Lighthearted - I know covid is incredibly serious but sometimes if you dont laugh you cry!

I've seen the following:
People wearing gloves all round shops then getting in their car and driving off with them.

A woman with her mask on her forehead whilst she stood near the shop doors to smoke.

A woman wearing a mask seeing someone she knew then going and standing close with mask down to talk to them.

My sister claims to have seen a man wearing gloves in the supermarket only to take one off with his mouth to use his phone screen.

How about you? What's made you go 🤦🏻‍♀️ recently?

Crazy. It's almost as if the general public don't get trained in infection control..

Madest thing I've seen; when coming back home last week after a two day shift was all the street party's for v-day. Actual party's with adults running around the street bare footed playing curb ball 🤣

The BBC NW filming the Conga on VE day. Just generally Thursdays at 8pm. Again as televised by the BBC. 'Socially distanced' Daily Kitchen on the BBC with guests. The BBC doing pieces on community stars and then having a huge crowd (with lots of their family included) outside their house to congratulate them - obviously essentially travelling and out for their daily exercise. The BBC interviewing and filming a woman who was 'meeting up with one person' (her mum) for the first time since lockdown was eased.

Just generally the complete outstanding level of complete lack of self awareness and unwittingly setting the worst visuals on how not to behave during lockdown by the BBC.

I have been playing a game of spot the idiotic BBC behaviour.

@nonononon it diesnt take being trained in infection control to be able to follow some fairly basic instructions on not touching your face (removing mask) or staying 2meters (often drawn on the floor) apart though
