A close friend of mine told me today that she has got a temp and cough and has been sleeping all day. She has a roommate that needed to go to her mums today to pick something up ( semi essential ) my friend was in her car travelling to friends mum with her to pick it up. No words can Express how stupid that is. People like that is the reason we are seeing the death toll rise so quickly. How can people be so stupid so fucking selfish?

I think some people don't think it's going to happen to them. So, they think precautions don't apply to them. It's very scary indeed.

I think until lots of healthy adults and children get it and die some people just won't care.
I'm not in the risk group nor is anyone I care about but I still listen and do what I need to do as I know that even if I get a mild case someone I pass it to might not be lucky

I wonder whether people don’t understand or don’t care. I’d rather think they don’t get it as I find it upsetting to think they don’t care about the enormity of this

Don’t care, don’t understand, plain stupid? I also think that so many people are in some sort of a strange bubble, like it’s a film going on around them. They are strangely detached from it like it’s not real.

Because they're thick or ignorant. I know people like this who think the rules don't apply to them. really annoys me. It puts everyone at risk.
