Setting aside my personal feelings on the subject, professionally speaking from the perspective of someone who has to attempt to "enforce" these and every rule we live by; I would suggest blaming the government for this is not the way to go. Society knows that murder, rape etc is wrong, do we blame BJ or NS every time that happens? I have no great feelings towards the Tory party or indeed any of the current political parties.
This particular legislation is a bit confusing to say the least, whilst you are advised to stay at home there are several "outs" that are without doubt being abused by many.
I can attest to the lack of PPE and agree that it is a disgrace that front line NHS staff appear not to be adequately protected or have been routinely tested as of yet.
So whilst I agree there have been/still are failings; for me peoples self entitlement and or arrogance is the main issue here. The virus doesn't distinguish between sex, age, race, religion, political feelings, sexual orientation, disability, etc. We as part of the society, can do our bit... by doing very little, which as part of the WH family I know is hard.
Stay safe all.
