This attitude is common everywhere. I think that people are so sick of lock downs etc that they are ignoring rules, rules that are in place for their own protection, and the protection of others. I completely understand how some people must feel, but we all must take the long term view, otherwise Covid will be with us forever. It may indeed be with us forever anyway, regardless of what measures are taken, but at least we can help minimise the effects by observing the guidelines.

So do I.
Self entitled, ignorant, no social responsibility, uncaring and self obsessed are all words/phrases that come immediately to mind. I am sure that I could think of other words/phrases given a little time.
There are no valid excuses. I cannot believe that any responsible and caring member of society would ignore even the most basic distancing rules at this time ............ and as for party goers..............
When I compare this situation with what the people had to endure in the World Wars (both at home and in service) what is being asked of us here seems so little.
If I was front line in this situation I really would wonder if it was worth it when I see the total disregard of even basic rules and good manners exhibited by some in the current situation.
I equate what they are doing with attempted negligent manslaughter. There have been repeated calls for tough penalties for drivers who ignore the law in a way which results in the death of a third party. As these people really any different?
I had better hold my tongue there.
