Are people planning to social distance when they see family and friends this week?

[Swoonforpeterbishop]

I am seeing so many people saying they are excited to hug their mum etc this week now that the stay at home is going to be lifted and it made me wonder how many people are planning to abide by the rules?

It seems to be taken as a bit of a free for all

It’s making me a bit sad as we’ve really stuck to the rules and ended up missing out on Christmas etc and other plans as lockdowns were introduced due to the spike and I know for a fact a lot of people weren’t sticking to the rules so have happily seen family and friends etc
I’m sick of missing out on seeing loved ones

I have to admit it’s making me wonder if the fuck it attitude is worth it to see the in laws who we haven’t seen in over a year

What are you planning on doing? Not being goady, not going to have a go whatever people say I’m just curious to see if we are among the few who were planning to socially distance inside still?

No. Will meet friends and family indoor and won’t be social distancing (but won’t be hugging).

We'll be seeing friends and family outdoors and social distancing to some extent (ie not sticking rigidly to 2 metres but no hugging).

All adults vaccinated. Stayed outside 90% time, retreated to conservatory with open doors when it got cold. Hugged nieces, not sister. Kept reasonable distance but not overly fussed. We'd all done lateral flow tests before travelling. In my mind it's not going to get any safer than this and I'm sick of being told the vaccine is/isn't effective depending on what policy they promoting on a certain week. We've been cautious throughout but seriously life is for living (two good friends had awful diagnoses in recent weeks).

We'll be seeing friends and family outdoors (rule of 6). No hugging but I'm sure we won't stay strictly 2 metres apart at all times...

@kittensarecute restrictions end in June at the earliest, depending on the roadmap conditions being met.

I met up with my family today at a beauty spot for a picnic so outdoors the whole time

LFT negative for everyone before setting off (I know it's not completely accurate but it's something)

All adults vaccinated. Myself and my dad are well past 2 doses so should be 90% chance we are immune. DH and I have also already had COVID so very good chance he is immune.

We let the kids play together unrestricted and yes I did hug my dad and my dsis. The last time I saw them was at my mums funeral. It's been a really rough time for us all and I needed those hugs. It was worth whatever small risk it was for me. I haven't had such a good day for a really long time.

All vaccinated here. Will we be sitting outside in the freezing cold. FUCK NO

Went to see Mum yesterday, drove 100 miles, sat indoors and hugged.

She's vaccinated, DH is vaccinated, I'm only 1 week post vaccine but I refuse to listen to some stupid "law" that says its illegal to visit and hug my own bloody mother!!!!
