Corona Virus: How Are We Doing?

[marinyork]

But to suggest keeping a child from either one of their parents for months on end is absurd. If you're being that strict, then people should be banned from shopping and we should all have rations dropped at our door.

It'd help if you didn't allege things others haven't said. C R didn't say months. If people keep on adding bits on then everyone in society is going to be falling out with everyone else and you will be so jumpy you will be falling out with everyone in your life and have a miserable time.

The original lockdown was for three weeks. One of the things that will have been taken into account is the mixed messages from having a 3 week break and then relaxing and reapplying. Or taking it away later. From the behaviour point of view it's probably why the government probably clarified that the exeption was permanent.

Accy is calling me a hero for staying indoors and trying not to help spread this virus, I think that I am certainly not.

I stopped on the 18th of March and unlike you who goes shopping everyday have only been twice for essentials. So that is it since the 18th we have only twice been in contact with others.

I wish I could avoid the shops more too but don't even have a freezer at the moment. I can squeeze a couple of loaves and a bag of frozen veg in the ice compartment in the fridge but I'm finding I need to shop a couple of times per week.

Some are out everyday though.

More accurately, the original lockdown was indefinite, with a review after three weeks.

Some might not even have a fridge,never mind a freezer! I'm not one of those by the way(although my freezer is about the size of 2 shoe boxes),but I do have fair reasons for nearly every day shopping.

Well strictly speaking various other aspects of the legislation will be debated every six months. So not even that is correct. Generally expire no later than march 2022.

You know what my point was. It applies to you as well. If people keep on adding bits on everyone will fall out. Same with you, same with electric andy. You're doing it right now taking a quote out of context to get a few likes and stoke emotions of people.

Exactly, and we may get another 3 weeks added today.
Easter behaviour will dictate what happens next week.
Fingers crossed the idiots get the message.

Sadly I think we're going to see more stringent measures

Accy if your shopping local daily and paying attention to hand washing and being careful about distancing then that's ok.

This is about being considerate to others.
So if your particular situation is as such Just be aware of the need to follow the guide as far as possible in your daily life.


I'm sure you as much as any of us wouldn't want to be responsible for passing this awful disease around

When the lockdown was brought in 3 weeks ago,I never imagined it'd be lifted after the first review. I think it'll go on for months,even if those playing cricket,having picnics,having house parties etc were to stop their antics today.

Sometimes keeping it simple is the best policy

It may go on for a few months,personally I think end of June.

Unfortunately certain parts of the population could make it more unbearable for the well behaved.
Stir crazy residents in my care home are already flipping.
Bad tempers and door slamming

Yes,I am shopping locally. The two places I use are about a 10 minute walk from my flat. I've always carried and used hand sanitizer,long before it became a sought after item. I also try and keep my distance from other shoppers,though I can't say the same for many who don't keep their distance from me. Yes,some will say in that case it might not be your fault if you were to unknowingly pass the virus onto others,but even though you have done your bit you are still a problem.
