To wonder why people are still breaking covid rules?

I was outside earlier and I heard my neighbours son ask his dad if he could go to the shop, his dad said he didn't know as they're isolating and the boy told him he feels fine now and his dad let him go!

He’d be coming into contact with the cashier and other people in the shop, potentially vulnerable people.

Aibu to wonder why people still don't get it? In July 2021!

@ICECream821

My youngest is isolating due to a positive case in his bubble.
The school have now requested PCRs from my older two children who are asymptomatic.
I have refused.

Sorry…. I don’t mean asymptomatic. I simply meant they are currently not displaying any symptoms of coronavirus. Therefore I am unwilling to test them.

They're being broken as they make absolutely no sense whatsoever.

We current have 5 adults in the house. One had a positive lateral flow yesterday - so we're officially in 10 days isolation unless the PCR comes back negative.

Obviously, the one with the positive lateral flow is going nowhere.

However, two of the others have been told by their employers that they're in a scheme and to go in and take lateral flows at work and if negative can stay. If they're positive they then have to travel back home on public transport.

Meanwhile one adult works from home and the other's employer is not in a 'scheme' and have been told to fully isolate.

So two can take lateral flows and be free to work, shop, etc, whereas the other two are not allowed out. We're all in exactly the same situation - it makes no sense.
