Does anyone else know anyone who thinks ‘household’

[Whatisthepoint2020]

Extends to their partner they don’t live with/their parents and still going to their houses is ok?

Nope. Household is who lives in your house with you. Same house only. That's the rules.

Er ..no!

For goodness sake how many more of these questions?

If people haven't "got" this yet and are still wandering about in other people's homes we're going to be in lock down for the next 5 years!!!
Stay in your own dwelling. Don't go anywhere else and don't see anyone else.
It isn't rocket science.

I don't personally know anyone who thinks this.

I hope I don't know anyone who thinks this.

Are people really that thick?

My next door neighbours seem to think that “household” extends to both sets of their parents.
I don’t think I’ve seen a day go past without one or both sets of parents dropping in for a visit.
The male next door neighbour is a key worker too, so he’s off out to work most days. Presumably that puts him at higher risk of catching CV-19.

I’d guess the parents are all under 70, so not in the very high risk group, but even so.

Yes some people are that thick. Putting us all at risk. This disease is no longer just attacking the vulnerable ..... it's healthy, fit and young people too.

I have no idea why people think this is a joke.

The nightingale was obviously built for shits and giggles!

Stay AT HOME

Yes. Some people are that stupid.

Household - in the way the govt. mean it isn't exactly an everyday word. I'm sure lots of people don't know that meaning of it. I notice the messaging has got a bit clearer now and they sometimes have replaced it with 'people who you live with'.

No!

I take it you’re dealing with a complete idiot?

I know some 20 somethings that have left home who regularly drop into their dads house (hes a key worker) with his encouragement.

Maybe better if everyone, especially govt, said 'home.'

This is archaic vocabulary. The household was the family plus the domestic staff. Shades of 'Members of the jury, is this a book you would want your wives and servants to read?'

I work with a women who constantly shares FB posts about stay at home and rants at ‘idiots’ who are out. Then visits her boyfriends house three or four times a week. Some people are just thick.

Some people just can't accept that "rules" apply up them.

Look at the Scottish CMO - if everyone thinks they can bend the rules in some tiny way because it's "just" them doing it then that's how we end up in continuous lockdown.

The wording in the letter from Boris Johnson says your should not meet friends or relatives who do not live in your home'. Everyone should understand that - it's clear.

'You' not your, sorry.

Plenty, and all idiots.

One I know is still taking her dd to her moms house every couple of days because she doesn't see why she shouldn't.... this person and her dh are front line and driving 10+ miles each way to drop the kid off.

Another I saw a picture on fb of a ' social distancing' street party where everyone was out in their gardens with drinks, all have small fences so could chat but loads were leaning over and maybe 2ft apart and the kids were all running in and out of all the gardens/sitting on negligent laps etc

And a close friend openly says the rules don't apply because they hardly see anyone else anyway so won't stop having family over.

Yes friend's ex is seeing his gf and her son, don't live together. Then also seeing his daughters. Sometimes all at the same time.

He's a dr too ffs..

No, household is people who live within your house.

I don't know anyone who would think differently, I would assume it would be just trying to justify ignoring the guidance.

I have come across of these-
-the woman with DC that says if sister and her DC, her mother, her brother only see each other then its no different than if they lived together.
-the woman who picks up mum (over 70), brings her to her house to look after DS, while she works
-the guy who thinks if he only sees the same people and they only see each other its fine

Well there is confusion as kids who are in shared custody count as one household. Our two move from two houses every few days.

Apart from the fact they are children, its technically the same as us visiting another family member in another house

Some people will interpret or stretch the rules / govt advice to allow them to continue doing the things they really want to,

whether that is socialising with friends and family
or shopping trips for single items like wine or ice cream
or umpteen runs / cycle trips / long dog walks
etc

Rules are for other people

Excellent effort at finding a way to bend the rules.

I get household may be a weird term for some but surely by now you get the message??

Are you really saying that despite everything of the past 2 weeks you really do think people can see others that don't live in their house??

In New Zealand you can have a quarantine buddy you don’t live with if you observe the same rules and don’t see anyone else.

It’s not the case here, but I actually think it’s a very good idea.
