Meeting indoors has been illegal in London since December 2 and based on current communication will be illegal until at least March 2, so that'll be four months of it being illegal to meet any person from outside your household indoors.

I actually had to look this up in order to make sure I had the dates right, but it's absolutely correct.

It is also illegal to meet a single person in your garden or outside unless you're exercising. I don't have exact timings on that, because in order to protect my mental health I've stopped following the news.

"A tad excessive" is understating it a bit. It's inhuman. Writing it down makes me feel ill. When people talk about it as if it's normal and okay, I get an intense feeling of anger and a desire to cause them pain.

So if you want your perspective on why people are acting like "covidiots" or whatever offensive name we're applying to our brothers now - this is why.

I am done with bureaucratic despots telling me what to do, I am not a guinea pig to be experimented on.
