I swear if I see another comfortable, healthy, middle class homeowner complain about what a great imposition lockdown has been because they couldn't go to restaurants I will lose my shit. Especially when they then claim all the public health interventions have been unnecessary.
I have been separated from my partner for 6 months because of closed borders. And frankly that's nothing compared to those who have lost people to the virus, and the new conditions of life for all those who are vulnerable to it because they are older, have health problems, those
who live in really cramped conditions, or have been put in danger by having to go to work through all this, often without adequate PPE. I'm increasingly intolerant of the people who are making arguments to go "back to normal" just for themselves, without understanding that this
makes it even less likely things will ever go back to normal for the rest of us. Same with all the parents who are all excited about their kids going back to school, who say nothing about the families whose kids can't go back because people in the household are vulnerable - and
the government has basically made no provisions at all for these people. This country is full of loud-mouthed dickheads who self-interested precisely because they can afford it and have nothing serious to care about.
