I think if everyone did this, then we would be in a better place right now.
Staying the fuck away from everyone unless you absolutely have to and using your common sense would have made things better.
People blame primary schools for example and how keeping them open has spread it while sat in a pub getting sloshed with mates while going to work with a persistent cough.
Acliff-
and using your common sense would have made things better.
I agree with your post, about staying the fuck away from people, but please don't fall into the "use common sense" trap.
Common sense as a concept is pure bollocks. "It's never common and very rarely sense", is my view.
If it were actually a commonly held view then it wouldn't need stating, would it?
A right wing anti-vaxxer will hold a very different definition of "common sense" than I would. Dominic Cummings would hold yet another view.
Deferring to common sense interpretations of vague, poorly implemented guidelines is part of the reason why we are in such a shit position.
Furthermore, I actually think "common sense" as a phrase is very often used perjoratively and passively to criticise other's actions whilst implying that oneself wouldn't be so silly. The total opposite of a "common" position.
"Common sense" is the lingo of Boris and his half witted cabinet who don't have the guts or conviction to actually do the difficult thing at the right time.
Sorry. End of rant.

Not sure. I don't really follow the rule changes. I just stay the fuck away from everyone.
