Originally posted by timb64 I’m not sure I really understand your anger,Mike. You’re not being restricted from doing anything you shouldn’t have been doing anyway,the libraries and gyms were already closed,at least in this area and you shouldn’t have been leaving the house more than necessary.The only real people to suffer will be those who were not following the recommendations.
I wonder if you read my post fully, Tim, or any of my previous posts on the subject (in this and other threads)? Or perhaps I expressed myself poorly. My parents and I have been in a self-imposed lockdown like this since well before it was even advised, let alone prescribed. It's no problem for us.
My anger isn't for how this affects me personally, or my family, nor the things it restricts. It's directed towards modern society and the sense of entitlement... those folks who have flouted official / expert advice, and have exercised little or no common sense, putting themselves and others - especially health service and key workers - at risk for the sake of their own convenience and/or enjoyment... resulting in our authorities having no choice but to treat us
all like idiots who can't follow simple advice for our own, and the general, good.
I've no problem with the official lockdown at all. I welcome it, given that some folks seem unable to think
for, rather than
of, themselves.
Yours,
Angry of Durham
