"I think everyone is trying to cram in all the fun before it becomes marital law" But it already is really and the longer people ignore it the longer it will have to last Enjoy the freedom we have left, still being able to go for walks outside etc because it could all stop soon if people don’t respect the basic rules | |||

"I know social spacing. ^" You do Jim I hadn’t seen my son for 10 days, surprised outside school yesterday, a split second hug and then we naturally backed away | |||

"I am blocking anyone that's stupid enough to message and ask. I would never want to be in contact with people that have so little concern right now Agreed " Doubley agreed. It's insensitive and potentially dangerous. The community needs to come together, but not littetally, right now. | |||

"I am blocking anyone that's stupid enough to message and ask. I would never want to be in contact with people that have so little concern right now Agreed Doubley agreed. It's insensitive and potentially dangerous. The community needs to come together, but not littetally, right now." We are all going to miss the basic human interaction of socialising with friends, family etc as it’s part of our nature to interact. Are people that desperate for sex that they’d risk the lives of their loved ones and others for a bunk up ? It really is not worth it.... you’ve got two hands make use of them on yourself not others ! | |||

"People meeting 1 on 1 isn't the larger issue it's group gatherings where 1 sick individual can infect the masses. Someone sneezing or coughing in a room full of people each and everyone of them is breathing the same air and the droplets linger in the air. Need I point out what vaping looks like with those tiny droplets? It will only take 1 person who is contagious with covid19 to infect each and every one of them just by everyone breathing. The larger the group to bigger the spread. Stopping individuals seeing each other won't prevent it, when you go shopping youre in contact with every surface and people walking around the store. So why do people judge so much about individuals meeting. Do you not realise some people have absolutely no one? No friends outside of fab? No family who care? Some people like myself are already isolated. If someone's sick I'm sure they won't meet I'd hope they were responsible with that at least. If you are so appalled by individuals meeting I suggest you not leave the house at all and seal your windows and doors. Dont leave the house to do your shopping, don't order takeaway because they have contact with your food, they bring it to your door they touch and breathe all over the packaging, don't see any person related or not. Because you don't want to be a hypocrite now would you? You can't be angry at someone when you haven't completely isolated yourself." If I could completely isolate myself I would. The only time I leave the house is to get food, now I have enough for a week I don’t need to venture out again. If I could have it delivered I would but that’s a three week wait here for the first available slot. Even going food shopping you can follow the basic rules, keep your distance, sanitise your hands before and after shopping, wear a scarf or alike around your mouth. Our store is enormous but only 15 people allowed in at one time. Yes so many are on their own, myself included. That would still not make me meet someone that wasn’t already part of my household or close friends. You can talk to people on here or other sites without physically having to meet them. The risk is still there in one to one contact, are you the only person they are meeting ? You could have the virus and no symptoms You all make your own choices but this will just go on even longer if people can’t follow basic simple rules ! It’s going to be tough for all, but it has to be done. This isn’t going anywhere soon | |||

But judging others who aren't having mass orgies? Begrudging someone 1 on 1 contact, its no different than going shopping you have contact with the person on the till who will have contact with 100s in a day. If you use the self checkout you have contact with something 100s use a day. Even if it's sanitised often the person before you breathed all over it. Stop and think before you make judgement. Mass infection is what's to be avoided and individual infection is extremely difficult to avoid not matter how much you limit social contact. If you go shopping or see your close friends and family then that makes you a hypocrite that's all I'm saying. | |||

Over the fact I see no family or friends outside of this life? They are my closest friends, but go ahead and judge. Im not the one being a hypocrite. Human contact is a necessity especially for me but thanks for considering mental health you've done a great job, marvelous, absolutely astounding consideration. I feel sadness for people just like me because isolation is going to hit us the hardest and no one's going to know if the worst should happen. Weeks and months before anyone realises that they don't exist any more. Because no one cares enough to visit. Be thankful you have family and close friends. You have a social network who cares. The ripple effect is inevitable and manageable. Im one of the high risk but I have to consider my mental health and risk of the virus, if you were in my position I doubt you'd judge the same. | |||

Yes I have family and friends, do they live anywhere near me no. Even if they did we wouldn’t be meeting up as it’s the right thing to do at this time. Isolation is hard on all, especially those that live on their own and guess what I’m one of those people to. Of course I’m going to miss human interaction but it’s not a necessity, living is I take my responsibilities as human being and what is right for all people other than my own needs. Your FWBs you’ve known a long time can talk on the phone or video call, you don’t need to meet in person As for your last paragraph, it just dumbfounds me even more, but you’ve made your choice and here’s hoping your actions don’t need one of those nhs beds ! We are two very different people in our thinking and actions | |||

