I have zero interest in following guidance if we go into another lockdown and I will be seeing family over Christmas regardless

I was, however, all for lockdowns last year. I think there’s been a good amount of time for people who want the vaccine to have the vaccine, and I think there’s been a reasonable enough amount of time that’s passed for people to adjust their life to how comfortable they feel. I have an elderly relative who I genuinely don’t think will survive another lockdown purely because of the mental stress she will be put under

The thing that annoys me is I’m currently abroad and I flew before I had heard of this variant, I now have to come back and isolate pending a PCR test. I have felt ‘safer’ the whole time I’ve been abroad than I have in the UK for a long time, and I’m triple vaccinated, so while I understand the need for vaccinations, it’s hard to not question why bother
