Wish there was a simple yes no survey for 'would you comply'

I read a lot of threads of a similar nature.
And I speak to lots who say they wouldn't comply if we had tighter restrictions or lockdown.
With people their own reasons for their choices.
However I remember reading the gov saying people would back it up and want a lockdown. ( honestly can't remember where or when)
I would just love one that people could just click yes or no to get a good idea.

Just a random thought

People will always choose the option that means they might still keep a roof over their heads over the one that will mean they definitely be destitute. So they will choose the risk of a fine (which is not guaranteed and relies on them getting caught) over definitely not getting paid for two weeks. And that is a completely rational choice to make, not selfish. In asking them to choose differently you are being incredibly selfish and lacking in understanding

@SoloMummy at the end of the day people's own families will always be the priority. Putting your family first is not a "shit thing to do." I'm sick of this attitude that you must prioritise everyone else over your own family.

If a 2 week isolation would mean I couldn't pay my bills and feed my child then you bet I wouldn't comply with it. My child is more important than strangers.

The thing that is completely immoral is in forcing people to make a choice between those two options.

I think we should write a begging letter to Jeff Bezos. Ask for a little help for the self isolating and the businesses who have to temporarily close.

Apparently the world's billionaires have got richer during the pandemic.

Meanwhile all the people who got ill or made redundant before the pandemic. It's ok for them to struggle on £74 a week? I see no calls for any support packages for them.
