Why doesn’t anyone feel the need to follow lockdown protocol?

gentle reminder : this thread serves no purpose other than a much needed rant.

With cases reaching 4 figures and rising everyday, you’d think more people would be concerned about the lockdown but so far it’s only the supermarkets who’re on everyone’s asses about sanitising hands before entry.

I could see almost the entire population on the streets taking this lockdown as a vacation from jobs, schools etc.

Do people think they’re invincible? It’s these same assholes that show up at the hospital a couple weeks later waiting to be triaged.

People are stupid all over the world.
EDIT : just noted a hint of condescension in this comment but I’m just pissed lol

 

[Visual Eagle]

My country is doing just fine.. a case or two per day but that is it.

 

[RRunner]

Not condescending. Just curious.

A lot of countries are very strict with lockdown others less so.

They think they know better and the rules don't apply to them.

Rather like a few on here at times...

Smart folks those Europeans.

I meant I was condescending with the comment “people are stupid all over the world”. Haha

You’re right about countries being strict with the rules but the people need to know the govt’s looking out for them and not trying to take their “freedom” and “citizenship” rights away.

Pretty sure I’m guilty of that lol

Without being political, it seems to me the me more seriously a countries leadership take the virus the more seriously the population take it.

Oh now I know what you mean

 

[TheVigilante]

They are going to always put other people lives on risk impatient

 

[SEOMadHatter]

It'll mostly come down to a mix of cultural and political. Look at somewhere like South Korea they handled it like fucking champs. Their government reacted properly and culturally they give a shit about other people. Other places will literally protest against their own self-interest and safety 'because freedom'.

Here in the UK our government appear to be taking it seriously, yet not the entirety of our population actually are.

Then again, we are the country that think 30,000 deaths only appears to be bad, because we are "world leaders" in "collecting statistics". What a croc of crap.

As for the populus, the older generation don't give a damn, because they have the "well I'm going to die sooner or later anyway" mentality. One way systems in supermarkets that everyone ignores. Social distancing that 80% of people ignore. Yet our government is going to be lifting/easing lockdown in the coming days.

Watch this space, UK will double, if not triple their deaths in 2 weeks from lockdown ending.

This was happening in my country as well. Then the government took good measures since the first patient. The new daily cases went from 30/day to an average of 7/day.
So yeah people are dumb and will disobey unless there are consequences

Money over life is their battle cry, but we can’t control others so I’m following the lockdown even though it’s hurting my finances

I guess that does explain a few things. But there’s only so much a govt can do, the rest should be the responsibility of each individual household.

protest against their own self-interest and safety 'because freedom'.

This is exactly what’s going on in most countries. Apparently the lockdown tinges their right to live a free and careless life.

Here too the restrictions are being eased even though the past couple of months of lockdown haven’t been imposed to a T. I guess there’s no cure for stupidity.

7 a day? When was the first case recorded in your country?

You’re right about us not being able to control others. The worst part is their stupidity affects us.

 

[ziko12345]

7 a day? When was the first case recorded in your country

8th of march

Because of a big ego and lack of empathy.

 

[Leader777]

For some reason if you tell thoes people to go out they won't.. it's like drugs if they are illegal they do them but if they started as legal they won't tho them at all

 

[dongosho]

What exactly do you think will happen if we all stay at home ? The virus will go away in 2 months, we will all clap our hands, draw unicorns and hug each other ? And don't give me the crap about hospital capacity.

 

[Satal]

At the moment I'm driving my other half to work every day as she works as a doctor in a hospital and we have a drive past a park to get there and it's been rather busy the last few days.

I can see the discussion of whether the Government did enough etc. but every time we see that park we know it's more down to the "British Public" thinking the rules don't apply to them and as long as they aren't coughing they can meet up and see friends.

What I find sad, is looking at the confirmed cases charts and comparing how the UK/US are doing to other places like Italy, Spain, France and Germany.
