Sumption: What I say to them is I am not a scientist but it is the right and duty of every citizen to look and see what the scientists have said and to analyse it for themselves and to draw common sense conclusions.
Is this not exactly what we would all like? Who can take issue with that statement?
Are we really becoming a population that requires a set of traffic lights at every junction because we are so incapable of looking both ways and deciding when it is safe to pull out that we need a green light to tell us?
Unfortunately it seems so. Be it the taxi driver who comes back from a holiday in Italy at the height of the outbreak there and then complains because nobody told him he shouldn't go straight back to work, the people who the day after the government issued guidelines on social distancing, staying at home unless essential and avoiding travel packed the tube trains as they normally do and then complained that it wasn't their fault because there were so few trains?
Are these individuals really incapable of looking at what the scientists are saying and deciding what to do for themselves?
I personally think it's a crying shame responsible individuals can't make their way safely down to their boats and enjoy self isolation in safety but it's those with a lack of personal responsibility that are dictating we can't. The sort of people who complain there isn't a set of traffic lights at every junction..........
