Will you go out when lockdown is eased?

[fourpeasinapod]

so say when coffee shops and restaurants are allowed to reopen, will you be going? I can’t see myself being comfortable going out to eat for quite some time

No, I'll only be going to visit my parents and going on longer walks/picnics. I want DC and grandparents to be able to see each other over the summer (and then we won't visit any more once school starts in September).

I wonder how many people commenting on this thread will die from it. Because the likelihood is...some will

How have you figured that out?!

Anyway... people die. In fact, everyone does! From all sorts of things, all the time.
My brother died in a car accident in his 20’s. I still drive my car. As a 35 year old healthy female, I’m pretty sure my chances of dying in a car accident are similar to my chances of dying from Covid.
We all take risks every single day. We don’t stop living our lives despite all the multiple ways we could die every single day. I won’t stop living my life for this either.

Statistically, none of us on this thread will die

Probably not. The minute its lifted shops are going to be rammed and motorways gridlocked, which does not sound a fun way to get out of the house.

I might consider things that involve still maintaining some kind of social distancing.

I'd love a holiday, I want to walk along an empty beach. I'd even consider camping, which shows how desperate I am!

I'm more concerned about how schools are going to managed a staged return. CV isn't going to just disappear.

If you cannot live in a way that makes you happy life has diminished value anyway!

As a nation we are scared to let people die. People are kept alive to please the younger generation who don’t see that life without meaning is just a meaningless existence. My family know my feelings and I really do not intend to hang around should I get dementia or similar if I can find a way out. If it’s Covid, so be it.

Good grief
You need to get yourself at a maths evening class pronto! And I’m desperately hoping you aren’t home schooling any children!

Or indeed will be related to anyone who will die
Or indeed be friends with anyone that will die
Or indeed know anyone that will die

Yes. I genuinely need clothes for my children and it I’m shopping that will involve a coffee.

All I really want to be able to do is go and see my mum, and seeing as she is in the grip of terror to the point that she won't go past her garden and has a fit if a parcel is delivered and not doused immediately in antibac spray and believes that if she catches it she will die, I doubt that is going to happen unless and until there is a vaccine.

I don't miss restaurants, pubs and cafes much. I miss being able to take the dc swimming, to the library and so on. As soon as we are able to do those things, I will. I think my experience of this as someone who has been out to work throughout the whole thing is different from those who have remained inside, tbh.

Not right away. I'll go to 'non essential' shops and visit friends and family at home (or invite them to ours) but I won't rush to crowded pubs/cafes/restaurants.

All those who say they've had it so are of no danger to anyone - its entirely plausible that you could get it again and that you can transmit the virus still.

"I don't want to be a link in the chain of transmission that causes someone's death."

No, me neither. The "as a healthy 29 year old" brigade are so selfish. Literally not a thought for anyone else

Yes, as soon as places are allowed (and so it is safe) to open I will go there, I miss pubs, restaurants and gyms so will be straight back.

I never stopped getting takeaways and takeaway coffees, will start going out doing other things, using sensible precautions and common sense, as soon as other things start to re-open.

Nope

Its going to be lifted to early, and i think a 2nd wave will hit and it will be bigger than the first. Like the spanish flu.

@Sodamncold
You sure about that????

I know 7 people who have had it.
Including 3 children.

One of my partners family members have died with it
His friend died with it

My family member died with it.

crustycrab people are talking about when restrictions are lifted. Not now. When they are lifted, it will be because numbers are much lower and there will be track and trace methods in place. If you don’t intend on going out when restrictions are lifted, when will you go out?

I've begged my hairdresser to tell me the very second she is allowed to work again, and I'll be first in line

Same here and my nail technician, in fact I’m paying the latter every three weeks quite specifically so she’ll put me at the top of the queue.

Yes ! This isn't a life!

@JustStayHome

Do you understand the word “statistically”

Cautiously yes

Yes, of course.

Yes. I’m looking forward to it.

I had a suspected case too early to get tested but I'm hoping I can get an antibody test when they become available for key workers. If I've had it then I'll go out, if not I'll be more careful.

@JustStayHome ‘statistically’ means something different to ‘anecdotally’.

It seems like a significant number of people will never be leaving their homes again! Until they die of old age / lack of vitamin D that is.

How sad to be that paranoid.
