To the people who are saying they won't stand this any longer:
What exactly do you plan to do?
March on the streets?
Run out of your house and hug your family?
Not wear masks?
Because you can't go to the cinema, theatre, festivals, shops, libraries, cafes, pubs, send your children to school, see beauticians etc without the government's say so.
I'm just interested to know what the alternative is to trying to keep the infection rate down is.
