The problem with allowing people to make up their own minds though Rob is… idiots.They’re everywhere. And I’m not talking about those who bend a few rules here and there whilst still remaining mindful of the situation. I’m talking the ones who just disregard and won’t be told anything.
The vast majority will use common sense. The minority won’t. Thats the reasoning behind H&S, covid rules etc - the lowest common denomination of people where we have rules because simple people are unable to think beyond themselves or for themselves.
There are still people trying to travel through Heathrow to countries that are not accepting them, for instance.
Yeh ok, fair comment, …but we’ve got 3 types of people in this situation.
The servile and obsessive, who would walk around in stockings, suspenders and a plastic mac if the Govt told them them it was both the rules and a way of avoiding this plague,.and go on to repeat all the hype scaring the [zb] out of many others.The ones (like me) who listens to all this stuff with an open mind, go through the charade of masks etc, and do the important basics of keeping their hands sanitized etc, but do not believe ALL of the crap fed to us.
And lastly the ones you mention, The I couldn’t give a [zb]’ crew.
And which one of those three groups is most at risk of spreading a virus (whether it be a killer Chinese super virus or just the flu dressed up depending on viewpoint - they all spread the same way).
You know the answer. Thats why we have these draconian measures in much the same way we have trailer markings on all trailers but still have people thumping bridges tarring us all with the same brush. Different circumstances, same thing.
