This makes me litterally sick. My father was in a nursinghome, he had dementia. I could NOT visit him. He fell ill, i could NOT sit at his bedside. Then he died....ALONE!!!! This hurts me more than i can say....

[squiggle]

the only thing i liked about the lockdown was being able to be a hermit in my own home without people judging me. and yet... *gasp* I DON'T WANT ANOTHER ONE!

my mom and uncle DIED from covid. and not only them, millions of people died. did you know? i spiraled into depression not being able to see the people i love and losing them. covid ruined me, it ruined many people. the fact that people want this AGAIN is sickening.

edit: thank you to everyone in the replies.

Me, an introvert, LOVED lockdown... for like a month. Online school was so unimaginably crushing, it ruined my way to socialize, I became such a lazy person, I longed to go back outside, and I was at my absolute lowest. I would NEVER wish for that to happen again 😟

Especially since over 7 million people passed away from COVID, I never want to experience lockdown again.

First romanticizing the first lockdown and now *THIS?!?*

[phoenix_]

This is disgusting how many people romanticize the first lockdown. They don’t realize the very real struggles that people went through, all the way from depression to losing jobs to losing lives! I’m also attending college in the fall as well as dorming there, so it would be AWFUL if any of that got taken away from me because of a lockdown. It’s not cheap to go where I am going.

I was about 9 when COVID put us in lockdown. And it completely destroyed my life.

I was in a constant state of paranoia and anxiety, which I couldn't even relive by taking a walk or playing at the park. I missed my friends, I missed the park, I missed living. Everyday more people would get infected, more people would die, and I was deadly afraid of becoming one of them. I know a few people who lost family to COVID.

Lockdown wasn't fun or trendy, and the 'fun' we *did* have was a futile attempt to ignore the literal apocalypse outside.

But yay no school!!

I think I know what these Tiktok users really want.

The internet back in 2020-2022. They don't really want another lockdown, they just want to see the internet like how it was in 2020-2022. They are nostalgic for certain elements of the internet back in 2020-2022.

I lost three years of my middle school during the lockdown, and people are excited for a second one..? Oh god..

[oldeuropemyhome]

I do know two people that enjoyed the lockdowns. What they had in common was that both had a large house and garden, a partner with a stable job and fairly high income, and were glad to not have to drive their kids to multiple hobbies as usual, and they did not have parents that needed care.

Covid took my childhood and i really don't want this one to take my teenage years

[fangirl]

Online classes nearly robbed me of being able to graduate. I had hybrid classes my senior year. They over-enrolled students in so many online classes that after the cut off for class changes, they kicked out many students from the online classes. I was kicked out of ALL of my online classes, leaving me with not enough credits to graduate. If it wasn't for the one kind AP teacher in my school, I would not have been able to graduate. She offered her study classes that were exclusively for AP students to everyone who got kicked out of online classes, which allowed me and I'm sure many other students a chance at getting those missing credits. I am forever grateful for her generosity because without her I would have been held back a year. I would never wish for anyone to go through the pain I did during that time.

I do not wanna go back to online school, I’m just going into high school, I can’t spend my high school days in front of a screen. I had everything planned out and online school will ruin everything.

I couldn't handle the first Pandemic, It ruined me mentally, physically and emotionally, I became a sad sack, I was dreading the next day cause I was so miserable in the house not seeing my friends, I couldn't see any of my friends for 2 years, These influencers are the stupidest brainless people that need a reality check!!!

People whom "enjoyed" "Lockdown 2020", "Quarantine 2020" whatever you want to call it, were just children at the time. It was these kid's mom and pops and older sibs whom understood the ramifications of the pandemic and the loss of jobs or what the psychological effects felt like from the year of our lives. But on the plus side, NEW YEARS EVE felt so dang hopeful. 💗

I just started high school. Lockdown was during my last year of elementary. 2020 turned me from an outgoing social sassy child into an insecure, introverted, afraid to speak up teenager. I do not want another lockdown.

[Stardrp-tt]

I dont know if I could take it, I just moved in to an apartment, I'll be completely alone aside from my dog. This news is devistating to me

[shannon]

Lockdown stole my sophomore and junior year of high school. It killed my social skills. Sure, I excelled in online learning, but it killed me not being able to see my friends, do theater, or show my animals at fair. I was lucky that I was able to go back to school my senior year and actually have my prom, graduation, and all other senior things. Other people didn't get that. I can't go into lockdown again. I love college. I can't lose out on those experiences for the second time in my life.

The pandemic was so depressing, and even devastating for most people. I cannot imagine another one 🙁
