Is anyone else frustrated at the lack of social distancing?

[FirstTimer2020]

I am really trying to not be frustrated about the lack of distancing because obviously people can do what they want. However, I am getting concerned about how many people are putting up pictures of them with other people on a daily basis, usually hugging and posing for photos. Some of the people even work in settings where they have to get quite close to members of the general public and that really irritates me and I feel like it's selfish behaviour. Anyone else? I feel like I'm the only person in my area following the rules!

The problem is, it's hard to social distance when people cross your path too closely in shops or, like I experienced today, walk past the back of us closely in a large spaced out family group whilst we were waiting at a road crossing! They brushed against my sons back and we couldn't distance. The path was wide, they just needed to single file a little or wait for other people to pass leaving more space for them instead of bottle necking.

Yes it annoyed me at first, but now I'm actively ignoring it and avoiding seeing it. Hardly on social media and purposefully don't go to areas that may get crowded (shop online). If it pisses you off try to avoid it and focus on the things you like.

My DD pointed out a busy beer garden when we were driving home after a day out. She was surprised at how many were squashed in. I pointed out that we'd had a great family day out, picnic, football, kite etc. by just driving 20 minutes and walking to quiet area. I'm not going to worry about people who don't care.

For those who feel its their right to ignore cocial distancing would you also send your child to school with peanut dust (on purpose) all over their school stuff even knowing that their is a child with an allergy inclass?. After all isnt that you god given right as a human too?
Because this is the same risk you give to your peers and neighbours every time you push past someone or walk up to their face. Or sneeze into the shopping shelves.
The difference is with peanuts you risk possible one or two people in class with allergy. With covid anyone you meet or they meet has the potential to catch this virus from you and you have the same risk of catching it from them.
Wearing a mask reduces risks for everyone. Keeping your distance reduces risk for everyone. Staying home if you or your regular contacta develop symptoms reduces the risk for everyone.
Yes their is still a risk lofe cannnot be risk free, but the risk is less.

If you want to socialize do so within the vary lax UK rules which allo this. Do not flout the rules and do wjat the hell you like. Other countries lockdown has been strickter and more robust and masks have been a feature for longer.

If you're a parent and you get divorced, it's quite frequent to have disputes with the other parent over childcare.

The advice there is the same as here - you cannot influence or change what the other person does, and it's not in your interests (either from an absolute or psychological standpoint).

The best thing to do is to try to ignore it and choose your own decisions independently.

This is the 'down' phase and community spread isn't really happening, apart from a few hotspots. If you live there, yeah it's unreasonable. Otherwise, enjoy the summer within reason. A few hugs between friends and family is within reason, in my personal opinion. Staying in crowded indoor areas like pubs isn't, in my opinion. Going to supermarkets in masks - soon to be mandatory. Going to the gym in masks - not. I wouldn't trust this government to organise my children's birthday parties, never mind control a pandemic. You do your rules, I'll do mine.

I can understand you getting wound up if you let it wind you up, but it's impossible to control what others do.

You can only do what you feel is best.
