some ppl simply wouldnt be alive if others didnt do the thinking and decision-making for them.
one of my neighbors, a woman in her late 60s, who survived cancer and chemo-therapy two years ago, was complaining about the strict restriction yesterday. "it would just be really nice if they let us do our shopping again. it's been awhile...," she was carping about like a teenager who doesnt want to accept consequences. i told her she could buy stuff online, but she just looked at me in a disgusted way and said, "nawe". would be a good occasion to learn sth new, but no.
a friend of mine who is hiv positive and lives in a big city with a very high death rate, is still using public transport without any safety precautions, gloves, mask, etc. and thinks that the restrictions are exaggerated and wont help much anyway. i was a bit hesitant to ask him if he considers himself being part of a risk group, and he just answered that the medication has stabilized him 100%, so he does not need to worry. i didnt reply, but i just wondered if the artificial stabilization of ones immune system, esp. with some medication being no longer available nowadays, is really as reliable as a normal, healthy one. i'd be at least extra-careful, i must say.
