AIBU to think that a street party is obnoxious?

[StonersPotPalace]

A lot of my neighbours have decided to stand in a circle, quite far away from their own houses. They're drinking, they've got loud music on, they're dancing away having a jolly old time.

AIBU to think this is ridiculous? Nevermind that it's a direct contravention of the lockdown rules, they don't know what other people in the street are dealing with - there could be bereavements or seriously ill relatives.

I get we're all fed up of lockdown, but this kind of shit is how you catch coronavirus from the supermarket trip, despite following all the other rules.

@SusieOwl4 that's very sad that someone you know has passed. I have every sympathy. This is going to be with us for months, maybe years and we can't live in bubbles. We need to take a sensible approach.

In a community FB group Someone posted a Video of one on the other side of town.
All I could think was thank God I don't live there.

I don’t really approve of street parties right now but that’s because I worry about social distancing. My family wouldn’t take part because my 4 year old is chomping at the bit to interact with other people (I often take her to soft play and find her installed after someone else’s table having a merry old chat !) and it would be cruel to test her limitations that way.

My condolences to anyone whose lost someone or waiting in that awful limbo of not knowing but that isn’t exclusive to this pandemic. When you’re going through the trauma of a loved one being seriously ill or dying the world outside your own personal bubble seems like such a juxtaposition to what you’re experiencing you feel incredulous at the audacity of the world. But life really does go on and you realise how often you’ve been on the other side just not knowing there was someone so close to you feeling the same pain.

It’s fine to be annoyed or even angry because it’s unfair that you’re picking up the pieces whilst others waltz about seemingly without a care in the world; that won’t be true though, everyone has their own battles and if they love anyone this experience is unavoidable. Let them enjoy the chances they have for happiness and when your ready enjoy the opportunities presented to you.
