No, early 40s. Not had takeaways during this. The number of times I have glasses with lipstick on, hairs in food, someone's scarf dipping in my soup. Usually I'm not flaky about it, but now it makes me wonder what hygiene fails go on in the kitchen.

bakingdemon · 18/05/2020 21:36

Yes, mid 30s. Long not to have to do the washing up.

KenDodd · 18/05/2020 21:36

Yes, straight away. But then probably not for a while. I'd want to get in quick before the virus started taking off again.
I'm 50

TeaAndBisquits · 18/05/2020 21:38

Yes, mid thirties.

@Bbq1

I'm diabetic, have high blood pressure, obese & my body reacts badly to any medication so I'm high risk.

On top of that, there aren't any amazing Restaurants around here that I miss. If I was back in NZ I'd be back at my favourite Thai Place the minute they unlocked the doors.

Also I control my diabetes by eating low carb. Low carb vegetarian it's no longer much fun eating out 😢

SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito · 18/05/2020 21:41

Yes, as soon as possible. Mid 30s. Can't bloody wait.

shiningstar2 · 18/05/2020 21:41

Bloodybridget · 18/05/2020 21:41

taraRoo · 18/05/2020 21:44

Yes 37

For those scoffing that me and DH aren't yet going to restaurants in NZ. We've taken our own risk assessment on this based on the fact that we live in an area with specific characteristics that should be there be even one case it would spread through the community like wildfire.

DH is also a key worker and is exposed to lots of people on a daily basis. He's been really careful but he's also worried about spending long periods of time in crowded restaurants where he could be the source of transmission. We haven't even yet met up with friends who have infants or older family members because we want to wait a few weeks and really ensure there is no community transmission. We feel keeping our bubble tight for the foreseeable is the right thing to do, no matter how much we miss our favourite places. Many others are doing the same thing based on their own risk assessment and it just feels sensible rather than rushing out because we 'can'.

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 19/05/2020 00:26

Yes - mid 40’s

Not particularly fearful about catching it

ittooshallpass · 19/05/2020 00:30

No. Early 50s.

5lilducks · 19/05/2020 00:36

No.. and not for a long time after. I'm early 40's

MusicianTom · 19/05/2020 00:36

Yes, definitely. I'm mid 40s. For disclosure, I don't have DCs, and my elderly patents live 250 miles away, so I'm probably less worried about the risk than those with children

Sonichu · 19/05/2020 00:40

Nearly 35 and absolutely. I'll be going to pubs as well.

Crunched · 19/05/2020 00:49

Aclh13 · 19/05/2020 01:30

Yes but just won't sit to close to everyone and will bring hand sanatizer with me. I will probably go to a restaurant end of July August as I think they will open next month. I'm 21.

fallfallfall · 19/05/2020 02:01

EskSmith · 19/05/2020 02:38

No, not expecting to eat out again this year. However not sure the hospitality industry will notice as ore lockdown I ate out less than once a month anyway.
