Husband and I have felt a bit underwhelmed this weekend.
We’ve obeyed the rules from the beginning, we’ve tried to keep abreast with what we can and can’t do.
We’ve not seen our son, we’ve not seen family, we’ve not had parties.
We’ve felt that until a vaccine is found that everyone has a responsibility to themselves, and just as importantly, to other people, to keep safe and nip this thing in the bud.
There was a sense in the beginning that we were all in it together.
We’ve now realised that there is a huge number of people that don’t actually care, my own village included.
It’s now looking likely that my age group might have to go into another lockdown, due to the selfishness of those that couldn’t give a tinkers toss.
I’m just feeling really annoyed.
Same here !
Stuck to the rules , only saw our son after months when we were allowed to in our little bubble. Even now we haven't seen him for weeks since he's been back to work after being furloughed and mixing with lots of people at work. He's being responsible and keeping away from us . He's having a weeks holiday before he comes for hubbys birthday and staying away from people during that time , as he's so worried we will be really ill if we get it.
Had weekly home deliveries from the local butchers and farm which cost a fortune but we wanted to stay safe.
Hubbys working from home so we've had to be with each other 24/7 but still didn't go out except for our allowed time exercising. Even then we decided not to go walking as we usually do every evening when he finishes work as there were now too many people walking , jogging and cycling around the estate to do so safely (quite a few seemed not to have heard of social distancing)
I've been driving for Tesco click & collect 6am slots since being able to get them lately, and only started venturing out for items not available on that to the Co-op these last couple of weeks when we absolutely needed to .
Went to the local pub these past few days for a meal as it seemed safe-ish as almost deserted inside . ( but worryingly far too many idiots crowding in the outside part the other night though! )
Been most annoying though that most people around here seem to have carried on a normal as though the lockdown rules didn't and still don't apply to them.
Just feel like if Boris
does say that the over 50's have to shield , and being 64 I'm bound to come into the range even if it's raised to 60+ , and include additional medical conditions which I might possibly then come under, then all that being good has been a waste of time. And going into sheilding/isolating to obey any new rulings is just going to be a complete waste of time ,as unless others start sticking strictly to the rules (which they won't) then feel this thing is going to go on forever.
