Why not to meet now ?? What it would make difference to the virus ?? Corona is here to stay for a while so if there is lock down or not it make no difference.
Im not having a go on any one here im stayin put myself. All i want to see what people think as seeing all them status when the lock down in over there will be loads of action. They might be but it will make no difference to corona..... is that make sense ?? |

Yes I would... it's not going away and I have plenty of friends to meet. As I'd have to totally change the way I play. It would lift my mood greatly and release some tension.
Although had a good drive out today so feeling somewhat cheered up but it's only almost as good as sex  |

No, not until a time when social distancing is relaxed somewhat, people start going back to work and I know whether or not I may have had the virus or not, lots of different things to consider before I start meeting again. |

I think the op was meaning I'd the social distancing was relaxed...

I don’t expect social distancing will be relaxed in a significant way any time soon and if we do get to the end of this three week stretch and it is then I would still be holding off to see how things go for a while. |

I might meet with one or two trusted friends.
Can't see myself meeting strangers for probably some months, will depend largely on what happens with the vaccine. For me, casual sex just isn't really worth the risk.

I'm expecting them the relax some areas next big announcement. About mixing with other households or partners able to meet up.x as it's been one of the big parts warned about the impending psychological struggles the nation will have. As one of the biggest issues was families having to stay at two separate houses or non cohabiting couples being able to see each other.. this is being considered. |

I agree about social distancing. But surely we cant leave in social distancing / not meeting up in general / goin out till we find vaccination. People will stay put as we are told now but we wont be able to stay like that for long period ... |

"yes why not"
Are you not at all concerned that a play partner, fb etc may not want to be fully truthful as what they thought they had a couple of days ago was 'minimal' in relation to how others have described the virus's impact?

I don't think the restrictions that we currently have will last much more than another couple of weeks and things will be relaxed gradually but there will still be some element of social distancing for months to come. |

Sadly people are still meeting despite all this, we're considering just camming from now on anyway, only meet a couple of friends we trust occasionally. The quality of what's on offer these days is dismal, x |

The virus is here forever. I don’t need to meet so it isn’t something that features in my life. I think it is far too early to be changing anything so for now I will stay as I am. |

It is a very tough call this .. well for anyone single it is ! let be honest marrieds/ partnerships they have at least some physical contact each day sexual or otherwise .. single people have none at all and worryingly are not predicted to have much chance of that in the future either ! .. the strange thing is that there will be some who will run the risk and meet and it may cost them their lives but it is arguably far better than a fairly sanitised lack of human contact and affection kind of existence .. so in my case yes it may come to that and I would be doing something unwise maybe ? I would accept the consequences though if they came .. A reality check is needed . people can not be expected to be isolated and alone for another 6 or even 12 months .. My feelings are that a life without being able to have some form of 'living it' i.e human contact , hugs, embraces, physical touch etc is not living properly .. even a basig 'hug' is now not permitted unless you are partnered with someone .. Imagine how that must feel if you are currently single and not allowed to do that ? or even shake hands with a friend ?
I argue a life without being able to feel alive is not a life at all ! and so is not anything you want to really preserve in anyway .. no point in it is there .. I predict one way or another most singles wont make it through the other side of this if they can not have human contact Most , like me if it comes to it will accept the consequences of breaking whatever rules people try to enforce on us. when we are allowed to leave our homes and rejoin the world again will we really want to be a part of what this new world looks like ? I have my doubts . :/

I'm really unsure as to where "trust" comes into this, this isn't like STDs where you can get to know a person and get a feeling of whether or not they're responsible with their sexual health, someone you "trust" can catch this at work or shopping the day before you have sex with them without knowing it or doing anything irresponsible. If people think avoiding casual sex is going to protect them from this, are they avoiding all contact with other people? Not hugging friends or family? Not going anywhere that's going to get crowded? Not going on public transport? For how long? |

Is there a problem playing with old friends who have also been in lock down for weeks, where everybody involved KNOWS that the other people don't have the virus?
Isn't it meeting new people that's fraught with danger?
Just asking for clarification! |

Yes. Unless they and everyone they live with, and you and everyone you live with have not been out at all in the last two weeks at least. Going out anywhere means you might have picked it up, it has a long incubation period, and asymptomatic transmission happens.
You don't know you don't have the virus. |

I'm treating this almost entirely like lockdown (2-3 exercise trips a week, 1-2 grocery or medicine trips a week, all socially distant) and I treat myself as a danger to others. Just in case. |

Clearly Co19 arrived in the UK early on, whilst the government were busy ignoring it, so doubtless it will linger. (consider the influenza pandemic of 1918-20)
Is this in itself a reason not to meet people ever again? Certainly not. Wait a few weeks longer? Perhaps. Exercise greater personal hygiene in the wider world? Absolutely. |

I don't drive, I live alone, I can only buy what I can carry, so no, I have not been in total lockdown, I am working from home but I combine my exercise and shopping every 2 days! So when do you deem I will be safe to meet?
The answer is 'who knows' at this moment in time!
Would you feel safe to meet me knowing all of that? I would guess no, even though I have no current symptoms! |

No. I wouldn't. If you're going out at all anywhere you're a risk.
At some stage we're going to have to take that risk, but that's not now. |

Nah.....this whole virus thing has killed it for me.
Might go back to meets in 14 months time.
By then we'll probably have Covid-20 or some other spanner of a desease to spoil everyones fun. Or still dealing with the aftermath of this one even.

Obviously this is just one data point, but might let you see the issue:
I was potentially exposed to CV via a colleague who went to a conference in which someone tested positive. Both my colleague and I went into isolation. This was first week of March. Before any lockdown. Schools still open. Workplaces still full etc.
He never had any symptoms. I had bit of a sore throat, but then my daughter had come home from school with a bit of a cough so put it down to that.
All that time I had been sleeping downstairs away from my wife. We had been taking precautions as I’m asthmatic and so at risk. My wife, who uses a mobility scooter due to disability, went to the supermarket twice. Took precautions. Used hand sanitiser etc.
She came down with (suspected) CV19. She had a fever, cough, shortness of breath. The fever lasted nearly two weeks. Now four weeks later she is still short of breath doing the smallest task. I am still sleeping downstairs.
So we were fully aware. We were taking it seriously. We had acted early on. We had taken precautions. And yet still, my wife managed to catch it. We still don’t know how, but could just have been someone she passed in the supermarket (no explicit social distancing in effect then). Or a door handle she touched or a shopping basket.
So all I’m saying, is please be careful. You don’t *know* if someone has it as they don’t know themselves necessarily. Not until we have accessible and regular testing. And even then there is still a risk.

Until the scientific evidence is a lot more clearer how does any of us not yet tested know if we are asymptomatic and how long for?
There's been a lot of supposition that 'I, we or so and so' must have had it as there was that really bad virus doing the rounds before and after the Christmas period..
A 13 Yr old lost their life locally to it, schools were shut. We both had something which required antibiotics after the break in fact Lynn had her first ever chest infection from it..
But we do not believe it to have been covid..
