The bit about not being able to go outside is because people were using it as a pretext to explain why they weren't at home... when really they were off socialising and increasing possible infection points.

It's why they closed children's playgrounds here in Australia, parents were using their children playing to gather around, then held empty coffee cups to explain why their masks were off. I've never seen so many people desperately swigging at water bottles in a supermarket in my life, or young men clutching at low dose asthma inhalers either. Somewhat amusingly, none of these behaviours have shown up since.

If people could have shown any level of responsibility... but there we have it, don't we? They can't see beyond the end of their own nose, and this is why we are here, finding out.

When I arrived on earth the first thing that struck me was just how fickle, shortsighted, gullible, and inconsiderate the bulk of your species is. As this planet burns your noses are stuck in phones watching YouTube shorts.

We’ve decided to leave. You’re not worth conquering and certainly not worthy of joining the stellar empire. Expect no more crop circles or foo fighters.

Your people is a beast.
