In all fairness, post the 10 week lockdown, we had next to no cases and the majority of people I know who got a cold took the assumption ‘it’s not COVID (there’s no cases)’ and things went back to ‘normal’ to too great an extent. This was the majority of people I dealt with, for example at work.
I was ■■■■■■ when people took this approach because to me it was never really over. I’d challenge people on their assumption - the reply was often ‘but I’d have to self quarantine while I’m waiting on a test result (it’s inconvenient)’. I’d say to them listen ■■■■, if you don’t get tested and you give me what you have, you’re basically putting the burden on me to get tested. It’s unfair. But I was in the minority with my view on things I feel.
So my point is I can understand how this is happened, and the person who has caused the outbreak is a ■■■■, but so are most of the people I know - the behaviour was the same, despite the fact they didn’t have COVID.
I have dealt with similar discussions.
