Did you wait to hug your loved ones until it was govt permitted?

I'm just curious really. The govt permitted hugs on May 17th I think. Did you wait until then to hug family and friends?

Nope

No. The government doesn’t have the right to tell me when I can hug my friends and family the fact that some people think they do scares the shit out of me!

No, of course not.

No. I hugged long before then. Looking back, it is utter madness that I let the government dictate such an intimate detail of my life.

Nope. I did what I needed to do for the sake of my mental health and that of my family. If that meant hugging a family member in distress who badly needed a hug, well that's what I was going to do.

I have always hugged my DD when I meet up with her. I am still not hugging my mum as she is very high risk. Happy that I can spend time with her but would still prefer that I am not going to pass anything to her.

Ha. No.

Yes, as it was not just about me , it was about protecting them..

Nope.

Absolutely not

Nope!

No

I pick and choose who I hug and will continue to do so until this pandemic is over. I keep my distance from my CEV family and friends and only hug those people I see very rarely.

Still not hugging or touching beyond my bubble.

Only hug people in same household so it was never an issue really.

I’d want to keep anyone safe though so have followed the rules.

Of course not!

Nope.

No, of course not! It was utter bollocks right from the word go.

If I had paid attention to such shit then I would probably never have seen or hugged my lovely Dad again before he died after the worsening of his non-covid related medical condition.

I really can hardly believe that we ever got into a situation where a government was actually issuing guidance and legislation (maybe it was just guidance) on whether or not to hug. Utterly ridiculous.

Sorry but who actually in their right minds needs to be told by the government when it’s ok to hug or touch their loved ones? I mean seriously?! Are these the same people that need to be instructed that a bag of KP nuts contain nuts??

No. It was never illegal and so never a right to be restored. Ill advised, against guidance, whatever, but never illegal.

Yes.

Absolutely not. Life is far too short and thankfully COVID has a very very low mortality rate.

My wonderful Dad died suddenly in November (not COVID related). I am so very glad I didn’t miss out on those months which we didn’t know were our last together.

Really. Of course not!

Of course not.

No.
