To want to report my own family

Their not sticking to the lock down rules and it’s extremely annoying me. They live a few doors down and have had relatives over but have said they are only in the garden and are sitting apart, also children have been running around.
I’m pregnant and self isolating and won’t go near them. I think they are being incredibly fucking selfish.

So how about a suggestion.

Often on here when talking about organ donation people state that if someone isn’t prepared to donate their organs they shouldn’t be entitled to a transplant should they need one.

So how about if people do not observe the lockdown rules and catch Coronavirus they shouldn’t be entitled to treatment thus saving it for someone who has observed the rules?

I’m not advocating for that btw any more than I agree with the statement re organ donation. But how is it that so many can argue that people shouldn’t be allowed treatment in one respect but make it about something they are probably doing and suddenly people need to mind their own business?

People who actively flout the rules piss me off. I wouldn’t report them but neither would I have them anywhere near me for a long time.

I have a family member who is insistent that this is all a fuss over nothing and keeps going out. Even though she never used to go out before all of this.

Another family member had made something for her but said that he couldn’t bring it round until after lockdown had finished so she drove over to his house. Hmm and seemed surprised that he wouldn’t let her in.

As I said I wouldn’t report them. But if it happened that the police challenged them and fined them accordingly I would be delighted.

Yeh, shop your own family because you are jealous. Sad
Look, they aren't harming you, how do you know any have been in contact with others.
I've seen my family because none of us have had contact with the outside. When we have then we'll stop.
There's talk of people going back to work on some threads, like Spain are doing, so not long now.

@LesLavandes - sorry to disappoint you but you are not saving lives by reporting anyone.

How 1984 of you! Grin

So many curtain twitchers on here ... I visit my very elderly parents, keep a safe distance from them (in the garden), they are vulnerable, need support and a friendly face.

Just focus on yourself ... presumably you aren’t coming into contact with them so why does it bother you so much?
