  • The simple fact is that people are spreading a virus if you don’t put certain limitations in place for a period of time.

    Yes. Certain limitations have been put in place, and before the result of that really starts to be noticeable, it'll likely be another week. I support the limitations that have been put in place till now, but I don't blindly support making them ever stricter.

    You’ll appreciate the fact of being able to go outside when you please (even with restrictions in place) a lot more when that possibility is taken away from you.

    Yes, but that does not mean that I should 'feel lucky' that my freedom to go outside (at least to some extent) hasn't completely vanished quite yet.

  • Maybe, but even then I just don't think it's particularly helpful to weigh up how much your normal freedoms have been restricted yet. I won't tell Hungarians concerned about how their executive has just grabbed essentially absolutist power that they should either feel lucky or be happy that at least it's not quite as bad as China yet.

    The fact such measures (as in the UK, decidedly not Hungary) are necessary is shit any way you look at it. Complaining about a very sudden rather large restriction on what you can and cannot do is a pretty normal human reaction, and I'd rather see that than everyone fall in line immediately with no issues whatsoever - that'd worry me a lot more.

  • I do think @SwissChap is interpreting our opinions slightly different to how we are intending. I've not intentionally commented on our right to do anything. I do feel privileged to live in a country that is permitting me to ride a bike (for now) though.
