Advice please - an I being a wimp

If 67 years on this planet have taught me anything at all, it’s to trust my own gut feelings.
I believe we have those feelings for a reason - we are constantly picking up information from all around us on both a conscious and a subliminal level, and those ‘gut feelings’ are based on our internal analysis of all that information. I think as we get older we get better at listening to and interpreting those analyses.
So, no, you’re not being a wimp at all. If you don’t feel safe, it’s almost certainly because you’ve identified that you’re NOT safe, so pack those bags and scarper!

That would be laughable if it wasn’t so snobbish.

We have just stayed in a top 5 star hotel were they was one way system sanitiser ready avaliable.Staff wearing mask.If you want piece of mind you have pay

Then write up on Trip Adviser

Demand your money back and leave.

Restaurants and pubs have to shut in Aberdeen from 5pm today, and people there are restricted in how far they can travel. It seems to have spread from a pub. I don't know who, in any UK country, thought that opening pubs was going to be a good idea. As soon as alcohol gets involved (and I am not TT and enjoy a drink as much as anyone ), common sense starts to disappear.

Let's hope that it acts as a warning to pubs that they HAVE to take contact details and ensure that distancing is taken seriously. Also, we need to dissuade people form moving from one pub to another to another.

BREAKING: Lockdown restrictions are being reimposed in Aberdeen due to a coronavirus cluster in the city

*MawB*. For you.
Our worst hotspot currently is 4.5 per 100,000.

I didn’t say where I live!

4allweknow, that is a shocking disregard for hygiene. What hospital was it?

No, you are NOT a wimp. You'd think they would be more on the ball especially as they all want the tourist trade in order to survive financially. Rules are different in Scotland but I know folk who run a B&B in Scotland and they are going over and above to comply because they are responsible people. If you are not happy, move. We are too accepting of poor service sometimes. Hope you have success.

Summerstorm That may be the rule in England but the OP is not in England.

I would not stay one night and I would expect a refund

If you are concerned for your health, leave. All the social distancing theatre is just that and lets face it it isn't always followed. Didn't think hospitality places were compelled to wear masks, only to keep social distancing though many places to have staff wearing them. Been to a hospital appointment today and the only person with a mask I saw in the place was the consultant in her room. Nursing staff wandering about no masks, admin staff no masks. If masks aren't obligatory in that environment can't see hotels being compelled to comply.

sparklingsilver28 I heard nothing from government or GP for 3 months despite having multiple risk factors. 3 weeks into lockdown we had no hope of getting a supermarket delivery until a family member got on the phone to Tesco a month in and got me put on their vulnerable list. In June I received a government letter telling me to shield for 12 weeks because of my asthma, actually the least of my worries: “ Do not go out, get a neighbour to put your bins out (!), get volunteers to shop for you.” Fast forward 2 weeks and I received a text telling that I must go out once a day to exercise. So far so good though I prefer to do my exercising in my garden, living as I do in a city where few people appear to be taking Covid seriously. Two weeks after that text I received two identical letters to say that my case had been reviewed and I am no longer required to shield.
Now I am to understand that no one needs to shield and family who have been shielding with me must return to work if required and in September to school, in the case of the latter with fines for non-compliance.
So I will continue taking the shillyshallying of the powers that be with a pinch of salt and rely on my own common sense to keep me safe. Road trips from hotel to hotel definitely not on my list of risks I am prepared to take.

Since the beginning of March 2020, aged 82, I have been isolating due to multiple health and mobility issues. During this period, there has been no direct communication from any government/health source to say I needed to shield or to ask whether I required help. My friend (87) at close-down had just completed breast-cancer treatment (chemo-therapy, mastectomy followed by radio-therapy) the same - nothing.
My daughter, aged 50, and her friend, patients of the same surgery as myself, received clear instruction to shield. Was this hit and miss approach an isolated instance of incompetence or deliberate indifference to the life and safety of the elderly. After viewing the Panorama Programme last week, I am being to suspect the latter – and that elderly lives DO NOT matter and have not mattered throughout this pandemic. Now when the next election arrives many of us will have long memories to guide us.

Chill out and enjoy . Something is going to kill you x??

I’m just wondering did you discuss this with other guests( socially distancing of course ) while you were there and if so what was their take on it?
I wouldn’t have felt safe there and would also have left.

I think with this pandemic it really comes down to looking out for yourself as you cannot trust others to do it for you. I certainly would not trust any venue whatever signs they placed around the place. Based on the situation as it exists at the moment the only indoor place I am prepared to visit is a supermarket to buy food and that's necessity rather than choice.

Report them! If they are complying no problem if not they'll be closed down until they do!
Why question it leave it to those who can and will find out. If in doubt 'flag it up' why wait and wish you had?

I think for future hotels you go to, you can ask to see their Covid safe certificate. If they don’t have one, that settles it...and if they do, you should be able to read what is involved.

I certainly wouldn’t stay. Why do they think they are exempt from social distancing and PPE? I would be inclined to make a report to the Tourist Board.

I'm a wimp too then as I would be gone. I've been out this morning (first time to a public place) to drop my car off for MOT. There were no masks to be seen although they did sanitise my car key. Then I went to a printers to pick up my partners sign. No mask worn in there and when I questioned the man he said it was not needed as it was an office! Does the virus choose where to go then?

I felt uncomfortable enough in these two places so how you must feel in that Hotel is beyond me. Do not feel bad for leaving and trust your instincts.

I am in Scotland and feel the risk is definately lower here. However regardless of any assurances from the manager I would have checked out too. It's your health that's at risk.

Mandatory face coverings
Retail
A face covering must be worn by all people in a shop, except where an exemption or ‘reasonable excuse,’ as defined in thelegislation, applies when the shop is open to the public.
A shop is any indoor establishment which offers goods or services for sale or hire. This includes anywhere that offer some goods for hire, for example if a library offers DVDs or CDs for hire.
This does not include hospitality premises such as cafes, coffee shops, restaurants or pubs. It also excludes money services businesses such as banks and building societies.
