"Hi everyone, Why people so afraid to meet other people on fabs? It's just can't go forever!!!!" Is this even a serious question?? Or do you live under a rock? We are in a global pandemic and a shag isn’t really worth dying for or putting someone at risk  | |||

We are in a global pandemic and a shag isn’t really worth dying for or putting someone at risk "I think the last bit is the most important. If people were simply putting themselves at risk, I'd say fill your boots. But it's not that simple. Therefore, we all have to factor in how our actions may effect others. You know, not being a self-centered arse... | |||

"Hi everyone, Why people so afraid to meet other people on fabs? It's just can't go forever!!!!" Well all those people wondering why we need a lockdown to continue here is a perfect example of why. Despite all the 24/7 wall to wall coverage, the literally hundreds of thread's, everything has been pretty much shut down for best part of two months and your asking a question like this, clearly the message hasn't sunk in. Let me spell it out for you. You may not be at risk of getting seriously ill,you may never even know if you have it or carrying it you may have had it and recovered. BUT you can still pass it on to other people very very easily. They may not be able to recover from it and possibly die. Those people can also pass it on to other people and so on..... Is this clear enough? | |||

"Because it is against the rules and i do not want reported or a ban. I also work in a care home so no way would i risk bringing the virus into my workplace." Right answer! | |||

"Have you been meeting, OP?" I doubt you will get an honest answer to that. One thing for sure though, anyone reading the original post should be adding the OP to their block list asap. | |||

"Hi everyone, Why people so afraid to meet other people on fabs? It's just can't go forever!!!!" Maybe because it’s an invisible killer and wise to social distance to reduce the risk of infection, even if you don’t value your own life is there not others that you do, that you may pass it on to? better safe than sorry so they say. | |||

"Let's be straight about it, we all know people have been meeting? We joined just before lockdown and have had plenty of offers. We haven't met anyone yet for obvious reasons but we will when the time is right. Dont think it will be long " How do you know people are meeting? | |||

"My opinion is if the hospitals can cope with the next steps they will say you can meet again The reports are getting less detailed now ." I'm seeing "loosening lockdown doesn't mean you're safe, it means there's a bed for you in ICU". I'm staying at home. | |||

"I've been shocked by the number of guys asking to meet lately. Not just a few, but lots. They are part of the reason why the disease is still spreading!" .... and that increased with the announcement of you can meet another person from a different house, except they don’t quite seem to understand that still means two metres apart. Some unfortunately still don’t quite get the basics !  | |||

"We certainly wouldn't meet, however, have you seen the pics of the London underground ? packed in like sardines. Bet if they are on Fab they are meeting "That’s purely those that need to get to work are having to get on a severely reduced service which doesn’t help with social distancing. That is about to change hopefully with more trains/buses being put back into service and a reduced number of people allowed in the station at any time. Somethings just can’t be helped, we don’t all live in the countryside and have the luxury of driving, walking or cycling to work, not everyone has a choice | |||

"Hi everyone, Why people so afraid to meet other people on fabs? It's just can't go forever!!!!" Because there is a global pandemic. Because meeting anyone right now would be totally irresponsible and potentially could kill me or risk me passing the virus on to others & thus possibly killing many. Because it's illegal. Because I value my health and the health of others way more than I want to have sex. I could give many other reasons. As for your "this can't go on forever" comment, actually it could because there may never be a vaccine. It will almost certainly go on for a lot longer if people cannot abide by the rules & behave responsibly. | |||

"Hi everyone, Why people so afraid to meet other people on fabs? It's just can't go forever!!!!" General questions here. If you had an fb or fwb would you have met them before it started. Would you lock down with them where ever you are. could you put up with them for this long | |||

I was running with your theme of old fashioned romance, and meeting people and keeping respectful distancing, shyly and coyly lest you get rapped knuckles from the dour old Auntie watching you. | |||

