Neighbour has Grandson with her on Easter Sunday .

Tell that to the families of children who HAVE died then- the five yr old,thirteen year old,sixteen yr old to name only a few- yes they CAN die from it too- and not all have other health problems either!

I dont understand why some folk are 'going out' when theres nowhere open in the first place! Theres only supermarkets& foodshops so its not like a great day out is it? Which is why some are still 'visitting' as a social outlet- cause theres nowhere else to go!! But unless its cracked down on itl never stop spreading! Then it wont be a case of 'If' you get it- just 'WHEN'!! Dont they see this?? The government aren't being specific enough on the rules of what you can& cant do and they need to put leaflets through doors with strong words& pics of the folk in hosp on them- not a polite letter on P M's behalf like we had recently.Its not enough.

Sorry saggi,im missing a point? Why is your daughter not with her son if hes only 13? My youngset has to be sheilded because of his health(hes 17 nxt wk) but he hasnt had to move out? Does her son normally live with his dad then?sorry if you think im nosey.

One person with no symptoms can be shedding the virus and can exponentially infect hundreds of people. Every door handle, cup, plate, chair, bannister etc can be virus laden.
The people who are visiting and the hosts are being completely stupid. For some people a police interview or a monetary fine are the only way they can be made to understand. Having said that, I read about a young man whose fine has been trebled and he still wanders around town aimlessly.
We are in the Lakes, and several families have been caught trying to sneak into the area overnight! They needed a bit of a holiday apparently. Despite the fact that there are very few hospitals, huge distances apart, and pretty small! All the hotels, cafes, non food shops, attractions and car parks are closed. One family had travelled over 200 miles.
What were they thinking?

For some reason, there are people who think that this is happening to other people.
The most common cause of transmission is between families. There was a report today from Scotland of three people from the same family who have died leaving an adult son on his own. The reports were that they were keeping within the rules so how much more at risk are people who don't.
People also think that children can't get it. They are less likely to die from it but there have been a number who have caught it and it could cause long term lung problems.
There seems to be a danger now that politicians will bow to proessure to end the lock down too early.
It has also been found that there is more than one strain which is going to make things more difficult.

We ought to start a hashtag called You Too (or similar) reminding everyone they are ALL supposed to make the effort also to stop this virus spreading and killing people.

You are feeling how many GPs are feeling just now, so not wrong. What is wrong is neighbour and her family having a get together. So wrong, but afraid there are a lot like them. A 2 year old, just an ideal vehicle for transferring germs etc.

Perhaps its ok to feel envious - often accepting the way we feel is a step towards letting go of it and moving on. So feel the sadness, the anger & the frustration of these times and be ok in the feeling of those emotions.

Some people prefer to live with an open mind to what's going on whilst others prefer to close their mind. As soon as we judge others we're closing our mind & restricting our view - even when others do the things we would so love to do ourselves. The buggers!

I'm very concerned about admission of older people admitted to hospital will also go up because there probably isn't much more room now so people won't be admitted at all.

That's a sad reality.

When will these appalling stupid people realise that...
The virus doesn't move, PEOPLE move

I totally agree with others,about the flights- i understand people would 'rather be home' but it serves them right for going then! They should be prepared to stay where they are for the duration then! Its madness bringing them back here from where its rife to risk the uk people who are being told to 'stay in' then returning the others home- its like we are 'sitting ducks'- a guy on a deals chat website said he returned home from abroad and there were NO airport checks/tests at all for the the coronavirus at airports and he just had to self isolate 14 days,now hes allowed out amongst us under same rules we are,shopping,exercising work etc.its totally crazy they should at least have quarrantined& tested these people!

Is adhering to the rules yourself all that matters inishowen? It is wrong that the police are inundated, but not necessarily because people are ringing them. Should we completely "^stop looking^" at what our neighbours do? Who is in the wrong here? Surely it is not the people who ring the police but the neighbours who ignore the rules and put us all in danger, including your son. I haven't, myself, called the police with regard to my neighbour's activities but am tempted because they are endangering themselves and others.

Yes you have to think you are doing the right thing in obeying the rules and if others are not that is their responsibility. I have a young couple living next door. They have a roomy house, a garden, each other and a toddler but they have friends with a baby round every day to sit in the garden, have lunch and play. They cannot give up seeing their friends. I have not seen any friends for a month and of course I’d like to see them as well as other family members but I don’t. Some people think the rules only apply to others. I won’t ‘inform’ on my neighbours. They are on private property and what they are doing is not criminal, not in a public place and not directly dangerous to me or my household. It is their responsibility if they choose to flout the rules.

