Get on with it but wash hands, maintain separation and wear masks for example? I'd say worth evaluating if it could be done.
Sounds reasonable but only if people are sensible - they clearly aren't. Told that restrictions are needed and they start on Monday, thousands go out for a last fling on Sunday. If people believe that restrictions are necessary they don't do that.
Back in March when it was stated that there would be lockdown-type restrictions, to be announced, we immediately went into self isolation.
There are lots of proud anti-maskers, presumably furious that they can't refuse a vaccine that hasn't been offered yet, and people who really think that it is some kind of hoax.
It's only the fact that it would endanger the rest of us that stops me thinking "tell them they can do what they like and contribute to herd immunity". They scoff that the fatality rate is "only 1%". Half the population don't understand percentages anyway and clearly haven't considered the possibility that could mean 500,000 dead.