Honestly, I don't think I would, I'm not saying anyone is right or wrong, but I'll take a 99% recovery rate, and I'm smart enough to know if I catch it, to stay away from other people. But I avoid people with colds never mind corona. Also, I never mentioned 'just for a shag', I love just being around other people never mind that, because my sex life isn't exactly booming right now, i'd rather catch it living my life than be locked down, if it had a much higher death rate then I'd be concerned. I also don't claim to be a hunanitarian either, people die in there thousands everyday, I don't moarn that, and as for family members and loved ones, yes that wouldn't be good, but life would have to go on, doesn't make me wrong either because I think that way, just more realistic in my eyes, I've had this conversation numorous amounts of times with family members, some agree, some don't, but again, I'm not going to get myself worked up over people dieing, with a 99% death rate, it's likely not going to kill the majority of people anyway | |||

"I think the advice for meeting someone that’s not from your household is allowed but as long as you socially distance is the key, so technically you can meet but only for a social, so instead of going for a coffee in a cafe or a drink in a pub you can meet in a park and go for a walk staying 2m apart at all times which allows you to find out about each other and see if there’s an attraction and that could be taken further in the future when things have improved again, quite romantic really Like an invisible chaperone. Not invisible and not a chaperone a person who you might want to get to know in the future as a friend either by social media or physically better but at least you’ve met them and will know if you want to take it further on a reciprocal basis I get that yes, I meant the social distancing rule itself is acting as a chaperone.
Yes if you like but we are allowed to play golf or tennis with another so I don’t think there’s a legal problem
written conversation is difficult isnt it.
I was running with your theme of old fashioned romance, and meeting people and keeping respectful distancing, shyly and coyly lest you get rapped knuckles from the dour old Auntie watching you. "Sorry I missed your train of thought on the brief encounter side of things, but yes I do think it’s romantic to meet like that but this probably isn’t the forum for such things unless Laura Jesson was prone to a spot of flashing beneath the signal box | |||

"Hi everyone, Why people so afraid to meet other people on fabs? It's just can't go forever!!!! Because there is a global pandemic. Because meeting anyone right now would be totally irresponsible and potentially could kill me or risk me passing the virus on to others & thus possibly killing many. Because it's illegal. Because I value my health and the health of others way more than I want to have sex. I could give many other reasons. As for your "this can't go on forever" comment, actually it could because there may never be a vaccine. It will almost certainly go on for a lot longer if people cannot abide by the rules & behave responsibly. If that happens, then my life may as well just stop, singleton that still lives at home that can only go out to the shop and back for nearly 2 years? No chance, my mental health has taken 2 massive dips in this lockdown and while I suffer with depression and anciety normally, this is by far the worst it's been. We need to learn too live with it and still live as normal, not camp out untill a vaccine, that may not work, is developed. Which could take many many years Lockdown certainly cannot go on indefinitely, but social distancing of varying extents could certainly be here for quite some time. I think people need to accept that the 'normal' of before is a long way off. Sorry you have been struggling with your mental health, hopefully as restrictions are eased you will begin to feel a bit better. It is undoubtedly a scary time for everyone, but harder still for those who battle depression & anxiety. X I agree 100% on that, but I do also think that ohysical contact is a huge thing, I do worry about the social aide of things so much, I'm a social butterfly but nothing better than being able to chill with mates/date etc, so I feel there needs to be some form of middle ground and good deal of sence, because I also worry that lockdown could possibly create a bigger pandemic with recession, suicides, unemployment etc, thank you for the concern! Im getting there now but still x Pretty sure that if you got it and passed it on to a loved one etc that would affect your mental health far more! And for what a shag? This is a killer! This isn’t just a flu. This is a global pandemic! You need to think of other ways to keep your mental health in check. And I’m talking from experience I know how hard it can be. But it’s not worth it! Honestly, I don't think I would, I'm not saying anyone is right or wrong, but I'll take a 99% recovery rate, and I'm smart enough to know if I catch it, to stay away from other people. But I avoid people with colds never mind corona.

