How many of you are still going out and what area are you in?

[Lottiebugz22]

Just interested to see what is happening in different areas around the UK right now. From high coronavirus areas to low coronavirus areas.

Rural Dorset, continuing life as normal.

East Cheshire and in the emergency services. I’m still going out but avoiding places like cafes, shopping centres etc. I’ll be taking my son to a local National Trust tomorrow and he’ll be going to nursery on Monday. Who knows how much I’ll see of him in the next few weeks so I’m trying to make the most of it while I can.

I wish those of you in the South West/Dorset who are carrying on as normal could see how ill my parents based down there are - late 70s, only go out to a few places usually. Both very ill with coughs and self-isolating. You might be fine but you might well be passing it in to people like them who are vulnerable. Just stay home. It’s not difficult. Just stop being so selfish.

London. Wfh and only seeing my family. I go out for walk but make sure so don’t get close to people if I pass them. All shopping online. If I receive packages I leave it a few days before opening them.

South East...I have got to go to work so no choice in leaving the house. The roads and street are dead...bit like going 2 work on Xmas eve! Been to the shops and there is fuck all on the shelves as usual, can't wait until Saturday...planning a long walk with my niece and nephew...who knows what next week will bring!
Stay Safe everybody

West of Scotland, only leaving the house for 1 supermarket trip a week and took DD age 2 out for a walk today, we were outside for 30 mins total then straight back home. Not sure I would do it again when the schools close. I'm 30 weeks pregnant so not risking it. DH is still at work, but drives there and back and has minimal contact with others.

I've stopped in for two day. Today I went into the mountains. I went to a range that I now I rarely see people in the week. I have been walking for a few hours and didn't pass a soul.
All my normal social activities have stopped. I've cancelled having friends round tonight and going out on Saturday. I have cancelled Mother's day meal.

Manchester here, wfh now so only out for essentials, collect medication, last school run and hairdresser tomorrow. After that, no intention of going anywhere except for walks at long distance from others!

SW - DH is a teacher so still at work but I’m retired. DS’s special school shut earlier in the week so we’ve been at home since, apart from taking him to a field for exercise, a hospital appointment for me and food shopping ( no online delivery slots here at all). Last week I went to see my dad for a planning meeting about how to support him through self isolation. So tomorrow DS has a carer coming in and I’m delivering shopping and some batch cooked meals for my dad. Apart from that we’re not seeing anyone or going anywhere. I think it’s probably the best we can do at the moment. Oh and DS1 is returning from Australia on Sun and will be self isolating for 7 days min in our bedroom.

Iseethesilverlining I hope your parents make full and swift recoveries.
You’re so right, I can’t believe people think ‘low risk’ means they’re at low risk of catching it, rather than low risk of becoming very ill themselves.
Yes, toddlers can pick up the virus, yes it’s true they’re likely to be fine, but if their grandparents catch it from said toddler there may not be such a happy ending.

Wales, no longer going out unless necessary which means shopping for necessities and, well, until tomorrow, the school run. The only people I'm visiting are my my mother and her DH, neither are at risk and neither is anyone in my household so we decided to keep visiting eachother.

South East. Only left house to do school runs, supermarket and 1 walk per day

Scotland. After kids finish school tomorrow, only me going out to work.

We're avoiding socialising, including parents. :( Only essential shopping trips.

Hoping to get out in the fresh air a bit as we're rural, so we can keep away from anyone on walks.

Agree that loads of people not really taking it seriously.

Although a local parents message group has sprung up now the kids will be off school and was pleasantly surprised almost everyone is complying with distancing and not socialising or excessive shopping.

SE, been to the supermarket and the garden centre today. Wanted seeds to try and grow some vegetables. That's it.

@dontaskformedicaladviceonmn

Abit harsh why would I get put on a ventilator anyway ? As far as I’m aware it’s high risk people that end up in hospitals ? Il take all this on board though an stay away from places I think. I felt guilty anyway like I’d made the wrong decision I suppose it’s because I saw other people out and about I’m just abit im sure at the moment . I didn’t think it was a risk to babies either. I’m very clean with my hands etc

Yesterday and day before it was much quieter, today seems extra busy constant cars going passed the house im actually noticing it!

I went to my gym yday bmthere was only 5 of us in there but st least 2 people were bot wiping down equipment after they used it. I've stopped going, how stupid are they being, these are adults who should know better.

Also went to pharmacy today and the pharmacist coughed into her hand and carried on as normal, like wtaf.

Fml I'll be staying in, only going out for a bike ride or walk away from other people.

*unsure

I’m in Scotland, my work place is closed to the public but all the staff still have to come in and work and clean and tidy. So I’m out every day. My dd1 is still at work and my dh is still working. Dh works in a supermarket so even if we go into full lockdown he will still have to work. Dd2 finishes school tomorrow and will be staying in.

I have an 88 year old granny to look after too, who keeps saying that she’ll go out if she wants, aargh She hasn’t been out this week but we keep trying to impress on her how important it is that she doesn’t just nip out to the shop. I am getting her shopping for her but the shelves are quite bare. We also have my mil who is in her 70’s, she doesn’t go out much anyway,but dh is taking food to her too.

I went out to the supermarket today, because we needed essentials. Otherwise, we've been staying at home, except for dd, who has been going to school. Obviously, that will end tomorrow. After that, we may go out for a walk in the woods every now and then, but nowhere else.

Me and OH are both high risk so both WFH, pulled DS out of school a few days ago. Only.leaving the house for food shopping and to walk the dog.

District nurse here, south east. Obviously have to go out, visit the most vulnerable patients, on chemo etc. DH wants me to stop, but we can’t. Have cut the case load down as much as we can, families have to do more, i.e. give insulin, do minor dressings. We have to prioritise our patients now, whilst worrying about our own health. We have no masks ( proper, not those useless paper ones ) and have only just received hand gel. Only a matter of time before we start getting ill.

York. It's like a ghost town. I can't WFH so have been in town at what's normally peak times, and there's no one around. Barely any traffic either (can take up to an hour to drive 2 miles, which is why I walk).

It's horrible. It's like Christmas Day, but even worse.

Greater London. It’s eerily quiet around me. Roads empty. Been taking Dc to school and even that has gotten quieter during the week.
Completely stopped all ‘non essential’ activity. Have a few medical appts lined up and aside from those and vital restocks of food, we’re staying in.

@xdes you asked, so I'll answer: yes you're being selfish. You're thinking only of yourself. You could be infectious. You could be a silent spreader. You could be passing it on to other, vulnerable, people. Why do you think the advice is only applicable to that group? It isn't - we ALL have to prevent the spread. You might not die, but others will, and all for a fucking burger. Stay at home unless it's low contact or essential.

Central Scotland, SAHM with two under five and DP WFM. DP is going out to the supermarket for us and MIL (supposed to be once a week but they had no milk, bread or nappies today so he'll have to go out again tomorrow). DP is leaving MIL shopping on the door step. DP is cycling and jogging. Myself and the kids staying in.
