Why won't people take COVID-19 seriously?

I mean, what is it going to take? What really burns me up is how people have the audacity to mock and harass us healthcare workers, like we are the ones who are responsible for putting you on lockdown 🙄.

Self-centeredness? They think they HAVE TO go to the beach, a party or other large gathering, etc, etc, and that is more important than taking measures to ensure the safety of themselves and others? And, BTW, Rose415, I value and appreciate you healthcare workers and all you have done in these recent months!

@dhemp Adding to the unwanted and foolish crowding, in my part of the world, has been the sheer lack of any respect some of these people have for the beaches or inland areas they visit.

As well as selfishly leaving masses of litter for others to clear at Council tax-payers' or landowners' expense, some have caused forest and heath fires by using and abandoning disposable barbeques and glass bottles in places left very dry by the long near-drought Spring we have had.

They have no respect for their surroundings, so clearly have no respect for anyone else, and none for themselves - so are hardly likely to care about pandemic-control measures.
