We're spitting tacks at the moment having just heard from our daughter of multiple friends of hers - friends that we ourselves know - who are using the latitude that the current rules provide to quite deliberately act in ways that overstep the mark into behaviour that risks cross-infection and spread. And they use the rules to justify their behaviour - well...they say - we're only just a little bit breaking the rules - just a bit over - and after all...nobody will really notice - all done surreptitiously.
Their behaviour is reckless, selfish and disrespectful to those who have died; those who have lost loved ones; those who have watched loved ones suffer alone, and those who's lives have been wrecked or are on hold - for whom an end to this is not simply needed as respite from boredom or the frustration that gives rise to 'i've had enough of this...'
Many people are looking to the future with desperation and fear - and such as my daughter's friends are only exacerbating things. And the thing is - they know better - but simply think that - well - it'll be alright. I myself fear that it just won't. Given an inch - many seem to be taking a mile. And so I fear for the way the re-opening of schools is expected to happen...and the expected behaviours that will be essential to make that safe and low risk in respect of transmission of the virus.
Unfortunately my wife took her anger and frustration out on our daughter - it's not her fault... after all - her b/f is one of those whose life is on hold and who depends upon things opening back up for his work to resume.
