I am not of the type who would ever wish to dictate how others should behave, as I see it the more risk you take the more chance you have of catching and spreading the virus, I would rather do neither thus I try to follow the rules. Being on the wrong side of seventy I can just about remember what it was like to be 20, and thus expect those with active hormones may take a chance on this that or the other, thus no matter the regs it seems some entirely natural aspects of expected human behaviour may overrule all..?
I went for my click and collect shopping this morning mask and gloves on once parked up and standing by the tailgate, the service provider had neither mask, gloves or maintained social distancing.... Shrug, as seems normal he was a nice chap who wanted to reduce the distance between me and my shopping and be as helpful as he could.... There are so many situations where those tasked with creating regulations and advice to try to keep us safe, are really up against it, and the media seem to be spreading confusion rather than keeping on-message in an already confused situation... Today they were reporting POSSIBLE/probable changes to the advice which can do little more than increasingly confuse the easily confused.
Sure it`s you choice if you want to go and eat out, or attend an event with numerous folk in which it could be near to impossible to ensure you can keep everyone two or more meters away from you and yours... Bottom line is, that for whatever reason YOU have decided to take a RISK that may or may not affect not only you but others you care for too.... YOUR choice...? I suspect those who have been affected by Covid may be less inclined to take risks than before...?
Me I have recently attended two track days, one of which I went nowhere near the pits, given I knew social distancing would be close to impossible, I was more than happy to park up well away from everyone else, and had taken steps to avoid any use of the facilities available at the track, and spent the majority of my time track-side which for the most part was hundred of yards distant from the next nearest person, these were the only two motoring events I attended this year. Was there any possible risk....? I can think of numerous possibilities... Thus I too took a risk to get my petrol head fix for the year, when for most of this year I have not strayed more than a few yards past the boundaries of our garden.... !
Perhaps best to try to stay safe folks..
