It's perfectly under the control. Not many people dying and at some point, it will vanish.

A study of 143 people in Rome's biggest hospital, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, followed hospital patients after they were discharged.
It showed 87% had at least one symptom nearly two months later and more than half still had fatigue.

Who said anything about personal responsibility? I don’t think hard lockdowns should be happening anywhere but places that have failed badly and let it spiral out of control. I’m certainly happy we have kept lockdowns to a bare minimum where l am after the initial one to get our response sorted. Personal responsibility has to play a part, certainly, but if you’re going to be a dumbass during a pandemic the government is there to hold those dummies who endanger others accountable, in the same way you get speeding tickets, drunk driving tickets, etc.
But going on nonsensically about it being “perfectly under control”, it being “a whole lotta nothing”, “barely killing anyone”, and “life goes on” shows zero empathy for the millions who have lost loved ones to this.

I would say personal responsibility, social responsibility (along with other human qualities) and then empathy should be the last deciding factor on how individuals cope with this sort of situation. Most of us will come short in at least one of these departments. Every individual is free to believe that they’re good and responsible until their breaking point, that’s when true goodness and sense of responsibility show. But generally speaking, most of us crumble down when being faced with someone else’s differences, that’s when states start deciding what’s best for everyone, which is the case most of the time.

Only reason you think that way, because you live in so called welfare state that gives you an access to the internet and the quality of life is higher than it is somewhere where people have nothing. If you were living somewhere else, you had 11 siblings and no food, you would get that food from anywhere whether there's a covid-19 threat or not. Now since you don't have to think about that, you're enjoying about the luxury we have in here in electricity and groceries for example, it gives you time to complain about how the closest grocery store of yours didn't have your favourite bread. Then when you have alot of things like most of the so called millionaires or billionaires, they start to feel bad about others, aka getting emphatic because they have something others don't. You're that millionare compared to people who have nothing, you have no perspective to anything that's real life somewhere. That's the same reason why people are complaining so much about everything nowdays. People are just generally doing so well, that one set back might make you desperate because you're not used to it. You're used to do so well and get whatever you want, that once that your favourite bread isn't available, you feel like shit, because it ain't normal. Normal is when you have everything in the palm of your hand and once this covid-19 came out you lost the control on your life.
Im emphatic enough to not wish death for anybody, but i still do realize that one human out of the billions ain't gonna run us into to extinct, neither even millions. This situation ain't about me or how im doing, it's about how people are doing and it seems people are more than willing to take the "risks" for living the life than sitting back at home. If you wanna sit back at home and stare the new cases, then do it but don't judge people living the life and that leads to the fact whether you're behind the monitor, window or anything else hiding from the reality, life still goes on.

My life hasn’t changed at all from Covid. We’ve had like 250 cases in my part of the country during the entire pandemic, thus far. We haven’t had a full lockdown yet. Schools only shut down for a few weeks in the spring. And the few businesses that did shut down initially are mostly fully reopened. I’ve worked, climbed, surfed, hiked, etc throughout this entire thing.
