Thank you.

I don't know what I have to say to explain this to these people. Maybe it's not quite explainable.

Restrictions haven't pushed their buttons in the same way. The only way to get this across is to describe all of their needs disappearing. But it doesn't hit the same, and it seems petty.

So it goes.

I do not think it's easy to convey to someone what this last year has been like for a lot of people who live alone. As such, I can't really blame the crowd that pushes for more intense lockdown measures - their motives for doing so are generally good. Thankfully the vaccine is being distributed so I'm fairly confident this will all end soon
Yes, I understand how damaging this is for people who are alone. It's also the reason why I've been staying inside since march, to help get this whole thing behind us. Unfortunately some people just don't give a shit.
No one has a moral responsibility to not live their lives, if ethics are universal. And no one has the ethical right to hinder others from living and letting live. End these government lockdowns
I give a shit, just not to the level that I'm willing to kill myself for the cause.
