This weekend will you be going to a pub or restaurant?

[ooooere]

I won't but a lot of people are saying they are and it's still open so they are going etc.

t I suggest you watch tonight's Ch4 news from Italy. It's horrific and frankly I'd rather my family members were jobless than dead.
Please don't assume I don't understand about the virus . I may be alive but I can't live off fresh air.

Nope. Our current life involves home, nursery and the supermarket.

At the weekend we'll be driving up into the moors for a walk.

Loads of cafes and pubs still open around here. All wanting people to still visit and support them. Lots of talk of separating tables, washing hands and asking people not to visit if they are feeling ill but other than that the shops and pubs are still quite busy. 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Meant to say it's not the big chains but the small independent ones I'm referring to.

No we won't. As od tomorrow when the schools close we will only visit the supermarket (unless a rare delivery slot comes up).

I think the government needs to close things down. Small businesses in my area are promoting that they are open and people understandably want to support them but it's not worth the risk. Many restaurants in my village now offer home delivery but to me there is still a degree of risk there.

Definitely not. A lot of pubs seem to have closed her anyway.

This is the advice and I'm sticking to it. I've got an essential medical appointment and after that I'm home.

While it's admirable that people want to support independent local businesses, do they not also want to support the NHS and NHS staff? The best way to do that would be to stay at home to avoid the NHS being overwhelmed in 2 or 3 weeks time in the way that the Italian healthcare services were.

Also, it's not just about your own risk, Iceland who have tested more people as a percentage of their population than any other country, found that 50% of people who tested positive had no symptoms at all. So you could be infectious, but not know you have it and pass it on to others.

No. It's irresponsible.

Obviously, I don't want to get sick myself, but I also don't want to put pressure on an already stretched NHS.

'Im a SAHM so we rely on his wage. So those 'selfish stupid morons' as called on here are keeping food on the table so my son won't starve. We have no savings or family who could help financially, so please think about that as well before judging everyone.

Similarly I have two nail and eyebrow appointments booked, one Thursday 26th March, the second Thursday 9th April. I understand it may be that I can't go if we are on lockdown by then, but if we are not and I'm able to then I WILL be going'

Fucking hell

I had booked for me and my family to go out. The pub phoned me to see if I was still going. They've had a few cancellations and feel that will provide enough distance between customers.
I cancelled. Gutted though.
Don't know what the hell we're going to eat. Every time I manage to get to the shops there's nothing of worth left. Some really brown broccoli was eyeing me up tonight, begging me to take it home but I left it behind.

No because I’m not a selfish moron..".

I think some people are still in the firm belief that herd immunity will be better for this whole saga than social isolation.

It might be that they think personal immunity is better than social isolation. If you're young, why not think that way?

Or that they are old and just think 'fuck it' if you are mid 80s your life expectancy is tiny anyway, why spend 80% of it in social isolation?

No way. I live in London and we are a hotspot. Hopefully I have enough food to not leave the house for days.

Are you ok? Have you had a bump on the head or something?

Well if they are they are ignorant fuckers. I just hope they don't hog all the ventilators that others who have followed the rules may need through no fault of their own.

I don't go to pubs ordinarily. But no, no pub or restaurant-going for the foreseable.

No - because I have common sense and some responsibility

Had to cancel daughter's birthday cinema trip and my Dad's 75th birthday. Likely my uncle's 70th next month too

All can be celebrated later in the year - as long as numpties don't keep spreading...

My Mum still wants 9 of us to go to hers on Sunday. She's over 70 with asthma & COPD. Err, no!

Personally I would like to see those who continue to socialize given lower priority for ventilators. How will they live with themselves when a friend or family member dies and to know they will have added to the death of more NHS workers. Do they think we are different to Italy? It has destroyed my faith in humanity and that give me no hope for the future.

Nope...because I’m in Ireland and they are all closed!!! Thank god!!

I wouldn't have gone to the pub or a restaurant but I probably would have driven to my Mum's and my MIL's to spend a little time.

As it is, I'm quarantined with DH and both DS's thanks to a cough and temperature so Mother's Day gifts were given to my mum by being left on the doorstep so she could do a doorstep pick up whilst I held DS2 (6 months) up at the window and asked DH to keep DS1 (4) away because if he'd have seen my mum he'd have been inconsolable if he couldn't leave with her.

People like this should actually face fines. One of my local pubs posted this earlier. They seem to think it's all a bit of a joke.
