Imagine dating, going to university, getting married, celebrating things with your family, all under masks and restrictions, having to show a vaccine pass wherever you go, and hysteria from all sides about whatever the covid news of the week is. Or worse, living and working over video chat.

Personally, I'm done, but it's like we've all collectively said fuck you to the younger generation.

That, and I've lost any respect or feeling of civic responsibility towards the government. The pandemic has been handled so badly, oscillating between absurd overreaction and trying to talk away poor response (for example where I am we had huge delays in vaccine availability), all while trying to exert a completely inappropriate level of control over what people do. I no longer feel like a part of society and feel like the government and my countrymen have broken any social compact we have and I don't owe them anything.
