Let's be truthfully honest !!! no judging,no bitchyness ,no arguments
a simple yes or no will do

1-Have you or your children started hugging your family members yet ?
2- Have you been inside someone's house?
Do you wear masks still and keep your distance if you are doing either of these?

Haven't hugged anyone but that's nothing to do with covid, my best friend has come round for dinner 3x in the last month.
We're both vaccinated.

I work it's hundreds of different customers everyday. If I can do that I can hug my mum.

I'm not doing this anymore.

1 - NO

2- NO

Yes and yes. Not everyone I used to hug, but some of my friends and all my family, whenever I’ve been able to see them. No masks at all, but then we’re all fairly healthy and young, and not scared of catching Covid at all.

Having people over is allowed where I live, so I haven’t actually broken any rules by doing that. There are a few people I’m dying to hug but won’t be able to do so until they feel comfortable about it too. I can’t wait, it’s been so long 😭

1-Have you or your children started hugging your family members yet ?

I hugged my parents when I saw them and DHs Mum when her dog died
2- Have you been inside someone's house?

Just my parents hotel which we visited at Easter. At friends houses we are still staying in gardens.

Yes. Since last summer, with select friends.

sleepwouldbenice. I believe 30 something million have now had at least 1 jab. There were 2000 ish cases confirmed today and 4 people died. What balance do you want? Honestly? There will never ever be zero covid. Better treatments, less dangerous reactions due to vaccs will (already have) brought death rates down to a negligible level - we have to deal with this at a statistical level, not a personal one, (on which obviously even one death is too much) but we can't operate like that forever - at least, society at large and the economy can't. I suspect and fear that there will be some who never recover their confidence to resume normality.

Perfectly aware of all this thanks. ....... Work with people who deal with the consequences though in all aspects of medical care, and I am more than ontop of the relevant stats thanks I am cautiously optimistic about the future actually and hope we will reach that tipping point soon. I am enjoying meeting friends and going to the pub so no lockdown lover crap either I just think it will be a Rocky road over the next months. Hopefully only that long

Went to the toilet at my mum's. Hugged her when I left. Briefly. Because I'm human.

Aaah so people who don’t hug aren’t human now....

No
and
No

Due my 2nd jab on Friday, won't be hugging or visiting anyone until the rules change.

No and no!

1. Because it's still illegal for me to travel to see them!
2. Only my extended household friend's house

Did both of the above last summer when it was briefly allowed. My nephews hug my parents, they're too small to keep them apart.

I haven’t been in anyone’s home since last Summer. My Dh works in up to 10 homes a day.
I haven’t hugged anyone outside of my home since late summer last year. Ds played in someone’s garden at the weekend and they apparently ran to get toys from his friend’s bedroom. His mum said that was ok as they are in a bubble at school. I’m not sure if that is true but at this point, I have been so strict that one whizz into a house doesn’t bother me.
Ds’ friends all seem to be going on sleepovers.

Altho my secondment to ICU has ended and I’m back to my day job we still have Covid patients so no. I don’t and I probably won’t until direct relatives are vaccinated.

I was never a hugs person pre-covid and that remains the case.

Yes, I have been in someone's house and others have been in mine.

No and no.

My dad is in our extended household, so that's a positive. He's had both jags, while dh and I have only had the 1st jag (but 4 and 3 weeks ago respectively).

We're still continuing to adhere to the guidelines.

1 - No
2 - Briefly through a house to access a rear garden with no external access

No and No. I've gone this long, I'm sure I can wait a bit longer.
