Those doing what they like and ignoring the regulations are exactly the reason restrict ions can't be lifted earlier.
This is bullshit. I can't even comprehend how people are still believing this.
Everyone I know who has caught covid (including myself) caught it FROM WORK or a childcare bubble related to that work. Three of those workplaces were gov or council ran, two completely non-essential and one could be done from home, but all three magically shoehorned into the "essential" category as so many employers have chosen to do.
If we really wanted zero covid we should have just shut the whole place down for a month. Properly. Given people a month to stock up / prepare, food workers and emergency services on the streets only, and everyone else allowed out once a week to buy essential food. Let it "rip" through households but actually, you know, stop the spread.
Instead we have half arsed it from the beginning, having quite literally the worst of both worlds.
And we are still half arse-ing it now.
Now it's months and months away apparently because of "people like you".
It's not.
Goalposts will be moved again because workplaces have remained open throughout, and now schools are opening and more things will follow.
And that ^ is not an argument to stay in lockdown. I wanted schools open and I want the lockdown to be over because it's ineffective, damaging people's health, ruining the economy etc.
But don't say it's "all these people breaking rules" who are spreading it when they will be a tiny, tiny minority of cases.
