I think you’re absolutely right, Adi. Suspect the pedantry and ‘excuses to not follow the guidance’ come from the ‘randomness’ of the virus.
To be totally anecdotal...I know a guy who, at about twenty stones and in his fifties should fit the stereotype of a potential Covid candidate...but no...his nine stone wet through, early forties, fit as a fiddle wife was the one who got it, and he nursed her through nine really difficult weeks while remaining completely healthy.
Likewise I know of a local family where Mum, Dad and Grandad all died of it within three days and yet the rest of the family are completely untouched.
So random...so inexplicable...so scary. Perhaps the Government have raised the bar in terms of expectation too early. Not entirely their fault.
Sorry about your old school friend.
