COVID-19 Rules - Love them or Hate them?

I very much see the world in black and white (right and wrong), so I love it when there is a clearly defined set of rules to live by. I'm also indifferent about people, so there has been no real downside to the social distancing rules for me personally. That said, I hate rule breakers and I cannot help but say something when people are not socially distancing from me. This has led to a number of confrontations over the past year, that could've have been avoided, if I could only manage to keep my mouth shut! Overall though, I would say that the COVID-19 rules have been good for me personally, as they align with my general outlook on life. What about you lovely people?

  • I'm glad things are getting back to normal. It was nice for a while, but enough is enough. The way I see it is that there are a couple of viruses that spread much faster than Covid-19, and they are ignorance and intolerance. No amount of masking and no amount of social distancing can protect us from them.

     

  • This is very true, but they haven't killed over 120,000 people in this country, or millions worldwide, in a very, very short space of time. I'm not saying they don't kill, but they're definitely not as lethal. When people tell me that they've had enough of lockdown and "we need to get back to normal", all I hear is "My tolerance for inconvenience has reached its limit so I want to do what I used to do, no matter how it affects others safety". Personally I prefer to listen to the scientists and doctors, rather than Johnson and Co. When *they* say its safe to "get back to normal", then I'll do so. They haven't said that yet. The vaccine, good as it is, is no guarantee, it's just one layer of protection, amongst all the others (social distancing, masks etc). People are acting as though Covid has gone away (again) or the vaccine is a miracle preventative. Neither is true. Even if I wasn't immunocompromised, I wouldn't be rushing to go mixing. I'd prefer a few more months of inconvenience just to make sure!
