I know what it has done to me. I am a broken human being without my fix. Spend my days in live streams and mixing my own sets, all to no avail. I miss the lasers, the people and the unity our genre fosters :-(

I'm beginning to think that this is deliberate now.
The government are not supporting the night entertainment sector at all. They are not even trying to find a way to open them back up, and they are happy about it. Think about it, it means less noisey inner cities, less trouble in the early hours of the morning. They will lose revenue but they won't care.
Their excuse is no social distancing possible, bad ventilation, etc etc.
Well all I can say is, I hope they realise the backlash that will come their way. I heard that the Chancellor Sunak said yesterday people in music should now retrain, well that's probably the most disgusting thing i've heard. Someone , like many people i know, who've dedicated years to becoming professional musicians , are now going to retrain as what , a builder ? accountant ?
Why should the younger generation lose their ability to enjoy themselves because of a virus that 99% of the time won't effect them.
I caught the damn virus in a nightclub anyway, week before lockdown, as did my wife, and i'd imagine everyone there had it, and probably a blessing in disguise, antibodies.
I think that the British entertainment sector needs support from the people who use it and it's time to hit back at all these lockdowns and restrictions, and show the ****ing government it's time to open up the country and allow people to live again.
Let the vulnerable shield and anyone worried about the virus shield, but let everyone else get on with life.

There is only very short term immunity from this virus
I guarantee you are not immune anymore.
Dont think you or anyone else can guarantee anything when it comes to the virus. It will come again and again until it weakens through peoples immunity and dies out naturally, or we accelerate the process with a vaccine.
All lockdown is doing is delaying things in the hope that we do get a vaccine. If we dont then the only way is for it to run its course. Imo lockdown is just as big a risk as herd immunity due to all of the other effects on peoples physical and mental health caused by lockdown, not to mention the devastating effect its having on the economy.

You are vulnerable, therefore you need to shield or take a vaccine when it comes. The rest of us, need to live our lives with no more restrictions. Herd immunity doesn't go away, or we'd all be having chicken pox and measles again. You over sanitise and hide the human race from these viruses, you destroy its immune response, the body needs to know how to deal with these things.

In Scotland our first minister has basically closed down all pubs and restaurants for two weeks from Friday. That woman is clueless and a bigger threat to Scotland than the virus has ever been. Nobody has any idea what her goal is by doing this.
Completely reliant on support from the U.K. government but just blames it on them when things go wrong.. ****s me right off how she gets such an easy ride.

We're still waiting to see if a 2nd wave of the virus will hit Sweden.
We've had a milder lockdown and used herd immunity, and so far, we've done far better (after the initial stage, were everyone feared Sweden would become a hivenest of ill people) than most other countries.

Sweden is an interesting one. Easy to say all countries should have done the same at this point but all countries are different. The government appear, at the very least, to have a clear strategy which theyve stuck by despite a lot of criticism and fair play to them for that. Clear rules that dont change every couple of days and an attempt to keep life as normal as possible for everyone.

All bars have been closed in Texas for some time, even though our restaurant capacity was increased a week or two ago. One bar in my town put up a big sign that says WE REFUSE TO SHUT DOWN, and they've been pulling decent crowds.

This is being done to deliberately crash the economy. The last attempt was made during the financial crisis of 2007-2008. There's no way that businesses can survive with all the imposed restrictions. And if their doors don't shut immediately they will eventually due to not being allowed to have as many customers in their facility as normal. Scandalous.

I simply cannot believe she's doing what she's doing. Wee Jimmy Krankie is going to destroy Scotland if you ever get independence. However you feel about breaking away from the Union, she would not be my choice of leader, you'd be back in the EU in a hearbeat and then I wonder how that is going to work with the rest of the UK, a hard border between Scotland and England ? Wow.

Sturgeon and the SNP are clueless. Scary to think that an independent Scotland with their ilk in charge is a very real possibility.
