Is this how it is?

Just been to the supermarket, noticed we're back to queuing again, but whilst waiting the two girls in front of me who appeared to be teenagers were chatting.
'I've been told to isolate twice today' they were the words that came out of her mouth!
I presuming via an app she was told but has obviously not taken any notice not just once but twice today, therefore probably never after being alerted to isolate has she ever.
Do you think there's a fair few like this?

yup, probably
and its always groups of feral teenagers streaming past my window with either no mask, or a mask carefully arranged to protect nothing more than their chin.
yet on MN, everybody jumps in and blames the virus spreading on old people.

Alternative view alert! warning ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️
When we were teenagers we used to make fun of nosey people who were clearly eavesdropping on us by talking about the burglary we were about to commit or the meth lab we were setting up. It was lies but their shocked faces were priceless! Perhaps thats what the teens were doing? It sounds exactly the kind of thing me and my mates would have done, scare the nosey old biddy who's asking everyone to stay 2 meters away, come up with a fake story about how our mums both have been coughing their guts up... Definitely heard a few tall tales on the bus between kids talking about really unrealistic, covid related stories. (I'm the nosey old biddy listening into teens conversations now it seems)

in short, its probably not even true- sounds like they're messing with you.

Probably, hopefully. I'm not an old biddie just yet, maybe not that far off though.
I remember and relish the years of invincibility. I'm not judging and certainly didn't act so. It's not like I haven't broken a rule in this almost year long situation.
