Coronavirus: Will You Comply With The Government’s Advice?

[naomi24]

Whether you fall into the group classified as ‘at risk’, or are over 70 and advised to remain at home, or younger and fit but requested to abandon your social life, will you comply - and if not why not?

Me? I think we are duty bound.

I’ve recently started retail work so I’m experiencing excess human contact (it’s mega busy), the kids finish school tomorrow and boy #1 has been told his paramedics ambulance placement is cancelled (bit worrying, everything was hunky dory yesterday). Until I know different, the kids won’t be socialising although I hope we can go for the odd walk. Himself also works in food retail so he will continue working. I don’t expect I’m much different to anyone else, but with one thing and another my head is fried.

Masks don't work.
How does everyone go at a quiet time?
—————-
1. Depends on the mask.
2. Work it out for yourself! (Hint: I went to Tesco at 21.30 last Saturday) Or get a home delivery.
3. You didn’t make an excuse about the social distancing, you’re slipping......

Thank you Alba. Can't find it and too tired to look further tonight. Perhaps tomorrow. xx

I would sooner spend my day with a handful of mates than with thousands of strangers coming into the store I work at. But I have to work, and my employer keeps encouraging these people by selling them food and toilet rolls.
I will make a non essential journey tomorrow when I get on a crowded train to go to the swimming baths. Obviously, I will wash my hands after I get out of the pool.

[ummmm]

A family friend died of it on the 16th :-(

My daughters friend has been tested positive so she's in isolation. They young, fit and healthy.

Yes...I will be complying. I've been poorly so I haven't left the house in 3 weeks.

Should everyone goes to Tesco at 21.30 on a Saturday?

Or
Should everyone get home delivery? (drivers would have to work 2426 hours a day though)

[ChillDoubt]

That attitude reminds me of when a drunk driver is involved in a collision.
Invariably they get away with no injuries but maim or kill an innocent bystander/motorist travelling in the opposite direction.

Do as you will.......

Current wait for a free slot at Tesco for delivery in my neck of the woods is 4 weeks, I still won't be shopping but without help will eventually fade away.

LB, I had a quick look but couldn't find him.
Might be on youtube tomorrow?

ummmm, I'm so sorry :-( x

// get a home delivery. //

Yes, get a visit from someone who has visited 50 other people on his shift before coming to your house. Really Smart.
The virus lives on surfaces for 72 hours, so going shopping at 9:30pm to social distance is a bit pointless. Hundreds of people will have used that trolley/basket throughout the day. Anyone going shopping is therefore acting irresponsibly.

My last post was to Gromit.

royfromaus,
Grow up and at least try and act like an adult, even if you can’t think like one.

[Barmaid]

Mr BM is higher risk. Consequently we are not going out. I have been out for supplies but kept my distance and employed rigorous hygiene.

Anyone who adopts "I'm ok and I'll do what I want" is just bloody irresponsible.

I'm not sure why people are adopting an "i am ok" mentality. You might be; but you may pass onto someone else.

[royfromaus]

Mamylynne's post must tell you you're being too simplistic about it, ChilledDoubt?

[ChillDoubt]

Some dreadful excuses here for some who can’t and won’t take responsibility for their own actions.

Oh well, Devil take the hindmost, if only natural selection included the selfish and profligate to be chosen first.

Goodnight.

[Arksided]

Ummm, sorry for your loss and hope you'll be fighting fit again soon.

[ummmm]

Chill...we can't control what other people do. I live with 3 adults. They go out to work everyday. I can't stop them.

[Mamyalynne]

Not an excuse to state a reality and some people won't have the help to call on but have to foray out and try to get what they need - sad but true.

So sorry to read of your friend Ummmm x

Stay safe.

[ummmm]

Arky...I feel OK now :-)

[Canary42]

Yes I will (and have been since the beginning of this month as I'm well into the at risk group). But it's getting increasingly difficult with delivery schedules filling up or closing altogether in many cases.

I absolutely agree with your "duty bound" outlook, but sadly the egocentric "It's OTT" ostriches will undermine our efforts.

If things pan out as in this graph, it is going to get as bad if not worse than Italy.