"Can't believe people are still wanting meets with strangers. Since when was sex more important than saving peoples lives? "For some selfish individuals their needs will always come first, however putting others lives at risk for a fuck with a stranger takes it to a new level. We have received quite a few meet requests from total strangers in the last 2 days. Selfish and desperate beyond belief. | |||

So why do people judge so much about individuals meeting. Do you not realise some people have absolutely no one? No friends outside of fab? No family who care? Some people like myself are already isolated. If someone's sick I'm sure they won't meet I'd hope they were responsible with that at least. If you are so appalled by individuals meeting I suggest you not leave the house at all and seal your windows and doors. Dont leave the house to do your shopping, don't order takeaway because they have contact with your food, they bring it to your door they touch and breathe all over the packaging, don't see any person related or not. Because you don't want to be a hypocrite now would you? You can't be angry at someone when you haven't completely isolated yourself. If I could completely isolate myself I would. The only time I leave the house is to get food, now I have enough for a week I don’t need to venture out again. If I could have it delivered I would but that’s a three week wait here for the first available slot. Even going food shopping you can follow the basic rules, keep your distance, sanitise your hands before and after shopping, wear a scarf or alike around your mouth. Our store is enormous but only 15 people allowed in at one time. Yes so many are on their own, myself included. That would still not make me meet someone that wasn’t already part of my household or close friends. You can talk to people on here or other sites without physically having to meet them. The risk is still there in one to one contact, are you the only person they are meeting ? You could have the virus and no symptoms You all make your own choices but this will just go on even longer if people can’t follow basic simple rules ! It’s going to be tough for all, but it has to be done. This isn’t going anywhere soon I'm glad you have family and close friends and the ability to go shopping every week. But judging others who aren't having mass orgies? Begrudging someone 1 on 1 contact, its no different than going shopping you have contact with the person on the till who will have contact with 100s in a day. If you use the self checkout you have contact with something 100s use a day. Even if it's sanitised often the person before you breathed all over it. Stop and think before you make judgement. Mass infection is what's to be avoided and individual infection is extremely difficult to avoid not matter how much you limit social contact. If you go shopping or see your close friends and family then that makes you a hypocrite that's all I'm saying. Did I say I was seeing my family and friends no.... we are communicating via text or telephone. 1-2-1 contact is SO different than going food shopping, I’m not having intimate contact without anyone and keeping a safe distance. Food shopping is a necessity, human contact isn’t. As for single infection doesn’t matter it’s mass infection that’s does... have you not heard of the ripple effect ? Yes I could catch it in the supermarket, but that’s a risk I have to take to not starve. That’s the only risk I’m taking though other than that I’m in my four walls. I could get personal here but it’s so not worth it.... you’re making your choice to meet and more than one, good luck to you I just hope your actions don’t ripple ! Your words "That would still not make me meet someone that wasn’t already part of my household or close friends" And you want to judge me on meeting 2 people? Both of which I've known a long time. Over the fact I see no family or friends outside of this life? They are my closest friends, but go ahead and judge. Im not the one being a hypocrite. Human contact is a necessity especially for me but thanks for considering mental health you've done a great job, marvelous, absolutely astounding consideration. I feel sadness for people just like me because isolation is going to hit us the hardest and no one's going to know if the worst should happen. Weeks and months before anyone realises that they don't exist any more. Because no one cares enough to visit. Be thankful you have family and close friends. You have a social network who cares. The ripple effect is inevitable and manageable. Im one of the high risk but I have to consider my mental health and risk of the virus, if you were in my position I doubt you'd judge the same. Yes I have family and friends, do they live anywhere near me no. Even if they did we wouldn’t be meeting up as it’s the right thing to do at this time. Isolation is hard on all, especially those that live on their own and guess what I’m one of those people to. Of course I’m going to miss human interaction but it’s not a necessity, living is I take my responsibilities as human being and what is right for all people other than my own needs. Your FWBs you’ve known a long time can talk on the phone or video call, you don’t need to meet in person As for your last paragraph, it just dumbfounds me even more, but you’ve made your choice and here’s hoping your actions don’t need one of those nhs beds !

