Absolutely they are and quite right too.

and do not have loved ones who are. It really does come down to "not my problem, mate". Maybe a reflection on who we are as a society?

Ok, funnily enough, it turns out my wife has a immunoconflicted condition. It turns out that she is vulnerable to bacterial infection that can kill her. This bacteria is carried by every 1 in 1 million persons in the U.K. there are 67 people in the U.K. that can kill my wife just by touching her or breathing on her but we don’t know who or where they are.
I demand for the safety of my wife that the entire population of the U.K. wear masks and surgical gloves - all ages. If you do not know if you carry this bacteria or not you should isolate to be sure. Otherwise you’re saying “ not my problem mate” you selfish society.
Or perhaps my wife should be super very careful, her safety is her responsibility, not someone’s she has never met, and not the states. Why should her personal medical circumstances impinge on another’s persons life?

Not when there are alternatives. I can get a bus, taxi, have someone else drive.
My freedom to drink and travel to the place I want to drink has not been taken away.
