To think the govt has no right to tell me who I'm allowed to have in my home?

[HumanFemale1]

Anyone else feels the same? I just don't think this is OK. Govt making the rules of who I am allowed to have in my home or how many people I'm allowed to have in...

Especially when it's to keep a virus from spreading when the average death of a virus is higher than the life expectancy. But for any reason really. If the govt was making this rule for any other reason people would be horiffied.

Fully agree @HumanFemale1
When the Government pay all my bills etc etc

will everyone just fuck off saying 'crack on'?

Covid doesn't leave you alone because it knows you're at work.

No, but reducing your exposure to being at work only reduces the chances of you catching it or transmitting it.

I genuinely do not understand why this is so hard for people to grasp.

Because a lot of people are INCREDIBLY selfish and stupid?

If that's how you think then I assume you, your family and your visitors also will not want government help (NHS, furlough payments etc) should you catch CV19?

It's not government help, it's the tax payer. As a person who has paid tax for the past 20 odd years I'd have no difficulty accepting anything I was entitled to personally...

‘They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.’

Benjamin Franklin. Presumably there will be some here who will say how stupid he was. And selfish too, perhaps.

It doesn't mean what you assume.

I would recommend that you look up a few of his other quotes, many are very apt.