If you use the self checkout you have contact with something 100s use a day. Even if it's sanitised often the person before you breathed all over it. Stop and think before you make judgement. Mass infection is what's to be avoided and individual infection is extremely difficult to avoid not matter how much you limit social contact. If you go shopping or see your close friends and family then that makes you a hypocrite that's all I'm saying. Did I say I was seeing my family and friends no.... we are communicating via text or telephone. 1-2-1 contact is SO different than going food shopping, I’m not having intimate contact without anyone and keeping a safe distance. Food shopping is a necessity, human contact isn’t. As for single infection doesn’t matter it’s mass infection that’s does... have you not heard of the ripple effect ? Yes I could catch it in the supermarket, but that’s a risk I have to take to not starve. That’s the only risk I’m taking though other than that I’m in my four walls. I could get personal here but it’s so not worth it.... you’re making your choice to meet and more than one, good luck to you I just hope your actions don’t ripple ! Your words "That would still not make me meet someone that wasn’t already part of my household or close friends" And you want to judge me on meeting 2 people? Both of which I've known a long time. Over the fact I see no family or friends outside of this life? They are my closest friends, but go ahead and judge. Im not the one being a hypocrite. Human contact is a necessity especially for me but thanks for considering mental health you've done a great job, marvelous, absolutely astounding consideration. I feel sadness for people just like me because isolation is going to hit us the hardest and no one's going to know if the worst should happen. Weeks and months before anyone realises that they don't exist any more. Because no one cares enough to visit. Be thankful you have family and close friends. You have a social network who cares. The ripple effect is inevitable and manageable. Im one of the high risk but I have to consider my mental health and risk of the virus, if you were in my position I doubt you'd judge the same. Yes I have family and friends, do they live anywhere near me no. Even if they did we wouldn’t be meeting up as it’s the right thing to do at this time. Isolation is hard on all, especially those that live on their own and guess what I’m one of those people to. Of course I’m going to miss human interaction but it’s not a necessity, living is I take my responsibilities as human being and what is right for all people other than my own needs. Your FWBs you’ve known a long time can talk on the phone or video call, you don’t need to meet in person As for your last paragraph, it just dumbfounds me even more, but you’ve made your choice and here’s hoping your actions don’t need one of those nhs beds ! We are two very different people in our thinking and actions Wow are you losers seriously wasting time arguing discussing this ? We've got nothing but time. Im an insomniac il still argue this till at least 9am. Do people who wish to meet 1 on 1 deserve judgement? Is it fair on people? If someone was sick and they went to a meet judge them.

"People meeting 1 on 1 isn't the larger issue it's group gatherings where 1 sick individual can infect the masses. Someone sneezing or coughing in a room full of people each and everyone of them is breathing the same air and the droplets linger in the air. Need I point out what vaping looks like with those tiny droplets? It will only take 1 person who is contagious with covid19 to infect each and every one of them just by everyone breathing. The larger the group to bigger the spread. Stopping individuals seeing each other won't prevent it, when you go shopping youre in contact with every surface and people walking around the store. So why do people judge so much about individuals meeting. Do you not realise some people have absolutely no one? No friends outside of fab? No family who care? Some people like myself are already isolated. If someone's sick I'm sure they won't meet I'd hope they were responsible with that at least. If you are so appalled by individuals meeting I suggest you not leave the house at all and seal your windows and doors. Dont leave the house to do your shopping, don't order takeaway because they have contact with your food, they bring it to your door they touch and breathe all over the packaging, don't see any person related or not. Because you don't want to be a hypocrite now would you? You can't be angry at someone when you haven't completely isolated yourself. If I could completely isolate myself I would. The only time I leave the house is to get food, now I have enough for a week I don’t need to venture out again. If I could have it delivered I would but that’s a three week wait here for the first available slot. Even going food shopping you can follow the basic rules, keep your distance, sanitise your hands before and after shopping, wear a scarf or alike around your mouth. Our store is enormous but only 15 people allowed in at one time. Yes so many are on their own, myself included. That would still not make me meet someone that wasn’t already part of my household or close friends. You can talk to people on here or other sites without physically having to meet them. The risk is still there in one to one contact, are you the only person they are meeting ? You could have the virus and no symptoms You all make your own choices but this will just go on even longer if people can’t follow basic simple rules ! It’s going to be tough for all, but it has to be done. This isn’t going anywhere soon I'm glad you have family and close friends and the ability to go shopping every week.

