They're token rules.

How can going to a holiday house possibly spread it? You and your family who already live together go to another house, and meet.... yourselves.

Except it poses no risk. I would be in contact with no more people than if I stayed at home.

Well they're doing it and not being stopped, including myself.

It would work fine, since 99% (a real number not an estimate, I got it form the New York City stats) of deaths are people with an existing medical condition. Anyone with one should stay indoors, anyone else should go out, catch it, recover, and be immune. Instead of the current f****ng nonsense which is ruining the world economy.

Most people wouldn't murder if it was made legal. Those that do would be killed by those with morals.
