Most individual actions are understandable & defensible. But it& #39;s the sum total of individual actions that matters! The literal, entire point of public health restrictions is that if we all did the most logical thing to protect us & our families we wld make things worse overall

It& #39;s that we& #39;re all part of a *chain* that matters. You going to a friends house is unlikely to do anything *on its own*. Millions of ppl doing it though is a v different story! B/C the virus doesn& #39;t spread. *You* spread it. To stop that we all have to restrict our movements.

Honestly, in the middle of a pandemic where all our lives and safety depend upon the actions and continued restraint of everyone else "well I did the right thing for *my* family" is...

Like, wanting to protect your family is obviously understandable and I& #39;m sympathetic! It must have been scary & horrible. But the point of the regulations is consideration for ppl who *aren& #39;t* you and yours
