Still coming and going as normal honestly can not believe it. Would report it but don't want to be a busy body!

Why is this your business??

ifonly4 · 02/04/2020 14:30

I'd certainly be annoyed, they're carrying on as normal while everyone else is being restricted and following guidelines in the hope we can reduce the number of cases and take pressure off the NHS.

Netflixqueen · 02/04/2020 14:33

It's not my business I just think it's terrible. Everyone is staying in there homes and my next door has the grandkids round still pretty much everyday with daughter in law. They should stay at home! Her Partner is still working and 2 people from his work have gone home due to symptoms but their still visiting. Mind boggling.

It’s shit, right enough. Our neighbours have been doing this and it just rubs salt in the wound of how much my parents miss my DS. But I’m not willing to risk it. Best just to let it go and remember you’re doing the right things to keep your loved ones safe.

HappyHammy · 02/04/2020 14:37

You can report your concern online now

Missh07 · 02/04/2020 14:44

If I was her I'd stop telling you my business for starters!

wheresmymojo · 02/04/2020 14:45

Why is this your business??

It's everyone's business.

Everyone who works in the NHS
Everyone who cares for someone who works in the NHS
Everyone who might need hospital care this year
Everyone who has an underlying health condition
Everyone who loves someone with an underlying condition

It's everyone's business.

Seriously in 1942 in the Blitz if someone had their lights on during the blackout would you be asking why it's someone's business?

Witchofzog · 02/04/2020 14:48

Have people on here gone bonkers? Seriously- this is everyone's business. Selfishness like this is what is adding to this crisis. If every one carried on like this them more people will die. Grandparents, mothers, fathers daughters, sons all taken away forever because selfish people cannot respect government guidelines. All those saying it's none of your business- I hope it's not your loved one taken too soon. Jeez

Witchofzog · 02/04/2020 14:49

Sorry not guidelines. Rules. Essential fucking rules.

JustMySize · 02/04/2020 14:57

@starfishmummy

It should be everyone business, they should be staying away, it that too hard to understand?

@Missh07

It doesn't say her neighbour told her anything.

Badoukas · 02/04/2020 15:01

They are ignorant fuckwits.

Laiste · 02/04/2020 15:14

Not OP's business ???

I ....... no, I have no words.

Number12 · 02/04/2020 15:22

Op has EVERY right to be concerned! Its all our business when its our lives on the line. What makes them different? Our frontline NHS staff risking their lives and families. They deserve to be reported. Unnecessary travel.

minniemoll · 02/04/2020 15:25

So the DIL or the grandchildren give it to the grandparent, who ends up in hospital taking up precious resources. But it's not anybody else's business?????

The rules are for everybody folks, like it or not, and people breaking them without very good reason need to be stopped.

bluewafflewithmayo · 02/04/2020 15:28

Keep your beak out of other peoples' business ffs.

Anyone using that report online function should be fucking ashamed.

emmathedilemma · 02/04/2020 15:30

I've got some neighbours that are the same with family who live down the road and their daughter was playing out with another child earlier in the week. The other child's mother is a nurse ffs!!

Wannabangbang · 02/04/2020 15:34

I'm fed up with people flouting the guidelines, sooner or later we will have a much tougher lockdown enforced due to twats of this nature. But I'm not sure what anyone can do about such pondweed of society until then!

tootyfruitypickle · 02/04/2020 15:36

My neighbours are having people in and out all the time and while I’m absolutely fuming, I’ve no intention of reporting. But I will never forget this and I’m no longer telling the dc to be quiet for the benefit of the neighbours (joined one side and previously they have mentioned kids noise). So in some ways it’s liberating Smile

Netflixqueen · 02/04/2020 15:37

@bluewafflewithmayo I'm guessing your one of those people who are still visiting family then.

QuayboardWarrior · 02/04/2020 15:37

It's happening on my street in a few adults only houses and the street next to it. I shared a lockdown post and said I keep seeing people going about visiting friends and family as if lockdown isn't a thing and added to PLEASE STOP!

I ended up with an older disabled lady yelling at me at my door for having a go at her putting up posts on FB about her. She told me I needed to come and say it to her face and how it wasn't a big deal that her friend was coming to see her and she was going to hers etc. She also brought up me driving my COPD mother in law to the shops the week before because she struggles to walk (before car sharing became a big no no) and how my DH has been going for walks with me (?). Oddly enough she then went on a rant how her friends adult DD and DGD were always going there visiting and how her neighbours were babysitting each others kids. So she apparently does have a problem but also doesn't? And another put up a snarky post about me. Pretty sure that was her adult DD's boyfriend there all day the other day.

Suppose I could just go ahead and report them instead of saying Please stop....

Weregoingonanadventure · 02/04/2020 15:37

@starfishmummy
It is everyone's business. If people keep on flouting the rules and spreading the virus we will all be under stricter lockdowns for a longer time period.
If people keep on visiting relatives then the NHS end up under more pressure, and when someone needs a bed they wont get one.
If her neighbour catches it from the DIL and then goes to the local shop, everyone else in the shop is going to get it. What do you not understand? Why is this no one else's business?

I hope you're not saying that because you're behaving in the same manner.

That's the stupidest comment I've seen for quite some time.

YellowCorvette · 02/04/2020 15:40

Keep your beak out of other peoples' business ffs.

Defensive, much? You're probably one of the Covidiots that think the rules don't apply to you because you're special.

It IS the OP's business, it matters to all of us.

Isadora2007 · 02/04/2020 15:40

How will the DIL or the grandchildren actually put you at risk though? I dont really see how it directly affects anyone else. If the neighbour is still shopping she will be at as much risk to spread the covid19 from her shopping expeditions as she will from her visits. 🤔

GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat · 02/04/2020 15:40

Our neighbours are the same, in and out of the house all day long. People pulling up and tooting to collect them, popping out for newspapers and crap, still advertising their (non-essential) trade on fb.