It's painful not being able to spend time with family this Easter. I miss it too but my family don't want to risk getting the virus and they don't want us to get it either so we are talking on the phone and had a zoom gathering yesterday. I know we're not going to get the virus if we stay at home and don't mix with others. Simple as that.

My daughter missed her sons’ 13th birthday Easter Sunday because shes in ‘shielded’ she had thought of going over and sitting in garden while they were in house, but at the last moment she came to her senses and stayed home ....after but did drop his presents of at their dads house on the doorstep...and got a wave from both kids through window, and of course a FaceTime message. It will be another 2 months before she can touch her two children ...I know she’s miserable but I can’t give her a hug even. We’re all being sensible ! Your neighbours are a disgrace ...be proud of yourself , you’re doing the right thing.

I was about to say silly people because stupid sounded a bit nasty but stupid is the right word for them. 2 of my grandchildren have had birthdays since this started had to wish them happy birthday via FaceTime. Another one who lives in the same town has used his permitted exercise time to cut my grass one day and a little bit of weeding another day but I’ve kept indoors while that was happening and while it’s lovely to see them albeit from inside looking out. I wouldn’t put them or me at risk

I am one of the many who doesn't see their grandchildren often anyway, they live too far away. We have always Skyped once a week. We follow lockdown to the letter - I'm not daft enough to risk my family's or my own health. I know several NHS workers and it makes me exceedingly angry to see how idiots don't follow the rules. Lockdown is no fun, but far preferable to being on a ventilator or dead. Or infecting your loved ones. We will get through this. But it's unfortunately going to take some time. So thankful for the internet.

Don't feel envious.
Those visitors are stupid beyond belief.

Inishowen- if NO ONE REPORTS these people& police dont 'sort them out' how are we ever going to stop folk taking the p**s???

Yeah our neighbours had been out in garden saturday & at first i thought was just them& their kids,but i heard at least one other guys voice so clearly had someone else round as well!(i think they've relatives round corner or something) and sunday i saw nor heard them so maybe theyd gone to other rellies? I wish folk could see it effects them too- why do so many seem to think it doesnt matter if 'just' they dont conform? Cant they see this will last longer unless they all comply? I hope now Boris is on the mend he will force the strict rules of china& italy and slap huge £600 fines on rule breakers too!

I would have reported them to the Police! Ignorant b*******!

3nanny6 dont get too disheartened as they should not be there. I have 4 grandsons which I have not hugged for over 6 weeks because of this virus, they all live within an hours walk. I ordered Easter eggs online so I would not see them. My youngest grandson thinks I live in the phone with our fish Rambo. We phone every day with numerous WhatsApp video messages and yes they get to say hello to Rambo. We are being asked to self isolate for a reason and it is to SAVE lives. I have friends who work in NHS and yes some have become ill through having little PPE and nursing others, they go into work daily to ensure those of us that become ill have some one to care for us. Your neighbours are so wrong in doing what they are doing, because they are adding pressure to staff that are already stressed and fully aware that they, whilst performing their jobs, are putting their lives on the line. Stay safe and I'm sorry for the strong words. Xxxxx

My son is a call handler for the police and they are inundated with calls about neighbours. Please stop looking at what they do. As long as you adhere to the rules that's what matters.

Whilst I would love to see my children and DGCs I know I couldn’t cope with their becoming unwell (or worse) possibly through my stupidity. It is very tough at the moment - but try to think of the long term, you are doing the right thing for them and society

Of course it's fine if someone drops something off on the doorstep, retreats to an appropriate distance and then stops and speaks ( more likely shouts) to you from that distance. Volunteer shoppers are doing it, as are delivery persons. That is clearly permitted. It is when people not living in the same household visit or go out together ? it is not. That is where problems are being stored up. How can the curve of this virus be flattened and eventually decline when some people are flouting rules that are there to keep themselves safe, never mind the rest of society.

As long as no- one is driving to your house, a visit on foot as part of your daily exercise to say hello from 2m away, is absolutely fine. It’s when a non essential car journey is involved that it is not fine.