In my humble opinion no, again, opinion so im aware people will disagree" Errr... it's only at the intial stages of the pandemic did we ever compare the virus to the flu. Now research shows it is nothing like it. If it was, we would have a vaccine- just like we have a flu vaccine. If you still consider the coronavirus to be similar to a flu... your mindset is 100% wrong. It's why people think it's not as big a deal as it is. In fact, it's a very unstable virus. It affects all the organs. Even if you survive it, building evidence shows it has lasting effects. I work in healthcare and it scares me because there isnt much we do known and especially in the UK. It also affects BAME groups because we are the majority of frontline workers. So to me the reality is much darker. I also work in mental health and see daily the affects of social isolation on those with severe mental illness. A lot of services/their routine has been taken away. For us mental health NHS workers, we are awaiting the influx of other healthcare workers who will be coming into our service after covid due to burnout and stress due to pulling the cord off multiple patients in one shift. So yes this is a very real virus. Its surprised many other statistics. The most worry is that it currently appears so unstable. Sadly our society do not know how to consider the health of others because we live a very individualistic lifestyle. -rant over- lol | |||

A vaccine that may never come and if it does might not work?
Go watch the news brainiac "How is that a reasonable response to what I've said? Yes its dangerous, but the news have a huge history of being trustworthy right? The media have even been taking photos of people at different angles to make it look like they are a lot closer than they are, I'm not saying it's not dangerous, but the risk involved with this is comparable to the day to day risks we take everyday, so the whole 'brainiac' comment is just ignorant at best, you're doing nothing to further your argument and in my eyes at least, seem very ignorant to think your way of thinkjng is the only way to go about it | |||

"I think the advice for meeting someone that’s not from your household is allowed but as long as you socially distance is the key, so technically you can meet but only for a social, so instead of going for a coffee in a cafe or a drink in a pub you can meet in a park and go for a walk staying 2m apart at all times which allows you to find out about each other and see if there’s an attraction and that could be taken further in the future when things have improved again, quite romantic really Like an invisible chaperone. Not invisible and not a chaperone a person who you might want to get to know in the future as a friend either by social media or physically better but at least you’ve met them and will know if you want to take it further on a reciprocal basis I get that yes, I meant the social distancing rule itself is acting as a chaperone.
Yes if you like but we are allowed to play golf or tennis with another so I don’t think there’s a legal problem
written conversation is difficult isnt it.
I was running with your theme of old fashioned romance, and meeting people and keeping respectful distancing, shyly and coyly lest you get rapped knuckles from the dour old Auntie watching you.
Sorry, I missed your train of thought regarding the brief encounter side of things though I do think it could be romantic to meet like that. Though this probably isn’t the forum for such things unless Laura Jesson was prone to a spot of flashing underneath the signal box" | |||

"I'm astounded by people who think the risk isn't high. We have one of the highest death rates in the world. More people than died in the Blitz. This isn't a big deal how exactly?" There has also been 16 million people die this year of all other causes other than corona, upwards of 2 million of alcahol posioning, but that's never been a big deal right | |||

