I hate this "new normal". Whatever evidence you see for or against these policies, they are incredibly depressing to me. I don't want to spend the rest of my life 6 feet away from everyone afraid that they might infect me.
Not to mention, further isolation of the old. Keep away from old people! They're fragile and you could kill them with a hug!
It will be a difficult time for the next generation. And the aging previous one.
Hey! Some old folks have money. How about a permanent-quarantine old-folks community? Live in Healthy-Town, where Covid is banished! No young people ever allowed; no risk of infection! Electrified fences and sterilized goods in and out! Just pay a down payment to make your reservation now.
Well, this is within your choice.
The real problem is dealing with the weird consent issue people are having.
I'm happy to shake hands, cuddle, etc, it has a hell of a lot better risk reward ratio than say, eating fast food.
I hope that half of the population aren't worrywarts forever - we already have enough division in society.
To be honest I figure it's going to just be obvious as time goes on. When the pubs re-open in the UK I'm just going to assume that anyone there doesn't care about this nonsense, otherwise they'd barricade themselves inside.
