RANT ; I’ll get right to it !
You know what annoys me , those people who say ‘ oh in the grand scheme of things not that many have died. It’s the government pretending it’s not real . It’s a police state now. Well I’m doing what I like. It’s been blown out of proportion .... dear sweet clouds in the sky

How many people would you like to die , you know just to satisfy your own needs ? 50/60 million 1 billion. Do you have a particular age range , skin type , hair colour? Or just as long as it’s not you or anyone you know. ?

It’s so far from a police state , if you really lived in a place like that they would have arrested and disappeared your stupid self for breaking the law.

A worldwide conspiracy amongst governments to do what exactly - plunge the poorest into further poverty ,create more hardships ?

I’m so pleased nobody you know hasn’t been affected. I’m not that lucky.

Are you one of those who stripped the shelves so my mum and dad couldn’t get the basics ..even though you think it’s blown out of proportion . Is it you that stripped the shelves bare of tin foil to protect yourself from the 5G lot?

I’m keeping myself and my loved ones safe . Don’t expect my son to treat you in the icu , don’t expect my daughter to care for your child at school, don’t expect me to police your neighbourhood or my husband to keep our country safe just for you to throw it all back in their faces.

The selfishness of your Attitude is breathtaking. And the fact that you don’t realise it’s about exposure that you and your idiocy represent a danger to others .... grow up.

I don’t know any people who have said any of the things in your OP and I don’t know anyone who has done anything that’s in your OP, although we do live in the middle of nowhere and don’t take any papers!

I don't know anyone who has said these things either. I know some think that herd immunity is the way to go with this virus, but it seems to me that the community has been very good about complying with staying at home and making major sacrifices to protect everyone.

It is possible we will have to learn to live with this virus if no vaccine is forthcoming. Like a cold or the flu, it might just be a thing in the community. We can't keep the current situation up forever. For now though, we are trying what we are now.
