[Genuine Realist]

Hey lex, you shouldn't go see your friends because we're in an uncontrolled pandemic. Just because you don't want to hear it doesn't mean it's not good advice.

It might be absolutely terrible advice, depending on your circumstances.

And even in times of uncontrolled pandemic, other social values remain important. 

Above all, the science seems to vary from county to county. Not surprisingly, the regimen suggested will be influenced by the other values of the speaker. How could it be otherwise?

A health official who speaks of 'social bubbles being popped' and apparently reveling in that, is reflecting other beliefs of hers. To think this is a neutral, detached observation, is quite naive.
