No, this is just plain envy (which however is a force to reckon with).
You control the virus by not mixing or travelling great distances, it is why the UK, and others, have movement restrictions.
One set of rules for everyone, they don't vary based on the thickness of your wallet or your mode of transport.
Buying a sandwich, if it is local, isn't an issue.
It's travelling a distance to get one where the problems start.

Unfortunately some members of the public think they know better, or are smarter, by trying to find loopholes to justify why rules don't apply to them.
Heaven forbid anyone be inconvenienced or have to make sacrifices so we can all emerge from this crisis.
If the same attitudes and weakness of character existed in the 40's, they would all have German accents now.
