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

Of course I will and so will my family.

InfiniteSheldon · 28/04/2020 11:07

No I will be interpreting the rules as flexibly as possible and supporting as many small businesses as I can. This Lockdown has achieved its aim and now we need to consider the economic impact of knee jerk panic on our children's future

tmh88 · 28/04/2020 11:07

yes

YetAnotherSpartacus · 28/04/2020 11:08

Yes

sittingonacornflake · 28/04/2020 11:08

Yes yes yes yes

Yiayoula · 28/04/2020 11:09

100% Yes .

PrivacyOne · 28/04/2020 11:09

Yes. We haven’t yet reached the peak where I live.

Geekgirlmum · 28/04/2020 11:09

yes absolutely

starrynight19 · 28/04/2020 11:09

Yes if it gets us out of this more safely without risking a second peak.
But don’t want to missing my family so much and my baby niece is due in that time.

startswithanL · 28/04/2020 11:10

I'm going to be honest and say probably not. Not that I'll be mixing in lots of public places with vulnerable people either but no I will not be sticking to it to the letter.

Most people I have spoken to who say they are very much for the rules actually aren't following them - so I think it's more about people's 'versions' of the rules, that's to say many many people are breaking 'the golden rules'

SammyPage · 28/04/2020 11:10

Yes

FourTeaFallOut · 28/04/2020 11:10

Yes.

TotorosFurryBehind · 28/04/2020 11:11

No, I've hung in there as long as possible but my mental health is rapidly declining. I am becoming a risk to myself and my baby daughter and there is no help or support available via NHS for my PND at present.

RickOShay · 28/04/2020 11:11

Yes definitely

startswithanL · 28/04/2020 11:11

@TotorosFurryBehind yes this!

LolaLollypop · 28/04/2020 11:11

Reluctantly yes. But I really really hope it's not another 3 weeks. I really need to see my parents soon.

PinkSpring · 28/04/2020 11:12

No

1990shopefulftm · 28/04/2020 11:13

Yes, I m pregnant and asthmatic so hoping things will be better in the hospital's by my due date.

Jjcrackers · 28/04/2020 11:13

what are the differences between lockdown rules and Mumsnet lockdown rules?

ginsparkles · 28/04/2020 11:13

Yes.

inmyshedsmoking2000 · 28/04/2020 11:13

No.

After 6 weeks of not seeing my boyfriend or family I will make my own risk assessment and visit them intermittently.
I will adhere to all the other rules but not that one any longer.

monkeytennis97 · 28/04/2020 11:13

Yes. And that would include not seeing our son in his care home. It's breaking our hearts but we have to do it, everyone.

WanderingMilly · 28/04/2020 11:13

Of course, yes.

timeforawine · 28/04/2020 11:14

No/yes
I will take my daughter to see her best friend, or have them come here as both are really struggling now and are too young (3.5) to really understand why they can't play, plus us parents are starting to struggle to keep them entertained and work.
The rest of the rules i would continue to follow

toastfiend · 28/04/2020 11:14

Yes
