There is an implicit statement that comes with much virtue-signalling, implying the speaker's higher social class and greater economic resources: the bien-pensant pro-lockdowners are not only claiming kindness but implying that they can afford inactivity, that their jobs will be there waiting for them, that they don't have to go to work anyway.

There's a fair overlap with the goody-two-shoes school swot types who have been successfully trained to jump to any authority figure's tune and derive their self-worth from their standing in the establishment's estimation: 'Look how well I can follow your rules - can I have an A, teacher?'

Well of course there is. And there's a corresponding reaction from people who have a teenagers conception of freedom and can't accept the idea of limits to action based around a notion of the common good or even the common will. The teenage individualist notion of freedom. You can't tell me what to do. Both these types of people exist, and in large numbers. But who cares.

You need to embrace change, biscuits. Enjoy things. Don't try and cling on to outdated notions. Relax, learn to let go. If they say mandatory vaccine I will go and hide in the hills with you. I will be in the guerilla vanguard don't worry. We won't go down without a fight.

"In 2005, GooGoosha appeared like a glazed apparition out of the gun-smoke of Andijan. Already a self-described poet and designer, Gulnara’s brief detour into music was an impressively mad move in a country famous for its extravagant progressive rock scene and exquisite devotion to the lute."

Well there's authority and then there's authority, isn't there? And "the establishment" is not monolithic. The authority of a professor of epidemiology derives from expertise and many years of hard work, while the authority of Boris Johnson derives from unearned privilege and the ability to act the part of a ruddy good chap.
Millions of people in this country are, to be blunt, anti-intellectual cap-doffers and forelock-tuggers who despise the former sort of authority and worship the latter sort. People who think "the elite" comprises anyone who's ever voluntarily read a book but who also adore toffs and royals.

with all due respect, this could be considered by many as a privileged perspective.
