I slipped up

I have to take a deep breath to calm myself when I hear about people who think it's OK for them to ignore the social distancing rules - for whatever reason. I've just seen a post on FB from a friend who put up a photo of herself, her husband, son, daughter in law and three grandchildren all hugging and cuddling each other. Yes, they were only two households and they were outside but they were not 2 cm apart let along 2 m!

The country will never reduce the infection rate if everyone behaved in such a selfish way, it's just prolonging the recovery and ruining our economy.

The guidelines are VERY clear! Acquaint yourself with them.
To knowingly disregard them and think it’s funny is anything but and extremely selfish.

Pink quartz you poor thing, I hope you recover soon.

It's deeply frustrating for those of us who are shielding and haven't seen, let alone hugged, our loved ones for many months FlyingHandbag. Not good.

I caught Covid when I hadn't been out for many weeks and I only saw one person who also had not visited anyone and was being careful
Both of us have been very ill.
If someone has it you won't know and it really does transfer very easily

How on earth can I have Corona if I've only seen people socially distanced and I've only been out thrice since the start of lockdown?x

You don't know if you have Covid, you could be asymptomatic!.
To actually think it is amusing and come on here to brag about it into the bargain, when there are so many people who are shielding or have partners who are, is unacceptable.

Almost all the patients my son cares for on the Covid ward think they gave been careful.

Most of them just 'slipped' up. ?

Hugging is NOT important between adults.

FlyingHandbag Fri 10-Jul-20 23:20:45

Neither of us have corona as we have both been very very very careful. X

Neither am I, have been stuck at home since February with only an emergency Drs appointment last Sunday.
You might not care what happens to you but it is not fair to the people you infect.

I'm not pleased either! ?
People disregarding the rules are the reason why people like me have been shielding for four months and patients are still dying from Covid.

The virus is still there!
