To wonder why people still don't get it?!

Earlier, I was in the garden and I heard my neighbour saying to someone that she doesn't think the covid test will be positive as she thinks it's a cold but her sons being tested anyway.

Anyway, I was just putting something in the bin which is out of the gate, and when I was walking back to my house I saw her son go to bin some rubbish, I thought it was odd as why send him if he's got symptoms, he then proceeded to cough all over the bins including mine.

I'm a bit as surely someone who doesn't have symptoms could've gone as threw the rubbish away. Aibu to wonder how people STILL don't get it?

Same !

I'll be a bit kinder than some posters as I think your son's health issues are clouding your judgement here.

But really, no one is catching COVID from a bin. They're really not.

Wash your hands when you come inside from anywhere and you'll be reet

Well, apologises if I'm being ‘hysterical’ but I'm worried about DS, especially as we were shielding all throughout lockdowns.

I was being serious re GP not trying to be rude. Both my kids are vulnerable and have multiple disabilities so it's not that I don't understand. But your reaction is WAY OTT.

Or if you're that worried move your bin?

Be fine as long as you wash your hands. I’m not sure the virus would last long in the open air on a bin in any event.

Isolating means not going out of your property (ie house/garden/drive), it doesn't mean you can't go outside to put the bin out!

And even if someone did cough or sneeze over your bin, how are you going to catch it from it? If it's raining as much as it is here it will wash anything away and in any event now you've overheard the conversation you will make sure your wash your hands thoroughly won't you? And obvs don't lick either your own bin or theirs.

Coughing over your bins?!? I'd dial 999, OP.

Honestly! 😂

No, I haven't been to the GP.

Crikey, it isn’t March 2020 anymore. I can’t believe people are still this paranoid

I can't believe they were this paranoid then, either.

What do you want them to do with their rubbish if they can't put it out? Fly tip it over the fence?

Wish people would stop testing healthy symptomless people as we certainly in a casedemic now and two stop being hysterical

Surely if you are being extra cautious you are washing your hands when you come back in the home home anyway

I have always wash my hand when I have touched the bin

Honestly you people that come on the thread three pages I after just trading the initial post! This is a woman with health anxieties, other posters have been helping here deal with them. There is absolutely no pint I just coming on after 64 posts and just leaving a nasty, pointless remark.
