People demanding a full lock down

[Londongirl88888]

It really really annoys me! Most of us are following rules. Not even going for a walk most days. People are kicking off on my local corna page that theres more cars in town today. So they now think we need a full lock down.

Firstly it's the weekend. More people will be shopping due to being at work all week? People might be shopping for other family and dropping it off.

Theres a police statement that the a52 is really quiet and they are saying well done for listening.

People are allowed out for walks. It's important for dogs, children and adults to get air and move around. It should be one walk a day. It can't be controlled if 400 people choose to do just that between 1-2pm or only 30 do. So yes the streets may sometimes show more people. But most of them are probably just going for a walk. The only thing we have left for our minds and health.

I'm not talking about people having picnics,
Travelling for an afternoon walk somewhere,
Sneaking to see family unless they need help.

I'm saying the majority of people are going to be doing the decent thing.

I think rather than fully locking us down fine the minority sat in groups and doing the "wrong" things. Give them a full lockdown but don't punish the many decent people.

The parents/people in flats without gardens need to walk

Young children need to move.

We all need to move about.

Also i wish people would stop getting in a rage about cars being out. There are no online shopping slots. So thousands of locals will need to go out for food each week. Milk and bread etc will need buying for many every few days. Pet food needs buying. Prescriptions need collecting. Workers need to go to and from work.

A huge majority of people are following the rules. I'm sick of everyone being put into the same category. My kids have gone for their 3rd walk in two weeks just now with their dad. I'm sure people will be tutting and presuming we are another family out and not listening. They need to get out for 15 minutes today though. They are starting to climb the walls and get bored.

Far too many irate people at the moment.

Milk and bread provide are part of an essential part of a nutritionally balanced diet. They are an useful way to get vitamins and minerals into children for example peanut butter on toast or cereal , oats etc. Its especially important that we keep ourselves and our children healthy and the moment. To the poster who stated that these items aren't essential, and I mean this is a nice way, I think you have posted without thinking it through.

Milk and bread are definitely essentials to anyone who has kids!

i saw more cars on my way to work.....yes!! payday was ridiculous, everyone out

having to tell people to go home we are closed, is ridiculous. they act like its the first they've heard about it.....or tell me to fuck off as they have driven all the way to buy new curtains!!

We need a proper lockdown, we've shown we're too stupid to be trusted.

i have kids...no bread? they will wait til our next shop.....my son has had crackers instead for lunch. its not vital, be inventive.

I agree, a lot of bootlickers competing in the misery Olympics on here.

It's ok, I don't think hedges can catch Coronavirus.

I received an email from Transport for Greater Manchester last night saying they only want you to use public transport if absolutely necessary and they want you to make journeys by either foot, bike or car. If this advice is followed then I expect ill see a lot more traffic on the roads over the next few weeks.

These people live on a main road through town. So they are in the garden/flats looking out. They are complaining about cars heading towards town. Even in this lockdown I still think Saturday is going to be a busy day for shopping and helping out other families.

Essentials for me are bread, cheese, milk, ham, cereal, veg, pasta, mince, chicken biscuits, fruit, toilet roll, pasta sauce and yoghurts and tuna. If I have these things I can feed my kids 3 meals a day.

Yes we've got to be sensible. but we are still humans who need to live, eat and be happy. The damage this lockdown is causing for the economy and the problems and poverty we will see afterwards are depressing enough. All the death and misery around us all. The right to have a simple walk and not be judged for being in the car on a Saturday is a small ask. If you are breaking the rules then you deserve judgement. But people haven't got a set time to go out so yes you expect late morning and early afternoon to see people out for essentials, walks and dog walks.

Think about people living alone. There walk and occasional trip for milk could be the only time they see another human. Even if it is from afar. We've got to remember we are not just hiding from coronavirus. We need to try and be happy still.

I think we will get a further lockdown after this weekend.

DH has just been out as we need food, bread mouldy no milk etc. Big queue for Aldi, Asda, Lidl. Pavements busier than ever. Large family groups out.

It's not fair. I haven't left the house in over two weeks now.

As for my area in a ruralish area of Scotland everyone seems to be taking heed so all good here and I am frontline community nursing so am out and about a lot

Or shall I just lick the dust from my hoover nozzle to sustain me?

😂

i agree with your dh @HairyFloppins the idiots are still travelling around

I think we need lockdown. I've never seen so many people walk past my house. I did the weekly shop yesterday and the roads were so busy compared to a week ago. The local field area prob had 100 or more on there. Even height of summer there's Norm only about 20.

Thw people over the back from me are currently holding a bbq with about 10 people in the garden as we speak.

@LavenderQuartz what if you don't have crackers or your toddler hates them?

My kids have toast or cereal for breakfast
They have sandwiches mostly or pasta for lunch. (You can't buy pasta anymore!)

Not like I can pop out for fresh salad and stuff to be "more creative"

Also I couldn't even find frozen chips for the last 3 weeks. So yeah if we ran out of bread I would pop chips and fish fingers in. Or cook pasta. But we can't find those things now either. So the bread is essential. You need to be more creative than a cracker!

It must be different in different areas - didn't see many children in the supermarket when I went just now and streets are very quite.

My elderly relative is complaining that people are outside! Walking along his street! And sometimes there are 2 people together!

We reminded him about the rules. (How the fuck does he think we're getting his shopping!)

But I still don't think he took it on board. There's a lot of stupid out there.

sorry but theres loads of people 0ut look at the news people in parks again cycling in groups its not just shoppers

theyre not listening so i think totasl lockdown would be good now

We certainly do.

Too many selfish piss takers

As I write this my Aunt is battling Covid 19

She is one of the sheltered ones

People visiting family and friends , people out and about and so many not adhering to social distancing rules.

It's an absolute fucking joke.

I'm really confused. On my local facebook pages, people are complaining that nobody is sticking to the rules and too many people are going whilst at the same time the local police are posting pictures of empty streets and thanking and congratulating people for staying at home. Really don't get it!!

What do people think a full lockdown will achieve? I genuinely don’t
understand it

This virus isn’t going away. It’s here to stay. If we all lockdown, we will have to crawl back out again to meet it once more

Far better to keep low levels of ongoing infection and the vulnerable indoors.

People in groups should be fined! Punish them and make a show of them. Other idiots may then realise the consequences. But don't punish everyone else. Every 3-4 days I go for a quick walk and that's keeping me sane. I go nice and early. I think we will all become ill being banned from walking. Especially people in flats. Really unhealthy. I don't think people are thinking about how many people would suffer.

@MARMITEcheese2020 But you had gone out shopping presumably in your car when you saw all these other cars. Your car was one of those that were out. Yes you were out for a legitimate reason but probably so were the vast majority of the other cars you saw.

People are having a street party round here, friends invited etc. Too ignorant, too selfish? Who knows. But they'll be out there clapping next possible opportunity as well.
