There appear to be three groups of people in this country today. Those who follow the guidelines rigidly, who might appear paranoid about Covid 19 but want to remain healthy and safe. There is another group who know the guidelines and follow them most of the time but bend the rules slightly to suit themselves - they might allow more people to visit them, sit indoors with them if it rains, have a sneaky hug, have more than one household in their bubble etc. I see a number of posts here from such people. Then the final group ignore all the guidelines, are not bothered about catching Covid 19 or even deny that it is serious and go about their lives regardless, potentially spreading the virus as they go.
I'm not passing judgement on any group, each to their own but I am concerned about how the virus can be contained with some of these actions. In the meantime, I am now living in the Greater Manchester area with the new lockdown.
Personally I hover between groups 1 and 2, I try not to be paranoid and obsessive but I follow all the guidelines, not even allowing both my adult children to visit me at the same time in my house but I am trying to get some normality into my life again with garden visits and very rare shopping trips.
