Is anyone actually bothering to report flouting now?

[SanityDecreasing]

Hi,

So I've seen quite a few threads where the poster gets flamed for suggesting it - "who would you actually report to?!... "mind your own business" etc

But aren't there some scenarios that should be reported?

For example, what if your neighbours teen DDs are constantly having friends over? All day, every day. Sometimes large groups staying for most of the day, inside the house. All coming and going in cramped cars.

No, I'm not curtain twitching or trying to be nosey. I can see it all going on clearly out my living room window from the sofa and I've actually been trying to ignore it, as it does genuinely get my blood boiling and I don't want to feel angry.

I do feel sorry for DCs at home all day, bored, not being able to see their friends. I have a teen DD myself and my heart breaks for her when I think of everything she's missing out on, but it is what it is. We're doing it for a reason!

I'm not saying send over the heavies, but does anyone think that someone needs to have a word?

Their parents aren't in during the day, so I'm not sure they're aware of it, but they're not the most approachable.... shall we say, so I wouldn't really want to potentially cause an argument.

WWYD?

@SanityDecreasing Yes I am

@Lynda07 where is the evidence is transmitted via clothing? In Scotland in phase 2 which is potentially the next few weeks we will be able to met one household indoors. If there is a risk re clothing then can you link it please as it would be useful to see

I have to say, after watching the briefing today and momentarily allowing myself to get excited that we could go and stay with my parents or they could come to us, hearing next door currently doing karaoke with their mates is making it very difficult to keep my mouth shut

I actually cried when I realised I'd got it wrong and we couldn't see them and hug them again, for the foreseeable.

I'm starting to get very resentful.

OP, aren't you meeting up in the garden etc?

There's a theory being put out that only 20% of people who are infected, can spread it. All of my DD's and their partners (and the partner's family) are key workers and I'm starting to think that transmission isn't what we thought it was at the start. Not all groups of people are coming down with symptoms.

I should add that we are all travelling on public transport.

I think people have given up. We're still at home but christ it's going to a long summer.

The police aren't doing anything now, reporting is literally pointless

That's not the case where I work. Were still getting loads of reports & respond to most of them

I don't have evidence, I only read people saying they changed and washed clothes before bathing/sanitising if they had been somewhere (read it on here). I would be delighted to discover the virus isn't transmitted on clothes!

On googling I found various articles about it; the general consensus is that clothes are low risk. I'll post just one article:

I don’t get it either, regarding the inside/outside. Dh works in a small dark room with 8 other people, one whose wife tested positive. Not one of them have caught it. Sometimes 12/13 hour days. How can they manage that but we can sit in the kitchen with a coffee

Personally I wouldn't bother to report people, the people who are blatently breaking the rules are generally people with whom one does not want to.....have a falling out
I just keep well away from everyone!

I have no idea what the rules are now,I never watch the News or read anything about the virus.

I am way past caring,I am just going about my life as normal as far as I can.

I've long since stopped obeying the letter of the law - partly because it has changed so often I can't keep up, and partly because I'm one of the 3 million workers excluded from COVID financial support, so my enthusiasm for obeying rules is long gone. I've been doing my own risk assessments rather than following rules slavishly.

Regardless, after I parked my car and walked away this weekend, I watched a man come out of his house specifically to take a picture of my numberplate I'd driven to exercise at a park, but that's now allowed so I don't know what the Tinpot Hitler is hoping to achieve.

I would only report people who were a consistent direct risk to others, deliberately

Couldn't give a shit about teens meeting friends unless they blocked all the pavements all day. That doesn't happen.