Begrudging someone 1 on 1 contact, its no different than going shopping you have contact with the person on the till who will have contact with 100s in a day. If you use the self checkout you have contact with something 100s use a day. Even if it's sanitised often the person before you breathed all over it. Stop and think before you make judgement. Mass infection is what's to be avoided and individual infection is extremely difficult to avoid not matter how much you limit social contact. If you go shopping or see your close friends and family then that makes you a hypocrite that's all I'm saying. Did I say I was seeing my family and friends no.... we are communicating via text or telephone. 1-2-1 contact is SO different than going food shopping, I’m not having intimate contact without anyone and keeping a safe distance. Food shopping is a necessity, human contact isn’t. As for single infection doesn’t matter it’s mass infection that’s does... have you not heard of the ripple effect ? Yes I could catch it in the supermarket, but that’s a risk I have to take to not starve. That’s the only risk I’m taking though other than that I’m in my four walls. I could get personal here but it’s so not worth it.... you’re making your choice to meet and more than one, good luck to you I just hope your actions don’t ripple ! Your words "That would still not make me meet someone that wasn’t already part of my household or close friends" And you want to judge me on meeting 2 people? Both of which I've known a long time. Over the fact I see no family or friends outside of this life? They are my closest friends, but go ahead and judge. Im not the one being a hypocrite. Human contact is a necessity especially for me but thanks for considering mental health you've done a great job, marvelous, absolutely astounding consideration. I feel sadness for people just like me because isolation is going to hit us the hardest and no one's going to know if the worst should happen. Weeks and months before anyone realises that they don't exist any more. Because no one cares enough to visit. Be thankful you have family and close friends. You have a social network who cares. The ripple effect is inevitable and manageable. Im one of the high risk but I have to consider my mental health and risk of the virus, if you were in my position I doubt you'd judge the same. Yes I have family and friends, do they live anywhere near me no. Even if they did we wouldn’t be meeting up as it’s the right thing to do at this time. Isolation is hard on all, especially those that live on their own and guess what I’m one of those people to. Of course I’m going to miss human interaction but it’s not a necessity, living is I take my responsibilities as human being and what is right for all people other than my own needs. Your FWBs you’ve known a long time can talk on the phone or video call, you don’t need to meet in person As for your last paragraph, it just dumbfounds me even more, but you’ve made your choice and here’s hoping your actions don’t need one of those nhs beds ! We are two very different people in our thinking and actions Wow are you losers seriously wasting time arguing discussing this ? We've got nothing but time. Im an insomniac il still argue this till at least 9am. Do people who wish to meet 1 on 1 deserve judgement? Is it fair on people? If someone was sick and they went to a meet judge them. But if neither are sick who has the right to tell them they can't meet. We don't have the right now to congregate in groups but nothing is imposed on personal contact. How do you know you’re not sick... just because you aren’t showing any symptoms? Doesn’t mean it’s not in your system Because as I said common cold floors me, I can go not leaving the house for a month and come in contact with someone sick within 24hrs I'm sick. I don't have the immune system that copes with such things. I'd know if I'd caught it I'd be dead pretty quick been close enough too many times. Incubation times are massively decreased as bacteria and viral infection overwhelm my body quickly due to no resistance. Healthy people have an effective immune system that fights eventually they get overwhelmed and succumb to the infection I don't have that. My body has no moat and has no walls the castle gets infiltrated. It takes much longer for my body to fight it. Eventually the cavalry turn up and toss the invaders out. Do I need to describe it any other way for you? My last word.... your choice ! " Ain't you just flew back from mexico so tell me did u sit on a plane with no one near u ? How did social distancing work on that ? | |||

Have I said I'm not self isolating we are a couple so we ain't going to be alone for God knows how long if a total restriction is put on us...and I'm sure the prospect of stuck home totally alone not knowing how long it going to be before they have contact with another human is terrifying and for some people more dangerous to them than having a meet come meet them in the privacy of their own home | |||

"There was a great video about social distancing and what it meant for the virus as it is something we can't see. Matches were lined up. The first one was lighted up...and it automatically started to light the others one by one as they were lined up very close to one another. Then one was removed of that line and the lighting up series was broken up. This is exactly what government and most importantly all doctors in the world who have studied viruses...ask us to do. And this is exactly what I do because even if I know that I may not die if I'd catch the virus, I may give it to a vulnerable person without knowing.

