Comment	I'm 100% with you on this, people who can't/won't follow rules because they aren't being watched 24/7 are costing lives and dragging this out further. They don't realise this obviously. I've seen firsthand people on Facebook who went to raves and hung about with mates all throughout the first lockdown. People in their 20's/30's. Saying "fuck covid" and then posting touching tributes to their Gran who ended up dying with it, weeks after they posted snapchat videos of themselves visiting them because they always visit them. The same people then go on a huge rant about the virus and "I'm gonna kick its arse for taking her from me" when I'm sure they know it was most likely them who killed their Gran. Also, I know your not saying it but the amount of "why are shops so busy, are people stupid?" posts recently on here, when in reality if you weren't there there would be less people in shop. I'm sure I've said it on here before that I moved house a few months ago and went to IKEA on a Thursday morning to get a sofa. I queued for 30 mins while the woman and her young kid infront were on their phones the entire time, no masks, I ended up being behind them at the checkout, they purchased 1 candle. 1 candle, going to shops "for a wander" or to get "bread" needs to stop. I understand some people can't buy a big weekly shop and buy things daily, I get that, but if I have to do it I go 20 minutes before the shop shuts, when no one is around or get it delivered or ask a neighbour to grab some if they go. I've had people give me funny looks for walking down the street with my mask on, I mean it keeps your face warm but also it doesn't bother me. I'm not gasping for air, I'm not claustrophobic. It should be the "norm" but the macho, not scared of anything instinct seems to override this.
