Which one are you?

Ps - AcceptEr!

Accepter, No point in complaining and we need to make the best of things.

Annecan - not sure where you got the Brexit info from?

I've now read the article in the Independent, the actual Ipsos Mori poll data and a study by Kings and none of them mention Brexit.

Please can you send the link as obviously you've read it somewhere.

Accepter: my husband has been isolating since December because of a 2nd transplant planned for early March. It's been postponed because he is doing well on the medication. BUT we are so used to living with the danger of an ordinary cold/cough leading to pneumonia/sepsis and death with his condition that isolation is our norm since 2015.

He misses his daily walks (well I miss HIS daily walks ????)

The worst time for me is on once a week steroid day....??

Iam an accepter too. Miss my social groups and family but, thankful to be alive, that it's happened at this time of year when walking and gardening are more enjoyable due to nicer weather.

Accepter BUT anti Brexit, Labour voter too. Also in my 50’s so don’t consider myself to be in the older range

Accepter - just grin and bear it!

NotSpaghetti - that’s interesting, thanks for highlighting that and hopefully Annecan can shed a bit more light on the demographics.

Accepter

(Still, despite seeing photographs today of young men, as stupid as they are handsome, parading along Broadway Market clutching pints of beer and mingling with crowds of other equally stupid, mainly male people.)

Apart from being over 70 I do not fit Acceptor image. I am a socialist, remainer, however I don’t want to die a potentially horrible death as some do with Covid19. Therefore I’m an acceptor and will do whatever it takes to keep my family and me safe.

Accepter.

Mmm- probably a bit of a resister. TBH I am able to go out & about as under 70 (just) but I am sooooo bored.
I am happy to shop for neighbours as it gives me an excuse to go out more often.
Luckily our road is a cul de sac & very friendly & we are getting together for various events keeping the required 6' apart. It is difficult for the children who cannot understand why they cannot run up & down with the friends.
Most of our family birthdays are in May & it will be hard not to see DGC & DS on their special days.
Thank heavens the weather has been so good= well so far anyway.

Nanna58- I’m with you. We accept and follow the rules but inside we are as you said, rampant resistors.
Working from home means we have income, so we are lucky, but it’s not the same as meeting up in work, going for a coffee, seeing the children and grandchildren.
We stay home to stop the spread. I wipe down the shopping and spray the bags. I change and wash my clothes after a shop. We wash our hands and wipe door handles bins and the letter box.
It makes sense so we do it, but nobody pretends it means we won’t get COVID-19.
If the virus is active on card, metal, plastic, etc. it will get you somehow.

Accepter but resent the way everything has been handled by government. Too little, too late. Still open borders bringing in possibly infectious people.

Definitely an acceptor.

An accepter, and at times quite enjoying the lockdown. But when I read that over 70s (even perfectly fit ones) might be confined to barracks for up to another year, I feel my inner resister coming to the fore. OK so it's to save our lives but it wouldn't be what anyone would call 'living'. If you feel you have, say another good 10 years in you at 70, to be told that you are out of any meaningful circulation for 10% of the rest of your life, it's pretty hard.
(Am neither Brexit not Conservative, thank you!)

Accepter and definitely not a Conservative voter. I miss my family like everyone here, but you do what needs to be done.

Acceptor but I didn’t vote for Brexit...I am a remainder.
These categories are too vague.

Remainer even!

I’m an acceptor. It’s slightly better for us as DD lives with us and organises the supermarket deliveries ie stays up till 2.00am to get a slot and has a friend who lets us share their Ocado delivery (I make them bread). The hard part will be when they start to ease the lockdown as my DH is on the vulnerable list, has had many chest infections and definitely wouldn’t survive the virus. So even if things relax, I will have to stay in in order to protect him.

Not clear of purpose of Spectator piece - we have no choice but to accept it. I read this morning that only 1 in 5 people want it to end soon, which surprises me.

Accepter, with a little bit of Resistor thrown in to keep me sane,

Certainly not a Conservative or Leaver , and probably deep down a resistor but having been an NHS worker , I want to do all I can to help them . However at 70 and very active if I am told I need to stay at home for many months more , I think my resistor persona will come to the fore.

Acceptor. Doesn't bother me too much as I'm already a loner by nature. But I am longing to go for a long trip in my car, - alone.

I'm a bit confused by the 'we are all in this together' message. We aren't - we are all in this, but apart!
