I refuse to follow the rules because the rules are arbitrary and lack common sense, and because I know my own common sense will absolutely not endanger anyone.
I live alone. I work from home (have always worked from home). I don't go out except to go for long walks in the forest and occasionally to the supermarket. I don't know a single person who is elderly or medically vulnerable and there's very little chance of me passing it on to anyone vulnerable. I don't come into contact with children or people going to work or anyone who might be in a position to spread it around.
I never come into contact with anyone except for my boyfriend (who also lives alone and works from home and is basically an agoraphobic workaholic hermit) and my best friend who also doesn't go out much, and who has OCD so she's hyper vigilant about things like hygiene and mask wearing.
My best friend has a severe mental illness (psychosis) and I'm basically her sole source of MH support right now. The idea that I'm not allowed to see her unless it's outdoors is just total bullshit. I'm clearly a very low infection risk and the chance of me having COVID (without any symptoms) is incredibly low.
I simply don't accept that me walking to her house and sitting in her massive living room 2m apart while both wearing masks and with the doors open (banned) is a bigger risk than us both sitting on crowded buses so we can meet in a local park or sit outside a cafe (permitted).
There's tons of stuff that's far more risky that I am allowed to do (like eat in cafes, go into crowded shops, take public transport cheek by jowl with hundreds of strangers). That's all fine, but two people sitting far apart in a living room is verboten?
So I'm going to continue to "illegally" meet my friend inside her home in the knowledge that such an act can't possible endanger anyone or increase risk and is far less risky that many permitted activities.
