| Comment | No, I don't accept that. Its utter bullshit to apply the same rules wholesale to people who are in wildly different circumstances. Enough is enough, and the longer this goies on the less willing some of us will be to put our lives entirely on hold for no recompense whatsoever just in order to go out of our way to - only potentially! - do something to protect the most vulnerable among us.
Currently there are people locked down in whole houses to themselves with gardens, husbands, wives and families there with them, and there are people locked down in shitty shared accommodation that they only took in the first place because they never intended on spending much time within it. Broadly, the latter are doing so in order to protect the former, who trend into the at-risk groups. This is *blatantly* a total double standard. Attach a carrot and we might see people more happy to comply, but right now its a huge ask of those in worse-off circumstances that's a mental health crisis primed to explode - to say nothing of those who'll be going straight to self-harm or substance abuse. |
