I can only repeat my earlier post. I'm not clever enough to repeat it as a quotation from earlier on this topic, but several already have done, to add their own comments.
I am fortunate in that I do not need to go out of the house, in order to work, it's a fortunate state to be in, and I recognise not everyone can manage from home. I choose to keep as safe as we can mange nowadays.
Yes, I'm bored sideways a lot of the time, but I keep managing to keep busy and even sometimes entertained, as well. I choose to try and keep safe, and that must be for me to decide.
I do however resent having my safety so compromised by those who are determined to eat out in crowded venues, drink until their inhibitions and sense of social distancing has departed, and be merry all over the place, and then come closer to me than I prefer in the supermarket car park, etc.!!
Yes, nothing is totally risk free, the roof might fall in on me as I type, but that's not really the point, is it?
Surely I can maintain my way without upsetting others? They do not have to join my way, but I'd prefer not to have what freedoms we have, further curtailed by spending at least the next couple of weeks in closer "lockdown" because of the less responsible actions of others.
We may well have already been living with the coronavirus for a lot longer than we thought at first, but that's already done, we can't alter that. The "new normal" will be different .... when we do finally reach it!
