Which one are you?

Accepter. But hate being lumped in with unrecorded and conservatives

I am even older than 75, a brexiteer and voted Conservative and would class myself as an accepter .

Sufferer

I am an accepter but its nothing to do with age or politics but all to do with my health. I know I would not survive if I caught the virus and have been at home all the time since mid February other that hospital visits for treatment. Our state of emergency ends tonight but most things wont change and things are being relaxed very slowly little by little. Still not made it clear whether families can now meet up though.

Accepter but I don't have the concerns younger people have about children,jobs and finances. It's easier for my age group to be accepting I think.

Accepter. But then it's easy to be an Accepter when you're in your 70's and somewhat reclusive anyway. I feel for the younger generation. I would probably have been torn between being a Sufferer and a Resister in my youth.

Acceptor ( but not conservative or Brexiteer) but I am an introvert happy to do my own thing at home. However I miss my grandchildren so much and resent having to be away from them after seeing them every week since the day they were born. Also miss having coffee with my best friend.
I may turn rebellious though if it goes on for too long and over 70s are expected to stay at home when others aren’t.

Accepter along with my elderly parents who hope one day to see their family. At the moment thank goodness for Facetime x

Accepter

Accepter- it is necessary For the record not older or rightwing

Definitely Acceptor.Haven't read up on Resistor traits but judging by behaviour of some there should be a Rebel .DDs both finally had enough this weekend and both spoke to neighbours nearby. 3rd weekend in a row one lot had a bbq and gathering and lots of noise and drinking. Other household had loads of family over last weekend and yesterday 2 vans turned up with mates to collect their son with all their bikes and off they popped.Both are key workers.One ICU and its soul destroying to know some people think a)they're a special case and b)don't care and can't for what is essentially a few weeks do what most of us are doing and limit as much as possible the spread of this virus.

Definitely an accepter

I started as an accepter but am changing into a sufferer.

This 'research' may be a bit of fun, but is absolutely meaningless.
Clearly many of us who are 'acceptors' as evidenced on here are not Tory voters.
It was based on a sample of 2,250 people. ? Age demographic.
Far too broad.
Good job it wasn't medical research, would have been discarded at the first hurdle.

I'm an acceptor. The premise of the lockdown made sense to me right from the start. I didn't make any preparations, it seemed to me that we would obviously be allowed out to shop. The stockpiling thing was ludicrous - before rationing I saw an enormous woman and her two enormous children piling all the eggs in our local small supermarket into her basket. Unless she was going to 'candle' them them they would be well stale by the time she got to eat them! A little research would have assured her there was only going to be a shortage of a particular few things.

Yes green-eyedgirl meaningless. I refuse to be identified in any category I do not fit in.

Agree with Washerwoman. I am an Accepter. I live in a UK holiday area (having made a living in later life looking after holidaymakers). I appreciate that in many ways this makes me very fortunate - but one huge downside is that we have only one hospital in the whole county with only a handful of critical care beds.

It has made key workers in this hospital and in local care homes very angry to see second home owners and/or members of their families ignoring government instructions and flocking in. One lone surfer who decided to take the opportunity to have an extra holiday got into major difficulties and tied up some of our very limited resources needed to help local Covid sufferers.

Two others (young, healthy, active) have caused real resentment by tying up online local supermarket deliveries during their stay which are badly needed by our old and vulnerable local people. some of whom have found it very hard to access these. And there is fear that strangers from urban areas where the virus has been more prevalent can be carriers without knowing it.Some people, it appears, have no consideration for anyone but themselves.

Accepter: and still upbeat and loving the peace and quiet, shopping is so much more pleasant now.

Accepter but hating it. Not a sufferer as probably defined but definitely getting tetchy with each other in our household, dread how difficult shopping is and hating the loss of freedom. Didn't suffer from depression before but now having bad days.

Accepter and living with an accepter, which makes it easier!

Well, I have moved back and forth between the three categories... currently I am beginning to feel duped and lied to... I guess because I am in the fortunate position of not having been directly affected by the illness and live in a low risk area it’s becoming more and more abstract. It has become so political that honestly I no longer know what to believe about the virus...

Accepter with a swirl of resistance

Accepter. I do like a wee rule to follow.

Accepter.... the Government are setting the guidelines to help a d protect us ......

Liz1965.This isn't a criticism
Everyone has a different experience
Some see little evidence of those not observing lockdown therefore think everyone is fully on board. So whilst I understand fully it may seem abstract it feels very real here.I myself and two immediate family members are recovering from the virus. We had no contact as different cities
And DD nurses those desperately ill and dying of CV.So it feels all too real sadly.
Cassandra I can only begin to understand your frustration. When I have seen on the news the idiots who insist on travelling great distances for a day out in our county national park I've been exasperated to say the least .
