Rant about our neighbours.

[Bigjigsaw]

Our next door neighbours have had a visit every day from their son with the shopping (why it's needed every day I don't know) usually stand on the drive talking not 2m apart though, but on Friday the son turned up with his wife and child and they all went inside for nearly 2 hours. The neighbours have underlying health problems that's why they are not going to the shop.

About an hour ago an ambulance turned up and has taken the husband to hospital. I went out and shouted to the wife what's happened and guess what her Dh has a bad cough and is finding it difficult to breathe. She was complaining that she wasn't allowed to go with him to the hospital.

As my Dh has said you can't educate stupid.

Pure despair at the humanity.

What a goady post here have a

Your NDN is now also likely to have it and will be scared about both her husband and herself. I hope you said something comforting to her or offered her some support rather than ranting an an elderly lady who may never see her husband again.

Compassion and kindness is not what will reduce the awful numbers dying,
Following the rules will.

@MrsKeats I can assure you shaming a neighbour whose husband has just been taken to hospital by ambulance definitely won't reduce the numbers dying. It's spiteful, poisonous vective and I'm clearly not the only one who thinks the OP ought to be utterly ashamed. I never weigh in on threads here but this has really got to me. I'm sick of all the bored keyboard warriors sitting at home these days smugly judging others. I bet the OP was one of those hypocrites who posted "in a world in which you can be anything, be kind" on Facebook after the death of Caroline Flack and yet could barely wait to tell Mumsnet about her "stupid" neighbour who wanted to go in an ambulance with her husband. God this virus really has brought out the very worst in our society.

My Dad has various neurological issues. I would rather visit him and risk hastening his end/catching his CV than have him lonely and confused any longer.
Maybe your neighbours family feel their visits are worth the risk to someone with a low quality of life and poor life expectancy, not for there sake but for your neighbours. Perhaps except for visiting NDN they are impeachable CV avoiders.

Who knows. You don’t.

The neighbour is not being 'shamed' as we have no idea who she is.
Our neighbours are still outside with a group from next door. All the kids are playing etc, shall I be kind about that?
People are idiots.

I find this post very distasteful.
