Those of us in the UK have genuine concerns about Johnson oversimplifying a serious social issue. it is too easy to say 'we should just adapt our lifestyles' but where adapting our lifestyles means that we are putting ourselves at risk by everyday activities like buying food because little has been put into place to help people to make these adaptations I find being accused of idiotic rambling offensive.

I have an online delivery arriving in 15 days, but I am lucky that I have enough food at home to get by in the meantime. If before then I want to get fresh milk or fresh food I have to put myself at risk - and although so far I do not have any symptoms because there is limited access to testing, for all I know I could be putting others at risk.

I am not playing party politics - whatever party is in power, we should be looking towards strong leadership rather than Johnson's populist babbling. We have a role in protecting ourselves and society as best we can. Society, in turn, has a role in protecting us as best it can.
