I'd ask you to reconsider that point of view. People take news differently. Some are offended by negativity but that's understandable. Others feel they need to make the message clear because some are only just getting it. I don't really like that you've casually insulted any number of people you didn't bother to name, taken on the role of a mind reader who can see they are just getting a kick out of it, because all you're doing is perpetuating this cycle where we split down the middle on an issue due to our bias and worldview, put everyone else on the other side, and at that point, people just come out with some rubbish instead of communicating with the other lot in order to understand their message and their motives. It's always a mistake to say casually assume the worst of people, and never more so when you are in the same situation. Please consider that you are taking aim at people, some of whom who are scared, ill, facing the death of loved ones (and NOT just the elderly, but for example, my sister, recently treated for Breast Cancer)... some of whom they will never see again.
GDPR? That's the most bizarre example of whataboutism I think I've encountered in some time. There's more negativity in that, and the other normal tropes of lazy political argument that we've become used to than people ever realise. It's time to STOP. We're in real trouble now, having ended up with a parliament and poliltics that couldn't if it wanted to form a government of national unity, despite us being in such danger that we have to curtail our basic liberties for an undetermined amount of time just so we can sit and watch our national services fail, and our state, our country, fail to protect us from what is - any day now - going to be a failure to offer reasonably humane outcomes to thousands of loved and valued friends and relatives who are suffering through no fault of their own. And this ISN'T the worst case. We're locked up, missing family and friends. Millions are newly impoverished or facing financial uncertainty, the frail are dying prematurely, we don't have the equipment to offer them the best chance of life. We haven't yet seen a down turn in deaths in any European country that all those Sombrero graphs clearly shows. We've been given schedules for testing and told after they've passed that they will now be next months goal.
Under the circumstances, what exactly SHOULD our perspective be? What WOULD require a bit of urgency? What WOULD make a bit of hang-wringing and generally very reasonable negative appraisal acceptable enough that you would restrain yourself from dismissing us as people who just want to take a perverse enjoyment in things?