"Hi everyone, Why people so afraid to meet other people on fabs? It's just can't go forever!!!! Because there is a global pandemic. Because meeting anyone right now would be totally irresponsible and potentially could kill me or risk me passing the virus on to others & thus possibly killing many. Because it's illegal. Because I value my health and the health of others way more than I want to have sex. I could give many other reasons. As for your "this can't go on forever" comment, actually it could because there may never be a vaccine. It will almost certainly go on for a lot longer if people cannot abide by the rules & behave responsibly. If that happens, then my life may as well just stop, singleton that still lives at home that can only go out to the shop and back for nearly 2 years? No chance, my mental health has taken 2 massive dips in this lockdown and while I suffer with depression and anciety normally, this is by far the worst it's been. We need to learn too live with it and still live as normal, not camp out untill a vaccine, that may not work, is developed. Which could take many many years Lockdown certainly cannot go on indefinitely, but social distancing of varying extents could certainly be here for quite some time. I think people need to accept that the 'normal' of before is a long way off. Sorry you have been struggling with your mental health, hopefully as restrictions are eased you will begin to feel a bit better. It is undoubtedly a scary time for everyone, but harder still for those who battle depression & anxiety. X I agree 100% on that, but I do also think that ohysical contact is a huge thing, I do worry about the social aide of things so much, I'm a social butterfly but nothing better than being able to chill with mates/date etc, so I feel there needs to be some form of middle ground and good deal of sence, because I also worry that lockdown could possibly create a bigger pandemic with recession, suicides, unemployment etc, thank you for the concern! Im getting there now but still x Pretty sure that if you got it and passed it on to a loved one etc that would affect your mental health far more! And for what a shag? This is a killer! This isn’t just a flu. This is a global pandemic! You need to think of other ways to keep your mental health in check. And I’m talking from experience I know how hard it can be. But it’s not worth it! Honestly, I don't think I would, I'm not saying anyone is right or wrong, but I'll take a 99% recovery rate, and I'm smart enough to know if I catch it, to stay away from other people. But I avoid people with colds never mind corona. Also, I never mentioned 'just for a shag', I love just being around other people never mind that, because my sex life isn't exactly booming right now, i'd rather catch it living my life than be locked down, if it had a much higher death rate then I'd be concerned. I also don't claim to be a hunanitarian either, people die in there thousands everyday, I don't moarn that, and as for family members and loved ones, yes that wouldn't be good, but life would have to go on, doesn't make me wrong either because I think that way, just more realistic in my eyes, I've had this conversation numorous amounts of times with family members, some agree, some don't, but again, I'm not going to get myself worked up over people dieing, with a 99% death rate, it's likely not going to kill the majority of people anyway “Just for a shag” as you happened to start a thread on why folk are scared of having meets on fab...not exactly a dating site is it? “Intelligent enough to know if I get it to stay away from people”- stay away from them now!

"And who says no one's bothered by smoking or alcohol related deaths?! The campaigns are... everywhere." Campaigns, but not totally taken off sale, the lockdown has taken the choice away from people, which would be effectivly the same as taking them off sale, there are hand hygene posters and leaflets in every public bathroom around, we know to avoid anyone infectious and we know that there are people infectious around us with respitory infections, but we take precautions around them | |||

"The risks are known about alcohol and smoking. Packing/advertising for both have changed and they are taxed. The public are educated on the risks. There are initiatives to support people in quitting. Covid is not a choice! It lacks evidence and a way to control it. You dont have to be symptomatic to pass it on, plenty of people are carriers of the virus/spread it without knowing. Smoking/alcohol is an informed choice although can be rooted with trauma. Covid is a public health issue because it is spread very easily with/without knowing." You said that much better than me | |||

I certainly do, and society spends a fortune trying to combat it. You might be prepared to take the risk for yourself. But public health with a communicable disease doesn't work like that. You're basically saying I'm willing to take the risk for myself and anyone I happen to encounter. Unfortunately I still have to leave the house once every week or two to get food. And the more people who think like you, the more at risk I am. | |||

There has also been 16 million people die this year of all other causes other than corona, upwards of 2 million of alcahol posioning, but that's never been a big deal right You can't catch alcohol poisoning by fucking someone right now.
No but if you catch it, you're less likely to die than drinking yourself stupid every night, yet I can still go and get wankered in my room every night and people are actively encouriging having a drink, I find the whole thing very hypocricticle to suggest that you should avoid all human contact yet, drink all you like, smoke all you like and no one bats an eye lid, strikes me as selective humanitranism, yes this is dangerous but the figures dictate to me not as dangerous as it's made out to be, again, as I've stated through out, all an opinion
... I don't need to be told that smoking and excessive alcohol consumption is bad for me.
Because public health measures and education have made me realise this since I was a child.
Yeah exactly, we know its bad, but alcahol and cigarettes are still sold, there not completly banned and are consumed regularly on a daily basis, but the amount of people that die due to those effects are so much larger than covid 19, even through the epidemic, but why are we not bothered about the deaths from alcahol and smoking related things? Yeah I realise you can catch this, but with regular hand washing and basic hygiene you can avoid this, I'm aware certain people don't have that level of common sense to keep themselves clean etc, but I also think we underestimate people a lot
I can see where you are going with this, I dont think its that people dont care about deaths from other things, but in general we know the causes and risks and chose to accept them or not. The virus is more of an unknown risk at the moment just to quite how it behaves or makes us ill, and can be caught whether we choose it or not. Best to be a bit more cautious with it.
See that I can 100% understand, and do agree with to some extent, but the issue I have is that the sale of alcahol and cigarettes is still allowed, yet the choice of being able to meet people etc isn't, I appreciate that a lot of people wouldn't make that choice, but being sensible and using some modicome of common sence I think it is possible"You can't catch alcohol poisoning! | |||