I told someone I had it yesterday (I don't) and he was pushing for a meet. Can't educate stupid. " If my mum wanted a hug.......shed get one......of course would have a shower first.....health and safety.... | |||

" If they are in a low risk group and get it they will have no reason to to come in contact with a health care provider they will just have to self isolate No one knows how it will affect them until they have the virus. They could still end up in intensive care. They could also be a super spreader. In Italy patient one as they call him, was a super spreader and went to lots of functions spreading it without knowing. In the USA 4 members of one family have died after having a dinner together , none had Underlying health conditions. Yeah I understand that but if you are unaware that you are in a high risk group then it's likely you will be putting yourself at risks in other ways like going to buy food or going for a walk alone but accidentally touching something that an infected person has sneezed or coughed on...we have been told to not leave the house yet so you can bet people are still out and about But this thread is about meeting others still. " Precisely and the advice is stay at home, don’t go out unless you really have to, don’t visit friends and family. If you have to go out do stay 2 metres away from each other It’s there in black and white to be followed. Bring on forced lockdown it’s the only way it’s going to happen, as people can’t be sensible and responsible | |||

"So if 2 single people who both live alone that are in a low risk group decide to meet 1 of them gets in their own car drives straight to that person house has a meet then returns home in same way then both them people then stay in their own homes alone and continues to isolate how are they harming anyone? Unless they have a underlying illness that is unknown to them so they get more Ill than expected which could also happen to someone who had to go shopping? I'm not saying it is right or wrong to meet at the moment but it down to the people that are meet as long as they ain't putting whole households at risk x You don't get it at all do you. How many deaths is it going to take before it actually sinks in that people have to stay away from each other. 100,1000,10000,100000+ ? I do get it but if 2 people are only in contact with each other they are only putting one another at risk...are couples not sharing beds at the moment as they ain't 2 metres if they are! Obviously you don't get it. So people who live together can self isolate of one or the other show's symptoms. Two complete strangers have no idea if they are carrier's or not ,still with me. Those same two strangers then decide to meet other strangers ,who then decide to meet others and so on..... Everytime you leave the house you're exposing yourself and others. Everytime you go to the shop, everytime you order takeaway the no contact offers they are doing are protecting themselves from you not the other way around. Complete isolation for everyone with symptoms Government says I need to isolate for 12 weeks. Who is going to bring me my shopping? So if I'm going to die from this damned virus I'm going to do it by enjoying time with people I enjoy the company of they aren't sick il take the risk. Also I can't get any shopping anyway because shelves are empty and I can't afford several trips hoping I can manage to bring anything home. I can't drive access to transport is limited and do I really want to be catching buses? Taxis are expensive. I'm so sick and tired of people judging and being hypocrits themselves. If the government did what took them weeks to do and that's issue support in terms of finances for people who had to isolate due to being sick we wouldn't be in this position. The government failed the country and the idiots who support the PM by saying well what could the government do what do you expect them to do. Average period of incubation period is 3 to 15 days and for people like me it's 1.5 days. But people had to work while sick because insurance companies and employers took the fact Boris didn't issue statements forcing isolation it was only recommended. Now there's support backed by the government. Judge them not people trying to not lose the entire plot. Well written.........have you looked at the key workers list.......basically says all can work........" And send their children to school... | |||

You knew about the situation in the world and you went on that plane to save your. You did it because of money and not to end up stuck miles away from home. Maybe you picked up the virus on the plane 2. You went out shopping and were in close contact with other people while buying food You made quite a few selfish things there and here you are preaching, blocking and judging others about meeting 1 on 1. I think you're right..you're not a hypocrite. There has to be a worse word for this. | |||

" I know what you are saying and people make choices, but when basic rules are in place and people can’t or won’t follow them, then there risks I don’t understand people taking " Perhaps here's something to mull over. You don't understand why people take the risk..... that's absolutely fine, in the grand scheme of things do you NEED to understand? Let's be honest, likelihood is no, so shall we swiftly move to acceptance and move on? | |||

