Are people actually going out?

[allthesharks]

I live on a very quiet close and I've only been out once since lockdown started, to the supermarket, where everyone who was there was allowed to be. I haven't seen anyone flouting the rules, because I haven't been anywhere to witness it IYSWIM. But I've seen so many social media posts urging people to not break the rules, to stay home, to take it seriously etc. Are a lot of people still going out when they shouldn't? Have you witnessed this? Is it just a few people or a fair amount?

My neighbour goes out most days. I often hear her own the phone arranging to meet friends and family and tonight her nephew called round for a film and sleepover. I’m fuming.

Daily walk, incorporating the weekly shop for me and mum, and getting to my key work on those days. If I'm out I stick to the social distancing rules assiduously (and as far as I can in the supermarket/work role).

There is zero risk to anyone from me walking down an empty street.

My family husband kids etc and family on my side are all sticking to staying it. I HAD to go out to our local Sainsbury's today having not being out in well over a week and now not having much food left in the house at all and I was surprised to see how many people were out and about walking in groups.

Cant you borrow a neighbours day?

I thought this was not recommended as the virus can be carried in pets coats?
To allow your dog to be petted by many people may be putting you all at increased risk?

I went to the school Monday to collect lunch parcel. Had to nip to supermarket today. Felt like I was standing in a nightclub queue with a bouncer on the door but havent been anywhere else. I'm definitely going for a nice long walk tomorrow I need to get out the house.

Dog!! Not day

I last went out on Sunday to shop for a vulnerable adult. I was very surprised to see more people and considerably more cars than there were on the Thursday when I'd shopped for my household. I'm not going out for walks because of the amount of people who are around.

Most people being sensible here from what I can see, but do see teens in pairs / groups who I very much doubt live in the same household.

When I'm out for a run / walk / cycle most people are keeping their distance. The exception seems to be mostly the teens and bizarrely the 70+.

Fewer people around where I live, but still difficult to avoid people. The pavements aren't wide enough to keep 2m apart especially when people have to queue outside supermarkets and chemists.
I don't drive and public transport is not allowed so there's no way I could only do my shopping once every 2 weeks.
There are big groups of teenagers hanging around as if nothing has changed as well, though I think it's getting a bit better.

I've only been out to the supermarket, which I've timed to do when DS is with his father so that I don't have to take him. We've been out for maybe 20/30 mins walk every couple of days or so, but that's it. With the exception of DS visiting his Dad, we haven't been doing any socialising with friends/relatives.

Letting your kids run around in a communal hallway is not social distancing ffs. You were best off sticking with the local park.

I am a key worker and we are operating a skeleton office service. I go to work once a week and to the supermarket once a week. The rest of the time I stay in and wfh. Today I was in the supermarket and saw lots of people shopping in couples. I don't understand why they think the rules are not for them

Once a day yes. For food shopping but more often taking my toddler for a walk.

I’m not in the UK, though the restrictions here are similar. Today a huge convoy of cars drove down my very quiet street, all decorated with balloons and flowers, some carrying 4 or more passengers, windows open, people poking their heads out. I have no idea what they were celebrating, but it looked to me like the very definition of an unnecessary outing. I have never seen so many cars on my street at one time. And now when we are all supposed to stay at home as much as possible, these idiots felt they had to be out and about for some reason. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I went to Tesco on Monday , after one cough had cleared up and now I have another cough so stuck at home. I wish we had testing so I'd know if either of these was Covid 19

Next door (empty) has workmen in for the last week. Is that technically permissible if they all stand 6 ft apart?

I'm going out once a day at 7am for a walk - I live very rurally and might see one (distant) person the entire time I'm out. Other than that, I stay home - my DH does the shopping as I'm 37 wks pregnant. He's working from home, but in a key role meaning conference calls up to 15 hrs a day.

I’m going out every day for a walk , sometimes with my sister , though we distance ourselves , other times with DH & DD
Supermarket on my own , once a week
We live rurally , and we see people walking , mostly singly but sometimes twos
It’s difficult to know what is going on elsewhere , we are rural , and there’s definitely a lot less traffic on the road ... apart from tractors 🚜

On Monday it’ll be three weeks since I left my house other than a dog walk each day on the (deserted) moor opposite. As long as I can keep getting food deliveries I’ll happily keep doing it for another three months if that’s what it takes.

Those NURSES today. In their thirties. Mums of 3.
Fuxake. The sooner police start arresting rule breakers the better.

DH is a key worker and goes to work 6 days a week. The DC and I have been absolutely no where for 14 days apart from our daily walk where we avoid others.

The oldies around here are still out and about. We have dropped leaflets etc saying they we will do it all, but I think they really can't bear to stay home. If they watch the news they will know they are at high risk so what can you do.

I'm seventy. I take the dog out once a day for a good walk in the residential area around the house. The streets are very quiet and I cross over when anyone else comes along. There's much less traffic so it's pleasant.

I haven't been to any shops, visited or met up with anyone so I'm following the rules.

Been quiet here, teenage girl next door seems to have her boyfriend coming and going which I am surprised at the mum allowing tbh. There are other older teens in the street and you usually see bf/gf cars but there’s been nothing. My son is 14 and says that some people he knows have still been going out and to friends’ houses etc but my kids and their friends are all staying put. I have been to the shops once and out for a few walks.

I see people walking past our window all the time... and we don't live on a particularly busy street.
Neighbours are still popping to their kids houses, who live on the same road. A few neighbours have all been chatting at the end of their drives..... not 2metres apart.

My mum and stepdad made an essential trip to Halfords and home bargains today too 🙄

Personally I have left the house once in the past 3 weeks 😫

My 91 year old Nanna isn't s
following the rules. She is still very active, and says she hates the thought of 3 months stuck at home. She'd rather take her chances. I don't agree with her, but she can't be told.

It's not too bad here, I'm by a road and there's so little traffic I can hear the birds during the day
