Covid has just been forgotten about then?

[washthem]

My in-laws are acting like it's all disappeared over night.

Travelling to london, going out for lunches and dinners in people's houses etc.

They're vaccinated now so I suppose they don't mind.

They've all but invited themselves around to ours in a couple of weeks time!

And?

Well they’re totally fine to travel to London for day trips. ‘London’ isn’t the epicentre of covid you know. It’s not dangerous to come here.

And yeah they’re supposed to be meeting outside. But lots of people are letting loose now. I’ve seen my mum and dad outside, but my FIL inside because we went for Sunday lunch yesterday, not seen him for six months. He’s been vaccinated, he invited us, and we decided we were going to do it.

What I mean is, I’m not getting up on arms about people seeing family inside when next Monday, I could go and get my hair done, nails done then go around every shop I fancied 🤷🏻‍♀️

There's nothing wrong with any of what they are doing. Would you rather they sat at home watching TV and doing crossword puzzles?

If you don't want them to come round be a grown up and say no.

They’ve been vaccinated! The government are delusional if they think people who have been vaccinated are going to stay locked up forever...they are obviously trying, insert warnings about new variants, not being 100% effective, not knowing how long the vaccine is effective for, blah blah blah.

Good for them, I’d personally like to see more people cracking on.

@Sargass0

And?

Just tell them no, you’re sticking to the rules. Outside only currently and the advice or law hasn’t made any exceptions for the vaccinated.

They're idiots OP. I'd tell them absolutely not. They are not permitted to be in your house and you have no intention of allowing it.

YOU can stick to the rules OP, no one is forcing you to have them round.

FFS we couldn’t forget about Covid if we tried. Specially not when people like you keep starting threads about RULE BREAKERS

Good for them, people have to live their lives at some point

Good for them, I’d personally like to see more people cracking on

Lots of people are in my circles and I'm fucking glad!

Good for them

I think some people are worried that there may actually be an end in sight and they will have nothing to occupy themselves or post threads about anymore tbh.

this sort of shit really needs to stop.

I get that the rules were in place for a reason but I have seen the other end of the scope because of the level of fear the government/media/the internet instilled in some people over this virus and frankly, its despicable. My uncle was crying 2 days ago when my dad asked him to meet up in the park with my younger sisters and his 3 sons. full on crying because he couldnt do it as he is so scared his 3 boys are going to be the rare cases of children who are going to get really really sick from it. we listened to him and gently tried pointing out the risks that we have contended with all our lives from so many other things but he couldnt be reasoned with. those 3 boys have barely left the house in over a year and are not in school.

my point being, I would rather see people getting back to normal then see people like my uncle. it's not surprising is it with it constantly in your face and then some people loving jumping on the rule breaker chastising band wagon.

just give it a fucking rest will you.

Not forgotten, just totally had enough of it now. You do what you want, and let others do them same. If you don't want them to visit, just say so.

Nobody is seemingly following the rules and yes, the numbers are still dropping. Can’t get worked up about it. It’s been over a year - people need to start living again.

Going to London! So reckless 😂😂😂

They are not complying but as they are vaccinated I assume they are assessing risk and making decisions accordingly.

*yet

Good for them.

Good for them! Its high time people started living their lives properly again. Too many people living in a bubble of covid fear, it's not healthy. The more people that get back to reality the better, and if the vaccines help them to do that then that's just another benefit of vaccines.

I am very happy to see the tide is turning in respect of responses on here though, a few months ago this would have been full already of people shouting about what selfish fuckwits they were and how you should go no contact for the rest of your lives.

If they are vaccinated and wear masks then I don't see the problem?

Didn't Matt Hancock say he was travelling from London to Suffolk recently?

This short clip explains why the governments are desperately trying to hold people back. Not because of risk but because of the ‘quote - “carrot” needed to ensure the whole population gets the vaccine, vulnerable or not.

If you don't want them in your house then tell them.

I was talking to my parents last week, who are in their 70s. They were saying that a year in anyone's life has felt like a long time but at their age missing out on their grandchildren, as well as their children, a year is a really long time when they don't have many years left. They've stuck to all the rules, but dad is now having treatment for prostate cancer and they're desperate to get living again. I get that. So many others feel this way and are now taking a risk based approach. I would assume that those they're visiting are also vaccinated.

No not forgotten about, just people living alongside it.
