To think that affairs might be the collateral damage of social distancing?

[forrasee]

I am not making light of coronovirus and haven't put this in the topic as it's not really about the virus as such.

But it struck me today - there are normally several running threads on mumsnet at anyone time by OPs who have discovered their partners are cheating due to certain signs. At the moment there aren't as many as people have other things to worry about.

Do you think if people can't get out to meet their affair partners that the affairs might die off and go unnoticed? Or, will the messaging will pick up and more will come to light in the tension of living in such close quarters?

YANBU - Affairs will die off if the thrill of physical contact is gone
YABU - People will crack on even when isolating

I was wondering about people addicted to drugs. How they will cope if they can’t get money from begging or theft because people are staying at home.

Drug dealers should be the standard by which all governments are managed. They manage to operate on a 24/7 basis. Are rarely out of stock. Are responsive to their customers needs and make a point of knowing their customer. If Boris was really serious about wanting to get 50,000 more ventilators, rather than spunking money on Rolls Royce and Vauxhall, he should have asked Big Barry down the road.

Sorted.
