Would you change how you are acting if rules were dropped tomorrow?

As in Covid still as it is now, would you change your actions?

Personally I'd risk assess everything. I might actually get to see my mum who lives too far away to meet half way but other than that I cant see much changing for me. I'm not vulnerable at all but I wouldnt want to be the cause of the spread any further. Or maybe I'd leave it two weeks between seeing different friends just in case but maybe I'd risk the odd cafe trip with friends....just a musing really. I wondered if others would do the same?

Why 6 months @daisychain01

If there was no test and trace/self isolation rule I'd go into cafes and restaurants more often instead of getting takeaway, and probably meet a friend there once a week or so. Tbh at that point my life would be pretty much back to normal anyway!

Only difference I’d make is I’d let my son see kids that are in his bubble more. They’re together all day in school so can’t see them playing outdoors in the garden being an extra risk to anyone

Well I’d go to work, I’m currently not allowed to...

Yes, I'd stop wearing masks (except some venues might 'request' wearing of them without being able to enforce it, but they have the right not to let you in, so I suppose I might have to continue there).

I wouldn't see friends, I don't have any close ones who I'm missing anyway. I might mix with family, but they're overly cautious so they might not want to meet up.

I'm still going to lots of indoor venues now, like museums and soft play with my dd (in Tier 2), so most of our daily life would be the same. If rules were relaxed then hopefully a lot of activities which were stopped could start up again. But it wouldn't be my choice, it would be down to the venue/organiser. We'd probably take more UK breaks as I'd be in less fear of last minute cancellations. But I still wouldn't travel abroad, as it's the quarantine (in the overseas country) and risk of last minute changes that puts me off.

Why 6 months *@daisychain01*

Sorry 5 months and 29 days then.

It's a random amount of time, to respond to a pretty meaningless question. I'd continue to take the same approach as I am now, risk assess everything and take a view at my local level how this global pandemic will play out where I live. I'll continue taking it seriously which far too many people aren't, by the looks of the photos in all the papers and online. What other people choose to do is up to them.

Yes! Shopping, restaurants, gigs, travelling, anything legal. Friends over, how lovely would that be?

Masks straight in the bin.

Yes. I’d be even more careful as the risks would increase as people who were only following the rules because they were told to would stop taking precautionary measures.

We got more careful at the end of the first lockdown.

I would bin my mask and book a holiday somewhere warm and be looking forward to going to a gig. We don't have many visitors anyway so that probably wouldn't change.

I would probably take my kids out of school as it'd be carnage pretty quickly because so many people would ditch the masks and start socialising indoors again, rates would soon be very high.

Sadly the people who take the risks aren't the only ones who catch it, if they were I would be quite happy to let them get ill if that's their choice. But they spread it to staff/colleagues etc.

I'd go back to normal, altho to be honest I already meet people inside as it's too cold. I would pray people don't go back to normal with random hugging as I hate being touched though

I'd take my mum out for dinner for her birthday and go and sit inside a pub with my friends.

Oh and we’d fly to Spain to see the in laws as we haven’t seen them for a year.

Presumably if restrictions were dropped tomorrow there'd have been some sort of development that made it possible. I'd listen to that. I'm not going to inflict more of this on myself without reason.
