Neighbour has Grandson with her on Easter Sunday .

Icanhandthemback- i know its a strain on police but your advice is wrong! People should report it to police and they should deal with it! Otherwise the stupid people will carry on getting away with it wont they??

Hi There be grateful you are you. They are very ignorant and this is wrong with society at the moment. You are doing your bit and they aren't.
Personally I would ignore them and carry on being you.

3nanny6, Your neighbour's family are stupid, either that or she's got a bob or two and they've got a not so cunning and very dangerous plan! Your family love you enough to want you safe and well.

Yes the 'rule' of children where parents 'usually' another parent has access rights can carry on doing so is stupid as well- the parents allowing it or wanting it must not care about their kids health then!

It's possible the child and his mother have already had the virus and so she feels safe about having him with her, but of course without the benefit of a certificate and/or a new rule saying people who have had it can ignore social distancing, there can be no doubt someone is breaking the law here.

OMG Bradfordlass73! If the people who work in a police station dont get it AND conform to it what chance do others have??! Arent the coppers(i know bradford - speak) who work there giving her a quiet warning?? I would! Whats the matter with them!

A friend of mine said her neighbours had family over. My friend is vulnerable so she didn't go an sit in her garden. I feel very frustrated with people that do this. I would live to have family over. But would rather be safe than sorry. Stay home stay safe.

Etheltbags1- that COULD have been a cancer nurse though,if the childs on chemo?

Neighbours on both sides of us had visitors on Easter Sunday. We are all over 70 on this estate so it really annoyed us. It wouldn't be so bad if they stayed in the gardens but they all went inside stayed a few hours and then went off in cars. Why do some people think it's OK? We haven't seen any family for almost four weeks now so it just made us angry and sad.

A young family in our street still has the builders in, doing their loft conversion.

Another neighbour had children from different homes playing together in their trampoline...

I am so thankful for the technology to enjoy video calls with my children and grandchildren until this is all over. I send cards and little parcels to them in the meantime.

As we know or should know as we age so does our immune stem and am horrified that so many of the elderly cannot for once take on board that not seeing their GC twenty four seven is not the end of the world.I know for a fact my elderly neighbour visits her GC every moment possible Is she so blind that she is at risk by her stupidity.I am now isolating myself from my neighbour.

ReadyMeals; I cannot say for sure but I do not think the child and his mother have had the virus. I cannot say that for certain as I was so angry with how they were behaving I just did not want to speak to them. In regard of the child and it's mother she lives in a different household and not with the childs father, they are together but not living together.

The childs mother lives with her own mother and father and so this girls mother although perhaps in late forties going on to fifty is unwell has disability bars outside the house struggles to walk and is helped most of the time by her husband and other daughters, she is rather large probably for health reasons cannot walk far. So the daughter takes her child back to that household and brings further germs there.
In my opinion they are all stupid and whatever comes to them is all their own fault.

Beverly10 You have hit the nail on the head I am completely isolating myself from my neighbours. Luckily I am quite detached from neighbour that had her grandson and I have my own porch it is open but far enough away from my neighbours front door and is over 2 metres away from her.

Sorry if this is too late to answer but I had to reply and say that a 'friend' of ours drove from Bristol to Gloucester yesterday to help he brother decorate!!!! And another 'friend' had her 2 young grandsons visit to collect easter eggs and cards. I just can't believe this 'It doesn't refer to me' attitude. The idiocy of some people is never ending.

There are some very stupid people about that’s for sure.
My neighbour had ‘visitors’ on Easter Saturday.
I am shocked because they seemed a well informed intelligent couple.
I am finding it hard not to be judgemental though. I don’t know their circumstances but it can’t be right.

