That's putting it mildly. I think it's more appropriate to say those people not following the guidelines are selfish, incompetent, delinquent and just arsewipes. A total disregard to their fellow human beings.
If they wanna be f****** stupid that's up to them and if they catch it they deserve what they get but the trouble is they are putting innocent lives of decent human beings at risk.
It all depends on your point of view.
I am not sure if you know my circumstances, some others on POTV do, I won't go into great length, but I have had for the last few years several chronic illnesses, plus side effects, back at the start of 2018 I spent 3 months in hospital, a further 3 months in my living room at home, followed by 6 months of not being able to walk more that a hundred yards. Last year I managed to meet some of my old friends for a few drinks in the local pubs, and to do a bit of shopping for myself instead of having to rely on my wife who still works.
Imagine being in my position. In March this year when I was confined to the house again, it was like being back at the start again, like the film Groundhog Day.
Now after three months I can get out of the house again, and see my friends.
In my two regular pubs the locals have been well behaved.
I do not wear a mask when I go out as the last time I saw a doctor over breathing difficulty, he said I probably have the onset of COPD, so a mask makes it worse, so I am exempt, good thing to, as I spent the last 8 years of work having to wear one for up to eight hours a day.
When I first started being able to get out of the house I explained to my wife that men usually die earlier than women, and that as she is 11 years younger than me, with the illnesses I have I am likely to only have a few years left to live. I don't take all of my doctors & consultants advice, as that would cut out most of my favourite foods, and alcohol.
Now that I can get out of the house again, and go to the pub to see my mates again, thanks to the slight relaxation of the covid rules, it annoys me somewhat when people call people like myself irresponsible.
If anything people who call me, and others in similar a situation irresponsible, are selfish themselves.
All I want is to enjoy what is left of my life (as long as finances permit) doing what I can to make the best of things.
If you deny me that (and others like me) would prefer seeing more people suffer from mental heath difficulties from isolation, and the infrastructure of the country deteriorate further, to the point where you may not have been infected with covid the country is so bankrupt that it is not worth living in. Then it is your self, and others of the same opinion that are being selfish, incompetent, delinquent and just arsewipes. With a total disregard to their fellow human beings.
