Social distancing and groups of people

[Feellikedancingyeah]

Been for a walk today. Passed local school sports field. Not fenced off and it's a right of way. Groups of people on the field having picnics and games. 10 or more in a few of the group's. Am I missing something?

[Catastrofuck]

Sounds like they were having fun

[Ghostlyglow]

Well you're missing out.

[AskingforaBaskin]

Meh. We have a similar field. Group of teens playing skins v shirts rugby, another group playing football and then smaller clusters of people chilling out. And this is Wales so further behind then elsewhere. I think people are done now.

You’re not missing anything. People are selfish, always have been.

[Feellikedancingyeah]

heartsonacake exactly !

[Jingstohang]

What are the current guidelines? I'm shielding so have no idea anymore!

[bigchris]

It's supposed to only be 6 people all 2 metres apart but after the BLM protests and photos of people on the beach , and shops opening i don't think anyone much cares, there's been no second wave

[Samcro]

I imagine people see on the nees, packed beaches, protests and shops open, and think fuck it.
Hopefully it won't lead to another peak.

[bigchris]

The thing is those of us who have been working all along ,closer than 2 metres, want to have fun outside of work, sorry if thats selfish !

How lovely

Teenagers shouldn't be locked up with their parents for weeks on end

It is selfish, and don’t lie; you’re not sorry.

You shouldn’t have been working closer than 2m and having been working all this time doesn’t allow you to break the guidelines on your own selfish whims.

You can “have fun outside of work” by observing government guidelines.

[Catastrofuck]

Yes, the selfishness of those who perceive no greater risk than coronavirus is well noted

[AskingforaBaskin]

@bigchris I have to be honest. I know it's wrong and they're breaking the rules. But after weeks and weeks of soulless walking and avoiding people it's like there's finally life back in the area.
I was sat with my kids well away but just looking around everyone was happy. The lads were laughing and excising. It was just really lovely.

[bigchris]

You shouldn’t have been working closer than 2m

Thanks for that

You do know there's thousands of jobs where it's impossible to keep 2 metres away from people don't you ?

[bigchris]

AskingforaBaskin i agree

[AskingforaBaskin]

You shouldn’t have been working closer than 2m

Can someone explain how two people can move a barrel two meters apart? 😂

[bigchris]

[user1900076522]

@AskingforaBaskin surely the point of furlough were for people who were in non essential roles to not go to work?

Why are you rolling barrels ? Are you draymen as no pubs are open and ours aren't delivering ?

[bigchris]

They are opening a week on Monday so people need to start getting ready now ! Plus plenty of places are selling takeaway beer which is allowed

[BlusteryLake]

Yawn... People who are at low risk are fed up of the massive sacrifices they have been making for the last three months in the name of saving other people's lives. This isn't exactly news is it? To be honest I think all the mass protests were the nail in the coffin of people feeling they need to observe the rules to the letter.

[AskingforaBaskin]

@user1900076522 I'm not.
But my husbands pub is opening soon and he's back in work full time. Him and his deputy have to empty the cellar and move 70 kegs to another part of the pub. So how do they do that 2m apart?
