Will is a young man who has had greater authoritarian restrictions placed on him than has been experienced by anyone in British history.
No PM, no leader and no monarch, no matter how dictatorial, has ever come close to restricting British people's lives as Boris Johnson has done. Much is talked about what the World War II generation had to go through, but they never had anything close to these restrictions on lives; not remotely. Not allowed to go out? Not allowed to go to a shop? Or eat in a cafe? Will is living under far greater restrictions than even German Jews did pre-war. That isn't a moral comparison, but meant to make you understand that even a malevalant, potentially murderous regime didn't initially go this far.
And, as he points out, there is virtually zero danger to himself.
Maybe it is YOU who should reflect a little bit; you and the other elderly, who seem to think these aren't even sacrifices and that they should be taken as a matter of duty. These are sacrifices you never had to make as young people, instead making them now when they probably have the lowest impact of any other time in your lives.
Maybe YOU should take some time to actually understand why he thinks as he does rather than moralising because it suits you.
Apparenly the hospitals are filling up with middle aged people. That's my age group. That's scary. But I won't ever be so arrogant as to expect a 26 year old to give up another 6-12 months of their life to protect me as if it's nothing, as if it shouldn't even need to be mentioned, as if it's just a matter of course and not any kind of big deal.
Maybe that was the case in the first few months, but a year on I would expect your generation to have a little more reflection and gratitude. A lot is said about gratitude to the NHS but by God, we should be out there clapping the young who are complying as well.
