Stephen Reicher - A level of individual responsibility was brought in. The Prime Minister would say 'stay home', it then changed to 'stay alert'. How can I stay alert to a virus I cant see? The First Minister has been clear and has used the phrasing don’t do the maximum the restrictions let you, do the minimum. the public are not to blame. The UK Gov has a discourse of blame. Most students are abiding by the rules. Sturgeon has challenged that. Young people are in public facing jobs, on public transport, in shared flats. Exposure is causing infection. Individual blame inevitable points to the more vulnerable.
Government should lead by example
