The pub thing is bananas, my mate went last night. His logic, “we’re all going to get it anyway”.
That may or may not be right, but the point of all of this is that we don’t all get it at the same time.
The reason for this is that you don’t want your folks, gasping for air, being left outside the hospital because the only bed left is tied up by someone younger infected by either going to the pub, or being in contact with someone who has.
People who choose to go shopping in crowded supermarkets when they’ve already got plenty fall into the same category imho.
I look at what’s going on and quietly despair. There are an awful lot of decent people about, but some proper idiots too.
If we can’t educate people into doing the right thing, and we can’t frighten them into doing the right thing, then the only option left is to force them into doing the right thing. What’s it going to take, rationing?
