In the end we all make choices and take risks and must accept the consequences. As said in a previous post above, we want to get the most out of the next 10 years and we are not going to let fear of a disease stop us.
Spot on. But the Government and many members of the public insist that they know better.
A superficially appealing argument, but it misses one crucial point - the impact of one person's risky choices on others. If a person decides they don't wish to be constrained by restrictions like having to wear a mask when out and about, and decides they don't mind if they catch C19 as a consequence, they are also making the decision that they also don't care if they pass that infection onto anyone of whom they come within a couple of meters - and that's the problem, and that's why we have restrictions. It's all about social responsibility.
