. ;-) Honestly, there's a global pandemic and what does humanity do? Squabble over toilet paper rolls and gripe that events got cancelled.
Meanwhile I'm in the 'smug introvert' camp, LOLing about being told not to go to pubs, bars, nightclubs, concerts that I wouldn't go to anyhow. *griiiiin* Also positively shiny when lock-down happened: "No contact with other humans? YES MY TIME HAS COME!" *fist pump* XD
OK, so 2020 did make me realise how disinterested I am in socialising with human beings. YOU'RE the rare exception, of course, my dear...*blows kiss* <3

To be very fair, it felt like the end of the world. Major events WERE being cancelled, which was a huge, *huge* indicator that shit was about to go down. I mean, I understand *why* events are being cancelled - cancel everything to save the health of everyone - but that didn't make it feel any better to know we could never plan anything.
I'd love to dine-in at a restaurant or drop by a cinema. I'm not even sure out-door dining would be allowed now (with new restrictions and the winter weather - but if it was summer, would this have been allowed still, or would it have been shut down again?).
I know and explicitly understand why it would not be permitted - for the sake of the population's safety and health, but... that doesn't mean I'm not allowed to miss it and whine about it, you know? It'd be great to have a change of scenery other than home and work - it gets monotonous.
Hi Iggy, just popping in here to wish you a happy new year. Hopefully it's better than 2020 & 2021! (enormous sweatdrops)
Don't mind me - as I say I'm very much an introvert. Being told in 2020 to stay away from other people was like: "YES! YES I CAN DO THAT! WOOHOO! :-D" I realise it was very difficult, disappointing, and draining for the majority though.
Anyway in 2021 the one event I do go to annually was back on (having been cancelled the previous year). And I have to admit loudly singing the 'Pokemon Rap' with a massive crowd was kinda life confirming, ya know? Even for a stay-at-home soul like me. *grin*
ROTFL! The "smug introvert" camp. I love it! It is the best time to be an introvert XDDDD I asked the nieces months into the lockdown how they were doing and the introvert said she was fantastic, it was no different from what she regularly does, and the extravert said, "I was bored from Day 1." That made me laugh and laugh.
Politically, I'm against the lockdowns (which I won't get into, that's a rant for another day), but personally, I'm with you. Human beings are rather overrated. You are an exception of course <3 *blows kiss back*

Yeah the political/legal ramifications of nationwide lockdowns are...interesting...to say the least. I'd read your rant about it. ;-)
Happy 2022! Take care. <3