"When this started, before lockdown, there were images showing how cutting social interaction by 75% could mean that a Covid sufferer could lower transmission within 30 days. From 30 people to one. I might not be high risk, but one of those 30 might be. Or the people they spread it to. So I keep my potentially disease vector arse at home." "Disease vector arse" | |||

You can't catch alcohol poisoning!"Yeah but thats also missing my point entierly, there is campaigns for an awful lot.of things, but never gets to the point that things get banned or we get told we're not allowed too do those things like drink and smoke, its a choice, this isn't, and the point about others being at risk, I'll say this, I'm talking about 1 on 1 situations, i'm not about to walk into lidl and lick everything, this the exact issue, using the knowledge we have there are many ways we could be sensible, by meeting individuals, obviosuly if someone is showing signs they are infected, covid 19 or anything else, I stay away, if not it should be my choice I think, as it should be your choice to stay at home, that's your call but I'm leaving on this, at a 99% recovery rate I'm more that likely to recover from this, side effects and other things aside, because yeah it could have an effect but I'm still going to live, I'd be more likely to die from a car crash, and if people are acting like they don't want to catch it, I.E. washing your hands regularly, using sanitisers, not trying to hug and hold hands with everyone you see and making sure you're sensible enough to avoid people that show symptoms, likelyhood is you'll be ok, butagain, opinions, thats all it is, so I'm bowing out now because we seem to be going in circles and it's clear we're not going to come to any form of end or agreement | |||

"Hi everyone, Why people so afraid to meet other people on fabs? It's just can't go forever!!!! It won't go on forever, as soon as the government lifts the lockdown then people will start to get back to normal. Cal" I can't work out if the OP is just a joke question. But. When the lockdown is lifted is when the dangers will increase because people will believe it's safe to do things. Shopping today the number of people wearing PPE and NOT following the 2m distancing amazed me. Watch for a few more spikes by the end of this year. | |||

All the carparks with Pat nobody social distancing, yet the locals , we've been so careful !!! Queueing patiently, been pleasant and polite to all the staff in town folk !!! In my opinion he is given in to press pressure and ease the lockdown too soon !!! | |||

" I havent read all of the comments, but I do find some of the comments extraordinary. Most sensible comments address the logic behind what's happening,but to ask why people are afraid? This isnt about being afraid, its following guidelines and scientific advice. At a time where rightly or wrongly, Wales and Scotland have different regulations, its perplexing to see an influx of tourists wandering around my area on holiday with complete abandon. You've been asked to do something for a reason. Its difficult but not that hard! So if struggling to cope with not meeting on Fab for awhile is an issue, you really need to have a word with yourself!!" Exactly ! | |||

"Why the hell do people need 'rules' to decide that their health and that of their families are important ! Some of the people in London over the weekend were saying the virus was a 'fake' and that it didn't exist and that it was a way that the tories were trying to control us. I have no affiliation to the tory party, never have had never will have, but try telling the families of the 31000+ dead that the virus is a fake. why the hell do you think people are not meeting, for me its not the rules its common sense (not something I have often I admit) but for now people stay safe and keep your loved ones as safe as you can xxx " | |||
