The French yellow vests are still rioting saying this is a move by the capitalists to lower stock values so they can buy in cheap.

Honestly it does seem to have a lot of blatantly manufactured steps added on top of a normal health situation. Australia has implemented a 50k fine for people who break curfew.

When did 1984 become reality for the public? This is not the stiff upper lip, we don't give our lifestyle away to foreign threats, classic western attitude. This is blatant politicking for a police state off the back of dead people. Nobody wants to live like this and sometimes you have to choose for yourself.

I predict that in less than 3 weeks, most people like you will have changed your minds. When the time comes (and it will), please look back at how selfish you sounded here.

There are more ways to deal with this crisis than are being implemented. A desire to live outside of lockdown is not synonymous with selfishness, even if that were my motive.
