To willingly and knowingly bring it in and wear the consequences.  It isn’t until this week that I’ve fully realised the impact. Last week other than masks, for the last 6 months we could eat anywhere shop anywhere play anywhere and know that we would not catch Covid nor get shut down. Now, already hundreds if not a thousand people have been put into a 7 day or 14 day lockdown simply because they ate at a particular restaurant etc. Three of the close or casual contact places listed I’ve been to just this week!We actually cannot ignore the small numbers because it’s the resultant consequences - 7 day isolation - that is sending people crazy. We have less a feeling of freedom now than we did last week.</blockquote>
