Ffs neighbours are having a garden party

[CuckooCuckooClock]

WTAF!?
Just popped out to hang my washing. My dc joined me for a run around.
Lots of noise coming from the neighbours garden (next door but one). Including a continuous cough.
They’ve got four extra cars parked on their drive.
What’s wrong with people?
Why would people do this?

I went out early this morning for a solitary walk. Every time I saw someone walking towards me, I crossed the road. I live opposite a common and at 11am, there were a group of about 8 people doing a fitness class together. I won't be going out again except for maybe a 6am walk. I now feel it was wrong to go for my walk this morning

@willdoitinaminute where’s your evidence for that claim?

My in-laws aren't taking it seriously either and were quite put out we weren't attending a family get together today with very frail grandparents. Words fail me.

Why do people need the government to tell them what is right and wrong, look at the world around you, open your eyes and think for yourself, look at Italy, look at our overstretched NHS
now decide if you really need that walk with friends,
I have bad mental health I’ve sobbed today for what is happening, my main job had closed down as it is non essential, I’ll miss my colleagues and the routine so much, but we know for the good of the country we cannot meet up, not because the government says we can or can’t but because it is the right thing to do
I have to go to my second job next week as it is classed as essential, I’m scared, I’m shitting myself, all the idiots who think coming out to buy a scratchcard is essential or they fancy a chocolate bar, putting me and my colleagues at risk, coughing and not covering their mouths
I despair

success the way I’m thinking about it is imagining that I’ve got covid. I’ve got no symptoms but my kids have been in school so it is possible. Then I think, shall I meet my vulnerable mum? It helps me with the decision making

Just noticed a sign on the door of the neighbours who had a party on Friday night. Guessing it's an isolation one.

Went for a walk yesterday and it was not only heaving, but the icecream seller was doing a roaring trade.
I think people are still in slight confusion as Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs and Friday it was ok for kids to be in school, teachers to be there, offices to be open - but by Saturday it is 'DO NOT BE WITHIN TWO METRES OF EACH OTHER!!!!!' Unless you are shopping then it's ok.

Non-essential contact should have begun weeks ago for people to have got the point. It has been such a relatively slow build up from the Gov that people are not taking it seriously.

Our neighbours as well. There’s more than a dozen of them out there, kids running around screaming and climbing on the boundary fence, barbie lit. I was sitting outside with a cup of tea, but have come inside.

What I don't get, with the BBC graphic at the end, is:

Child 2 doesn't get virus from mum but is in isolation for 14 days.
Dad gets it on day 13 (from where, we don't actually know) and isolation doesn't have to start again.

Why not? Someone else is infected.

Yep, we live across from a park and people have been going in since 10.am, and lots of garden parties in our street.
We have been out gardening but there's me, dh and dd 16 who haven't seen anyone for 2 weeks now.

They are stupid and deserve to catch the virus, but then they'll pass it on, selfish cunts.
Time to bring in The Army as too many thick people about.

Ok mumsnet mob piling on @Mustbetimeforchange - I have just taken this from the UK Gov website under the heading 'Mental wellbeing'
You can also go for a walk or exercise outdoors if you stay more than 2 metres from others

So how about calming down the mob mentality and check the official guidance before you start hating people who are following the guidance.

www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-guidance-on-social-distancing-and-for-vulnerable-people/guidance-on-social-distancing-for-everyone-in-the-uk-and-protecting-older-people-and-vulnerable-adults

It's almost like some people want to beat the system and advice from the CMO! My sister insisted on visiting our elderly mother this morning and she's in the vulnerable group herself!! Ffs! People are coming up with all kind of 'ruses' I'll sit the other side of the room, we'll meet in the garden and this go for a walk 2 metres apart bollocks. I cried this morning because I can't see my AC and grandchildren but there is no way I'm going to put their or my own health at risk.

@allthiswasunseen
Look at the context for that remark. That section is all about staying when when you’re away from other people. I’ve posted that earlier.

@allthiswasunseen the very first paragraph of that section...
Understandably, you may find that social distancing can be boring or frustrating. You may find your mood and feelings are affected and you may feel low, worried or have problems sleeping and you might miss being outside with other people.

@crazytimesareoccuring

I agree with this. I was confused until I heard BJ press address on Friday. Before this the schools were closing but the private nurseries open, and other childcare still open, and schools open for kids of key workers with the advisor saying the evidence was these smaller groups of children were very low risk. This behaviour did make it sound like it was okay for smaller groups of children to mix. The guidance since has been clearer, but my local after school club is still sending out messages saying it will take children of any parents who fancy a break.

Dh and I went for a walk yesterday crossing the road to avoid people, went past a moped shop, where they were having a barbecue with about 30 people. I wanted to phone someone to report it but who

It is really clear from this thread that people don't understand what is okay and what is not. You can complain all you like about how people should. But they clearly don't. The Government need to spell it out much more clearly than they have.

Yes @purpledaises I did read the context for that remark. Here it is, I will post it for you to read:
There are simple things you can do that may help, to stay mentally and physically active during this time such as..

And under the such as it includes going for a walk outside and staying two metres away from people. Just like PP said she was going to do.

I give up.

You selfish idiots are going to get us all killed.

Well technically, our old and vulnerable people.

I’m with you purpledaisies

Isnt the 2 metres away thing to do with staying away from others you encounter on your walk? Or have I read it wrong?

@PurpleDaisies you're wasting your time explaining the obvious to these people. It's perfectly clear what the advice is but people are determined to twist the guidance to suit themselves or to beat the system in some way. I'm going to stay at home with my family as I'm sure you're doing with yours, and those who continue ignoring common sense can do so knowing it's on their conscience if they infect someone else through their selfishness and stupidity. I expect they'll also be the first people to moan when we're in complete lockdown.

Hosepipe them.
