AIBU - CV19 is over according to my OH

Tell him he should prepare to move in with the motorbike. Forgive the joke - however, you could joke with him like this to make him see that his idea is pretty much a joke too but a very bad one. Stand your ground with regard to quarantine when the friend has left if it goes ahead.

i wish it was so easy to go out and rent a flat!! I would have gone ages ago !!

Really cannot understand the people who think all danger of infection is over. My DH usually has a drink a few times a week with three friends. So far he's told them he's not ready to join them yet but one of them seems to be taking it as a bit of an insult. This morning I heard him actually apologising on the phone for not wanting to come!

Totally agree with everything you have said to your OH
keep strong, this virus is no joke

Unfortunately there is no cure for stupidity!,,,

I had a telephone appointment recently with the chest specialist I normally see at the hospital. I have been shielding, and he told me to continue to take all possible precautions as the virus has NOT gone away.

Here in Arizona the Governor opened the state up too soon. Our ICQs are full. Younger people are dying. They went to bars and restaurants because our Governor listened to the Orange Idiot in Whitehouse and said it was ok to come out ane play.

Can you not explain to him that the only reason the lockdowns are easing is because OVERALL cases are lessening in certain areas, and that the NHS now (at the moment, unless a 2nd wave arises) has the capacity to COPE with all the NEW cases that WILL arise - COVID 19 is NOT over - it's just that now the hospitals can cope those of us who go out and get it are more likely to be seen in hospital - and quite frankly I'd (YOU'D) rather not be one of those cases!
I'm staying put for a long while yet.

Lock your doors so him and his friend cant get in the house.motor rally .well hes a stupid man.its not over people are still dying.

Flakesdayout did update us to say that he's not going to France now. Still, working on the bike in the garage is taking a risk for something that's really not necessary at this time.

It demonstrates just how much (or little) love and respect is shown for another when their wish to stay safe is ignored. I'd be most upset about it. (Does he love that bike more than you?)

I keep hearing the same old excuses:

'Meet up now before the second wave' (of course, there will certainly be one, if you do).

'We have to go shopping' (no, you can get everything delivered, I do).

'Socialise to protect your mental health' (really? - then lie awake at night wondering if you've caught it).

(and, worst of all)

'I socialise, go shopping - and look after an elderly relative'
(you call that 'looking after'?)

This is nowhere near over! Where I live, we have been very lucky to have had very few cases/deaths compared to many other places. We had 3 straight weeks of no infections at all. Fantastic! Then, the government eased up on restrictions ... stupid people became complacent, and now, guess what? ... We're in the midst of our THIRD wave, which seems to be spreading faster than before!

Restrictions have again been put in place, which they will review, and if the infection rate shows no signs of slowing, they may impose a lockdown. Frankly, I hope they do! Too many stupid people around who can't be trusted, and who put the rest of us at risk!

Seeing what is going on 'back home' in the UK, and other places with outrageously high rates of infection/deaths, I can't believe that people can be so stupid and irresponsible.

If this 3rd wave has happened here, even though the majority of people have followed the rules, and not waited to be told what to do by the government, God help you lot over there! I worry for my family in the UK.

You are not being pedantic. I'm in your situation too immune wise. There is no way my husband would risk my health by doing what yours is. Lay it on line to.him

this is so sad ,but my question is ,when ,and if he gets the virus through his own stupidity ? ,will he ask you to care for him ? ,,has he thought this through properly ,i think not ,,also who prepares their food ? not you i hope

Sorry, I’ve only had time to read the first page so far, someone might have already said this.
It seems to be a characteristic of men as the get older. Well British men anyway. They seem to think they are invincible. We have been without telephone and internet since late Saturday night but engineer arrived this morning, thank goodness. DH suddenly returned to the bed room to put a mask on. Of course the younger, male,Portuguese engineer was already wearing his.
