Comment	Well, I just thought in Glasgow we had very long lockdowns/restrictions compared to other parts of the country. Like we never even had rule of 6, in 2020 iirc we had full lockdown for 3 or 4 months, then about a month where you could have one person round the house, and then it was nobody around the house for about another 6 months. > I agree completely, but we also need to look out for that of everyone else around us. Yes and some people are really messed up by changing their lifestyle. I didn't go into this in the OP but there are a lot of people still afraid or out of the habit of socializing at all. We have started to go back in for meetings at my work and there's one woman who always has an excuse not to come, I think she pretty much doesn't leave her house now. People like that need some kind of support I think or at least they need to not be forgot about. I know also of an older woman who lived for months alone in the house in the dark because she was scared to ask someone around to help her change the lightbulbs. > Good post by the way - it's important to speak up about these things and hear others experiences. Thanks - you never know posting on this subject if someone's going to call you out for moaning or conspiracies or will try to ban you posting etc. I know people were acting in bad faith sometimes but at the same time a lot of the subs specifically about covid were weirdly punitive about anyone saying they were struggling or it had felt like things had changed so. For that reason I was a bit hesitant to post. I definitely feel in life it's a subject everyone dances around as well.
