Be honest about it. People are questioning it because they can see through the bullshit and for me that makes it more likely people will not follow the rules. That’s just my opinion and I know everyone is different but I’m from the school of thought that people should be treated like adults. Some will ignore the rules regardless of course but I think even reasonable people are tired of being lied to.
But they kind of have, that was the given reason for reopening the hospitality sector back in June, it was the reason given for eat out to help out, that it would save jobs and places of business.
The government haven’t covered themselves in glory through this but I think it’s at a stage where literally every single decision or change that is made a whole load of people will moan about and give no thought to the logic behind it.
The governments mixed messaging shouldn’t be a reason to flout or ignore rules. You’re saying people want to be treated like adults well im afraid if you’re an adult you know that you doing wrong in response to a perceived wrong is not the appropriate adult reaction.
I got off a train a few days ago and a bloke was told off for not wearing a mask and his response was “talk to the fecking government, they don’t know what they’re doing”..
This isn’t being an adult.... I think the sooner people realise the goal is to limit spread and keep the economy going then changes like the ones made earlier make sense. There is no perfect fit or solution, everything is going to have it’s little loophole so to speak.
