This goes back to our previous disagreement about the state not providing sufficient infrastructure (my view) and yours that individuals should help themselves regardless. I'll give you an example, we were served in the pub by a helpful but quite desperate waiter and other staff. It dt felt clear to me to what degree they do what they do to survive and have to put up with circumstances because of this.
I agree that the government’s messages, guidelines and examples set by politicians from all parties has been appalling. However, the Conservatives are in power, so they carry all the responsibility.
I don’t have any medical knowledge or skills in predicting how viruses are passed on. However, I’ve picked up enough to know that this virus is highly contagious and it’s airborne. That’s all the information we need to tell us what to do. The rules are for bell-ends to try and find loopholes so that they can grant themselves easements and then go on to catch the virus and kill themselves or a loved one.
Highly infectious and airborne. Therefore people know what you need to do, but they are incapable of doing it. It’s not necessary to hide away, but try to carry out your daily routine in well ventilated environments, like outside. If people go inside into a pub, café , theatre or have a family gathering in their home etc, the probability of catching Coronavirus increases massively. It’s not a difficult thing to understand, even I understand it and I’m especially stupid.
I’m afraid the pub and indoor auditorium environment is dead until this virus is over.
