Will you stick to the rules if lockdown in the UK is extended for another 3 weeks

[Bearbehind]

Just a Yes or No thread there are hundreds on the ins and outs of this.

This morning I read that Matt Hancock is claiming support for an extension is strong amongst the public but that’s not the impression I’m getting from social media

So, will you stick to the rules if lockdown in the UK is extended for another 3 weeks

Yes or No

Yes

Yes.

Yes.

I won't be putting anyone else at risk.

Yes.

I don’t think 3 weeks is enough.

Yes,

But my not so "d"h will not. One way or another he manages to pop to a food shop almost daily for milk/bread/a little of whatever he fancies. He doesn't take any precautions like wiping packaging with soapy water/washing hands as soon as he returns or anything. I so wish a shop worker on the tills would remark on the frequency of his visits to shame him into staying at home. He won't listen to me as he just thinks that now he hasn't got to use public transport daily he is soo much safer anyway. He's risking bring CV into our home which pisses me off.

I am seeing his selfish stubborn side flourish at the moment.

Yes

Yes

Yes, I'm finding it really difficult not seeing family but still 100% yes.

Yes but I guess.

My parents are shielded and need me to get eg.their medicines and deliver them to them (don’t drive so on foot). I will sit and have a rest in their garden and a quick distanced chat. That isn’t actually against rules as we’re allowed to be out providing for the needs of vulnerable people but some would see it otherwise.

Some on here would happily see me crammed in a 3mx3m room with 180 kids over the course of a day but begrudge my elderly parents a 10 minute metres apart in the fresh air chat whilst I deliver essential medications.

Yes

Well most people will have to follow the rules to some extent. It’s not like they can just decide to go to work when their office is still closed, or send their children to school, or go out for dinner, or go on a shopping spree in town, or sit in a beer garden... the most anyone can really do that they shouldn’t is see their friends and family.

Yes

I can’t believe you’d risk their life just for your own wants.
It wouldnt risk their life. None of us have been out for 2 weeks. It will be more than 3 weeks by then. My parents are in their early 50s, have no underlying health conditions. I would be risking my own health more than theirs.

Yes, and for as long as it is needed.

No.

I will on everything except for not seeing my partner. It’s ridiculous that we are forbidden from seeing each other because we live separately.

Yes

Yes, but if it's to be extended I would like to see more enforcement of flagrant breaches.

I know I said Yes or No answers only but now I’m intrigued by those who are saying ‘No’ 😂

I wonder to what extent they’re thinking of breaching the rules and whether they’re already doing it anyway.

Hopefully the rumour about being able to circulate with a ‘bubble’ of people if there is an extension is true as it seems it would solve the problems of many who want to see parents / partners / children

Yes.

Yes of course, it’s killing me not being able to see my 8 month old Grandson but as DH came home from work with symptoms on Sunday and having both been tested yesterday, it brought home how important it is.

I’m hoping we both test positive, if it’s negative I will still isolate for 14 days, given that the false neg rate is somewhere around 30% !

Yes, obviously.

I would rather do another 3 weeks .than be let out too early and risk a second peak!

Don’t forget the people shielding for 12 weeks either, it’s not just another 3 weeks for them

We're not high enough risk to be in the shielded category but we're in the 12-13 weeks socially distancing group (Age + his asthma and my diabetes). We reach 6 weeks today and have at least another 6 weeks to go.

My motivation for anything has gone - I'm normally enthusiastic about 'making the best of it' but I lost that ability yesterday and can't see any 'best' about it. I'm rapidly losing the will to live.

I've stayed mostly positive so fat by keeping in touch with friends by phone and on FB. But it's grinding to a halt - none of us are doing anything, nothing's happening, so there's nothing to say any more. Never before have I thought about life as just filling in time until I die, but that's all it is now.

Seriously tempted to get out there and mingle, then if I start to show any signs of the virus, take all the painkillers in the house and leave it all behind. Nothing to live for any more.

Yes. For all the abused women, children and, yes, men stuck at home in truly awful situations. For the kids who would be safer and better fed in school. The more we comply, the sooner the restrictions get (slowly) lifted.

Yes