On Easter Sunday morning I went down to sit in communal garden I live 3rd floor in a retirement development Visitors are not allowed inside building In the garden I saw to my amazement a small child looking for hidden Easter eggs with her Grandparents (residents) and her parents (visitors) I left immediately and went back to my flat They were in the garden for at least 3 hours I was disgusted

We're being plagued by a virus which is nasty and indiscriminate, but simultaneously we have another virus in society and that's those people who somehow can't seem to heed government advice, think they're entitled, or have just switched off from the news. Whatever, these people are not thinking straight and the outcome will definitely be a spike in covid cases after their selfishness. We are all missing the cuddles from grandchildren and wider family but there are thousands of people missing the ability to say goodbye in the flesh to their dying relatives. Your neighbours are not only selfish but stupid 3nanny6 - I would find it difficult not to mention this at some point in the future.

I also think this obsession with Zooming/FaceTiming your children/grandchildren all the time is over the top.
I absolutely understand it if you are alone/recently widowed etc, but why should the frequency of contact increase at this time?
I think it puts extra pressure on people. I am not ‘seeing’ my children or grandchildren any more than I did previously. It suits me fine. I know I am loved just as before.
I will probably get disapproving replies now!

So sad when neighbours become part of the Police state ….its like we are being asked to spy on one another and report any movement WE deem unacceptable to the Police...…...in my view Sweden has the right approach rather than mass hysteria ! If you read a day on day death toll in the UK for the past few years you will see in winter many die from other causes ...sad but an inevitable part of life. I do worry about those who care for people with the virus ….care home workers, the NHS, delivery drivers, Police, fire service personnel etc etc and think it unbelievable they are not provided with the necessary PPE …..and that over 70's are being encouraged to sign DNAR forms ( already have one, so that's me sorted !) and that deaths in care homes are not counted ……..never thought I would live to see the day the once Great Britain became a Police state ….very sad

People are continuing to flout the rules by which 95% of people are living by and (I hate to quote the government slogan but I will) are staying indoors, saving lives, protecting the NHS. Unfortunately there is not, and will never be, a cure for stupidity!

I had a call from my sister as i do most sundays or i ring her, and she said her daughter had been to cut her hair,i was quite shocked and told her i thought this was a mistake,as her daughter works in care home, her other daughter had also called, but she said they kept their distance
I did point out that she couldn't have got her hair cut at a distance so it was a silly thing to do, both on her part and her daughters
Also her next door neighbour comes in every night from 7 to about 9 to watch the soaps together
Again she thinks it's ok, because they see each other every day, but both go dog walking, not always together, so do see other people while out
Sometimes you just can't make people see sense

You could be describing the road where I live! Someone had a visit from family all day on Saturday. The person they visited is over 70 and by that token alone falls into the vulnerable bracket!

The majority of us are keeping our distance, if family call to collect or deliver groceries etc bags are swapped very sensibly, but there's always one who thinks the advice just doesn't apply!

Beggars belief, will we ever conquer this virus?!?!

ALANaV This is not a police state. If you had ever lived in one, you would think this is Freedom Hall!

In a society where everyone worked together to make a policy of keeping away from others so as to minimise the spread of this virus (a policy which was worked out in consultation with scientific advisors) it would not be necessary for those who refused to co-operate and just acted according to their own individual wishes to be shamed.

The opinmion of the majority of their neighbours and the rest of the population is that what they are doing is anti-social and dangerous, so of course people express that opinion by trying to make sure that they stop being so bloody-minded and selfish.

The ones who have broken the national isolation for their own indulgence chose to swim against the current and endanger, not only themselves, but the whole population.

It's so wrong and you shouldnt beat yourself up at feeling envious...I have to visit my 90 year old Mum daily...she lives nearby and needs me to administer eye drops and food...I dearly wish I didn't have to visit. Yesterday on my short drive home I saw my granddaughter walking her dog...we waved but I didn't stop and I cried when I got home.

I saw this the other day and thought it was succinct and clever ....

The spread of Covid -19 is based on two factors:

1. How dense the population is

2. How dense the population is

3Nanny6 your neighbours fall into category 2
