Do we only change our behaviour when our government tells us, or do we think for ourselves about what we can do now to protect the vulnerable?

"Beautiful pics x Haha thanks I realise now it seems like I’m canvassing for meets But I’m not meeting as I think it’s more responsible to socially distance yourself at the moment. Just curious how long are you going to stay in total isolation for ? " I’m not in isolation. I saw friends today and I’m still going to work. But I’m no longer going to a work do this week, or seeing my family (some of whom have health conditions) for Easter. I’ll probably do this until there is more clarity about what is safe. I am suspicious that our government is taking such a different approach to other countries. I don’t think I’m expert enough to know which way is right and I’d rather be cautious. | |||

Actually you do stand a greater chance of an std than the virus
Our risk perceptions are twisted "Not sure how you know that when WHO and other organisations are struggling to work out the current epidemiology. You’re guessing. I would argue that a virus you can contract from standing in close proximity is more virulent than the STIs you can only contract through sexual inter course.

Why do we think we won’t end up in the situation Italy is in?"Exactly that my point your happy to meet with the risk of an std you absolutely do not protect yourself from herpes or spreading it or other oral transmitted nasties Yet something you can catch from work you choose to go to work see friends but not meet I'm not saying you're wrong I'm illustrating how it's all a bit twisted | |||

So with that theory you should never meet anyone in case they have something but no symptoms? "Depends If the virus is nasty and you want to prevent its spread then absolutely not If it's the normal flu then why not At the moment I have no idea which it is thus think option a is wise as long as that no contact rule is not just meets but everyone and that everyone adheres to it else your prob right its futile | |||
