So ten months into a pandemic- whether you agree with the harshness of the rules or not- I think most people would agree that the average person is likely to struggle with lockdown fatigue and wavering compliance.
So my question is, do you judge people for minor rule breaks? ie:
- someone seeing their partner who lives in another household, indoors (whether this be for mental health, or the fact most adult romantic relationships require physical contact)
- parents visiting uni students in halls
- grown adults visiting elderly parents who are lonely and isolated
If you think about it, if you live in some places up North, it's been illegal to see your partner who you don't live with for six months, providing you're not in a support bubble. And I know you can see people outdoors, but that's not conducive to a normal relationship. Or, in the case of the elderly, not healthy or comfortable.
So would you judge people for the above rule breaks, if it was genuinely they only tine they mixed with another household? And there is no support bubble?
This thread is mostly pointless, however I am simply wondering if anyone else is finding it hard now!
The above scenarios are all ones I know people in real life have done and I do not judge them. Apart from that, they wear masks, limit contact and mostly WFH.
