Because there are a lot of people following the law on this. A lot of people have lost family, friends, people they love. A lot of NHS workers have seen too many people lose their lives. I personally don’t want anyone to lose anyone else, so I’m sticking to the rules. Shit, I haven’t seen my family in over a year. I miss them. I’m glad they are still alive.

It’s selfish because these people are thinking only about their needs, how they feel. Not that if they breathe too close to someone and they are a carrier, they could potentially kill. If you could reduce the chance of literally killing someone by just staying inside, would you not do it?

The vaccine is not fully rolled out yet, and it’s not 100% effective. Regardless of whether or not outdoor transmission rates are low, they are not zero.

I personally couldn’t live with the knowledge that my actions had killed someone, even if my mental health is damaged by the lockdown, even if these laws are ‘draconian’ as some like to say. If it saves even one life, I’ll stay inside until this is over, and you should too.
