    If there was some plan or some goal I think people would adhere to the guidelines better.

    Right now there doesn't seem to be an end in sight so fewer and fewer people care about following the restrictions.

    So it's not okay to blame people's impatience and lax adherence to expected measures each individual should be pursuing?
    The plan is to follow the guidelines; reduce contacts for the foreseeable, wear masks and keep apart to limit the spread. The goal is to not fill up our tiny number of ICU beds. That's the best we've got. Sure, we would have less protests if most are welded into their homes...

    If more and more people care less about restrictions then the end will always be beyond the horizon.

    Would be an introvert not into the big nights out but missing some friends alright. Working from home the whole time. Missing meating people for a coffee or lunch whixhbi prefer over a big night out.Have eaten out 3 times so far but each carefully planned. One of my best friends at a baby just before lockdown and still havent seen them.Met 2 friends from work on a tues evening when it would be quiet and boy was it quiet only the 3 if us and another couple in the restaurant. Another time myself and himself off work and we went our for sometime to eat to get a break from the house. Booked for 5pm and we were the only ones there at the time. Had to postpone our summer wedding will be going ahead with just immediate family only. Couldnt be dealing with the worry for 2 weeks about were the 50 allowed be ok.

    I think also when and where you go helps too. Was talking to someone who went out for dinner Limerick one weekend recently and it put them off going out again. 3 groups of 6 arrived and woulnt stick to the rules. The all knew each other and kept getting up and mixed the tables and changing seat. At no time did the staff tell them to copp the f***on. Friend left straight after the main course and flet safe in the pub they went for 1 drink in before heading hime
    I hope that we still be here in a few years time and that we can make up for lost time then