"People meeting 1 on 1 isn't the larger issue it's group gatherings where 1 sick individual can infect the masses. Someone sneezing or coughing in a room full of people each and everyone of them is breathing the same air and the droplets linger in the air. Need I point out what vaping looks like with those tiny droplets? It will only take 1 person who is contagious with covid19 to infect each and every one of them just by everyone breathing. The larger the group to bigger the spread. Stopping individuals seeing each other won't prevent it, when you go shopping youre in contact with every surface and people walking around the store. So why do people judge so much about individuals meeting. Do you not realise some people have absolutely no one? No friends outside of fab? No family who care? Some people like myself are already isolated. If someone's sick I'm sure they won't meet I'd hope they were responsible with that at least. If you are so appalled by individuals meeting I suggest you not leave the house at all and seal your windows and doors. Dont leave the house to do your shopping, don't order takeaway because they have contact with your food, they bring it to your door they touch and breathe all over the packaging, don't see any person related or not. Because you don't want to be a hypocrite now would you? You can't be angry at someone when you haven't completely isolated yourself. If I could completely isolate myself I would. The only time I leave the house is to get food, now I have enough for a week I don’t need to venture out again. If I could have it delivered I would but that’s a three week wait here for the first available slot. Even going food shopping you can follow the basic rules, keep your distance, sanitise your hands before and after shopping, wear a scarf or alike around your mouth. Our store is enormous but only 15 people allowed in at one time. Yes so many are on their own, myself included. That would still not make me meet someone that wasn’t already part of my household or close friends. You can talk to people on here or other sites without physically having to meet them. The risk is still there in one to one contact, are you the only person they are meeting ? You could have the virus and no symptoms You all make your own choices but this will just go on even longer if people can’t follow basic simple rules ! It’s going to be tough for all, but it has to be done. This isn’t going anywhere soon I'm glad you have family and close friends and the ability to go shopping every week. But judging others who aren't having mass orgies? Begrudging someone 1 on 1 contact, its no different than going shopping you have contact with the person on the till who will have contact with 100s in a day. If you use the self checkout you have contact with something 100s use a day. Even if it's sanitised often the person before you breathed all over it. Stop and think before you make judgement. Mass infection is what's to be avoided and individual infection is extremely difficult to avoid not matter how much you limit social contact. If you go shopping or see your close friends and family then that makes you a hypocrite that's all I'm saying. Did I say I was seeing my family and friends no.... we are communicating via text or telephone. 1-2-1 contact is SO different than going food shopping, I’m not having intimate contact without anyone and keeping a safe distance. Food shopping is a necessity, human contact isn’t. As for single infection doesn’t matter it’s mass infection that’s does... have you not heard of the ripple effect ? Yes I could catch it in the supermarket, but that’s a risk I have to take to not starve. That’s the only risk I’m taking though other than that I’m in my four walls. I could get personal here but it’s so not worth it.... you’re making your choice to meet and more than one, good luck to you I just hope your actions don’t ripple ! Your words "That would still not make me meet someone that wasn’t already part of my household or close friends" And you want to judge me on meeting 2 people? Both of which I've known a long time. Over the fact I see no family or friends outside of this life? They are my closest friends, but go ahead and judge. Im not the one being a hypocrite. Human contact is a necessity especially for me but thanks for considering mental health you've done a great job, marvelous, absolutely astounding consideration. I feel sadness for people just like me because isolation is going to hit us the hardest and no one's going to know if the worst should happen. Weeks and months before anyone realises that they don't exist any more. Because no one cares enough to visit. Be thankful you have family and close friends. You have a social network who cares. The ripple effect is inevitable and manageable. Im one of the high risk but I have to consider my mental health and risk of the virus, if you were in my position I doubt you'd judge the same." I'm bloody judging you! 2 people. So that's now 3 people that are potentially infected.... Passing on to another 10 each in the supermarket.... Please think about your stupidity. I am a NHS worker I have no choice of I had a choice I would stay at home and only go out for what's needed. I actually look forward to a full lockdown because I'm currently terrified about what I'm going to be facing over the next few weeks | |||

