Out of Lockdown and into Tier 3 - Reaction from a County Durham resident - UK Tier Restrictions

(I have just gotten over a really nasty stomach bug - that's why I look like death warmed up haha)

So...we're coming out of lockdown and straight into tier 3 restrictions. Here is my honest reaction to the current situation. I've mentioned before I'm from County Durham.

I also touch on vaccines and anti-vaxxers and a few other bits and pieces.

I can't help but feel this whole thing is such an overreaction to covid 19 and yes, it is of course tragic that people have died and continue to suffer from the virus but come on, it's been almost a year, it's time to let it go! At least that's my opinion on it.

It just seems obvious to me that lockdowns are not working. If they were why would we need to be under these new tier restrictions? What was the point of this lockdown?

Relaxing covid restrictions for Christmas...why?

Hope you enjoy my take on it. If not...I'm fine with that ;)
