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?

Mind you my mum who has cancer puts disposable gloves on to deal with the daily post and washes the shopping that my sister delivers. She is taking no chances.

I wouldn’t be surprised 😮 if the government are watching threads such as this as a guide to what is going on.
Anyway happy Mother’s Day. I had a Skype call from DD and family who live abroad. When DS got up I was greeted with you look tired 😑 .No wonder.
He is a key worker (food production engineer)Tiredness goes with the territory of motherhood, even when they are adults.

We need lockdown asap, stop trains, stop travels across cities.
I know so many idiots who will carry on, people visiting friends, still going on trains to other cities. Sorry which part of social distancing do you not understand?!? You want the NHS to collapse to save idiots like you!? Putting everyone at risk with no self awareness whatsoever.
2m distance is a bare minimum for when you HAVE to be outside, otherwise stay the fuck in you fuckwits!

@CuckooCuckooClock I would squirt them with the hose. Frontier justice

In all seriousness my father in law is in hospital with Covid and we’re not allowed to visit. Can the “bending the rules for their mental health” people please give me some advice on how we should support our mental health at this time? I take it I should be selfish and visit him and then walk past a kids playground and let my son lick the slide their kids play on? Good mental health is just pleasing yourself by their definition, right?

I think some people believe that as it’s supposed to be a mild illness for most, the sooner they catch it, the sooner they’ll gain immunity and can get on with their life.

It’s so depressing.

Two elderly ladies I have been looking out for in my street, one 80, the other 75.

I saw them this morning walking along the street chatting merrily.

I rang as usual to see if they needed anything.

"Oh no we are fine, we have just been to the garden centre to order some compost and bedding plants"

I despair.

Unitdare -We don’t have to keep 2 m apart from members of our household inside or outside our own house or garden (unless we have a highly vulnerable household member where the advice is different) only 2 m apart from people we don’t live with. We went for a brief walk outside yesterday in what is normally a very quiet area, and I noticed most people were about 5 ft apart ( just under 2m) when passing. We did not see many others but more than I was expecting. Walks keeping your distance from others from other households were allowed up to yesterday-not sure they still are today ( missed last nights briefing) it seems the virus is more contagious than at first thought.
There was a huge queue of cars at a drive through take away!
I think we need drive through essential food shops!

A couplecof houses away our neighbours are also having a party with friends. They've got the hot tub in use.
Super, Covid19 soup.

Going to try a hurl a waterbomb of washing up liquid into the hot tub to give them a good clean.

And then we all have to squeeze into half hour long queues round the edge of Tesco. Alongside loads of over 70s.

Fucking hot tub😱

I'm with you guys....... I'm being as careful as I can. Staying away from everyone I don't live with, not seeing family /friends /avoiding shops etc where possible /washing my hands (away).... . BUT...... I have been out today with my kid for a bike ride. I did notice people out and about but perhaps they are all part of one family. If you live in a family of 6 say, then it might look to some people like your having a social gathering when actually you are just taking a walk.
Are we allowed to go for a walk /bike ride if we stay away from people? Or not?

We didn’t visit MiL today, but Skyped Instead. It isn’t the same but necessary. My son only finished nursery on Friday and I’ve been doing food shopping in the evening for vulnerable neighbours.
SiL however decided they’d go for a walk with our in laws. Who both have underlying health conditions and are over 70. To a busy park in London.
While I’m cross, at least I know if they get CV in the next 2 weeks we will have a clear conscience. SiL won’t be able to say the same.

Hmm yes scrap drive in idea - back to the drawing board? More delivery drivers then? ( I live near an out of town store in a semi rural zone - I guess if we had a drive through store here we would have queues of diesel smoking cars alover the place.

I was about to go out to my local park (5 min walk) as it's normally deserted. Now I feel like a right idiot for even thinking it would be OK as apparently it's really busy!

I wish there was just a proper lockdown now so there was some clarity rather than lots of ifs and buts and "mays" and "coulds". So confusing.

Just heard all our parks will be closed from 7 pm tonight until further notice. Am in London.

And here.

Wankers

What exactly does Brexit have to do with this

Give it a week

Jesus this thread is frightening.

Some one doesn’t even want their husband to go in the garden...

Total strangers are allowed to walk past each other at two metres but not two friends keeping at the exact same space

Jesus Christ. How fucking difficult is it????

The advice saying to keep 2m away from others if you are outside means that if you're out walking and happen to pass others then you should make sure you pass at least 2m apart.

It DOES NOT mean 'meet up as a group of people to all walk together whilst pretending to stay 2m apart.'

For the love of god it's not difficult to understand - it's completely clear.

This wilful disregard for the guidance us exactly what will see us follow in Italy's footsteps and these exact same morons will be the same people surprised at what's happening and looking for someone else to blame.

I fucking despair.

@Success1986
I'm sorry I don't see meeting with you mum as essential, or indeed making visits of any kind

Heard from who *@YgritteSnow ?

Nicola Sturgeon on BBC right now explaining EXACTLY what the social distancing means.

It's exactly what those on here who aren't thick as shit have been saying.

It's is utterly desperate that people are behaving so recklessly. I did read an article about normalcy bias which does explain it though, and makes me feel very sorry that people don't have a better understanding of their own responsibility to understand it.
And frustration that the government isn't doing more to make people see the reality

I despair op, its just ridiculous really plain thick people about. Just keep away from your garden for now all those people at such close proximity to you.
