Steph, are people in the UK protesting how strict the guidelines are, or do they generally accept them? It sounds like it's much stricter there than it ever has been here, and yet people in my area are constantly complaining about their rights being violated because they can't dine in at restaurants or shop without wearing a mask. It's so ridiculous. I get that, for most people, it's not fun to be cooped up, and wearing masks aren't comfortable, but it's a small price to pay to prevent people from getting sick. Of course, the ones complaining are the same people who think COVID-19 is "no big deal" or a made-up liberal media hoax. Is that happening in other countries too, or is that just a dumb American thing?
I think there are people who aren't happy with the way things are, but the majority of people seem to be accepting it. It is for our own good after all and a small price to pay in the long run.
I see quite a few people shopping in face masks, my mum has made me a few. I'd rather shop in a mask than risk getting or transferring the virus. I saw on the news about huge queues for the shops re-opening in England. I think ours will re-open in the next couple of weeks, but I won't be going to any shopping centres for a while.
We haven't had it as strict as some countries because we've been allowed out to exercise close to home.
We have our share of idiots here too who think the virus is made up. A friend of my sister's is convinced it's a cover up for putting up 5G masts or something like that lol.
Mare, that is a huge bill to have to pay
I'm glad we have free health service here as a lot of people wouldn't be able to pay. Shame you don't have a system more like ours.
