Well that doesn’t surprise me I’m sick to death of seeing people continually flaunting the guidelines and social distancing, having parties etc, thinking this lock down is party and that the rules don’t apply to them. They wonder why it keeps being extended, they have no moral conscious or thought for other people can all, and doesn’t help that when you look to the to help they show no interest at all.
