That's a very good old saying but wasn't the full saying "You can please all of the people some of the time, you can please some of the people all of the time but you can't please all of the people all of the time"????


Yeah, I think it was actually, but I was just trying to remember it off of the top of my head when I typed it originally and obviously misquoted it.

 

Anyway, getting back to the topic of the thread, I really do feel that this whole issue of quarantine in relation to Covid19 has the potential to be very divisive, as with many other policies already implemented in relation to controlling the virus, because there will always be people who take the matter very seriously and are willing to do whatever the Government deems to be necessary to try and limit the spread of the disease, whereas there are also groups of people who would appear to be the polar opposite and behave with an attitude of "For God's sake, stop worrying - this whole Covid19 thing has been blown out of all proportion."  If people get complacent or simply refuse to go along with the rules put in place to protect people from the virus then the potential for things to go wrong is going to be much greater than it may have been otherwise.  How many more people have to die before those too stubborn to listen and take adequate precautions realise that they've more than likely played a part in the spread of the disease and subsequently change their minds?  We're not out of the woods yet, and we may not be for a very long time to come.
