Everything @ponchek said with bells on.
Neighbour against neighbour is an absolute classic "divide and conquer" strategy to deflect blame from the ineptness of government.

ButILoveHim you said it, in so many ways. None of us can even begin to comment in comparison to you and others who are living this. And yes, the qualities that are dividing people are intelligence and a moral code.

When I see people unilaterally ignoring lockdown, I honestly despise them. I will never forget who has done it right, and who wrong. And I'll never see those who are taking the piss in the same light as I did before. This crisis is showing up the losers.

But be reassured and take comfort from the truth that the vast majority of us are doing this right, not just for ourselves, but also for you.

I'll take a flouter over an informant any day.

Quite the statement to say that your moral code would put you on the side of Jimmy Savile against those who tried to report him to the authorities.

'Instead of worrying about how many are sticking to social distancing and how well, and relying on that as somehow the key to unlocking us all, we should actually be holding the government to account about TESTING.'

THANK YOU. I'm so sick of hearing people complain about what their neighbours are doing and not about what the government is (or isn't) doing. We need to think about the long term, yes we can do our part in a short term emergency by staying indoors but beyond that we can't hide from the virus forever.

I've given up fucking bothering.

Neighbour down the road is a copper. Her house is like Grand Central Station with all the visitors coming and going.
Saw her plastered all over Facebook tonight of her in uniform clapping for the NHS. Perhaps she could better support the NHS by actually following the rules she's paid to enforce? Perhaps NOT potentially spreading the virus and causing more patients for the NHS would be more useful than virtue signalling clapping?

Well, some of us are in the process of applying for private medical insurance and waiting till a time we have access to remdesivir