" My last word.... your choice ! Ain't you just flew back from mexico so tell me did u sit on a plane with no one near u ? How did social distancing work on that ? Yes I have but didn’t really have a choice in the matter, I would have stayed put if I could. Since landing on Thursday morning I’ve been indoors except for a food shop at 7am this morning u had a choice not to go did u not ? U knew this was happening when u went on the plane? I made the choice to go or lose £3,000. When I left we were not in this situation and holidays were not being cancelled unless it was to an infected area. What I had planned in the next month has been cancelled following the government’s announcement and refunds issued So money was your motivation to flout your own now very strict rules? Ok... kinda hypocritical after all the rest of what you’ve said. And if anyone does need to self isolate, it is 100% you as you are far more of a risk then most other people commenting. I wasn’t flounting any rules when I left on my vacation so not hypocritical at all. These aren’t my strict rules, they are the ones laid down by the government So you weighed up the risk to yourself and made a choice to go the outbreak got worse but you went to the shops since coming back so have come in to contact with the public with retail workers that are in turn coming into contact with many other people who they will serve that day including key workers...so the risk to others is high if you are in a incubation period But someone who lives alone who already has shopping in goes to meet one person using their own car to travel then self isolates is less responsibile than you? Yes I’ve been to one shop to collect food. What physical contact did I have with anyone... none and kept my 2 metres distance from all. It is possible to shop for the basics and follow the rules Shop isle are not 2 metres wide I'm sure you must have passed people down the isle the cashier wouldn't have been 2 metres away And for you the trip to the shops was necessary very true no body would expect you to stave But for someone living alone that little bit of human contact could be necessary and fab might be the easiest way to get that Because sitting home alone with nothing but their own thoughts is gonna send them crazy Yes their are ppl who just don't give a shit about others and what they spread about But their also people that a meet in next few days is a bit of a life line so you can't just assume they just don't give a shit Are shop is limited to 15 people at a time so plenty of space to avoid each other. As for the cashier, you put your food one end and move quickly down the other put your food back in the trolley and pack away from them For your information I get those that live alone sentiment as I am one of them. Whether I end up craving human contact in time to come, I still won’t break the rules for a meet " Clearly you don't understand how the virus spreads in terms of indirect contact. You touch and breathe on the goods, the cashier picks up the goods and your hands have touched them. They scan the goods and then you pick them up... the cashier touched and breathed all over them and many other items before yours who had been touched and breathed upon by other people. Then you hand over cash and if you get change thats been touched by others. If you pay by card and it's not contactless then you've touched and breathed over the keypad. You've touched the trolly, you've touched items you decided you weren't going to buy and put them back on the shelf. Do you know why distancing is 2m? The distance a normal breath exhales micro droplets. A cough can expel droplets up to 8ft away. Did you have a dry throat from the recirculated air on the plane? Did it make you have a slight cough? You sure you're not sick? | |||

" Some people on here are not afraid of the virus and they shouldn't be judged by others who are paranoid and scared. If you don't want to meet then don't. Don't make a thread on here and point fingers. People who are not afraid and do not take this seriously are idiots. Hell we wouldn't meet them if they were the only people on here, but we can and will judge idiotic hehaviour." Everyting you are saying makes sense but should we all open threads then and start stating who is an idiot because of this and that? You just ignore, block or delete and thats it. She said she has food for a week. If this thing goes out of control we can end up totaly locked in for a few weeks. Guess what will she do after those supplies run out after a week? You will see here in the closest store kicking some old lady out of the way (plane-£3000-store after flight). Tell the OP she shouldn't attack people like that. | |||

No I don’t have a cough or a dry throat from the plane, because I kept hydrated and my mouth moist I understand the virus very well thank hence why, I wore disposable gloves to shop in, only picked up what went in my trolley rather than picking up and putting back and I paid by card. | |||

"People meeting 1 on 1 isn't the larger issue it's group gatherings where 1 sick individual can infect the masses. Someone sneezing or coughing in a room full of people each and everyone of them is breathing the same air and the droplets linger in the air. Need I point out what vaping looks like with those tiny droplets? It will only take 1 person who is contagious with covid19 to infect each and every one of them just by everyone breathing. The larger the group to bigger the spread. Stopping individuals seeing each other won't prevent it, when you go shopping youre in contact with every surface and people walking around the store. So why do people judge so much about individuals meeting. Do you not realise some people have absolutely no one? No friends outside of fab? No family who care? Some people like myself are already isolated. If someone's sick I'm sure they won't meet I'd hope they were responsible with that at least. If you are so appalled by individuals meeting I suggest you not leave the house at all and seal your windows and doors. Dont leave the house to do your shopping, don't order takeaway because they have contact with your food, they bring it to your door they touch and breathe all over the packaging, don't see any person related or not. Because you don't want to be a hypocrite now would you? You can't be angry at someone when you haven't completely isolated yourself. If I could completely isolate myself I would. The only time I leave the house is to get food, now I have enough for a week I don’t need to venture out again. If I could have it delivered I would but that’s a three week wait here for the first available slot. Even going food shopping you can follow the basic rules, keep your distance, sanitise your hands before and after shopping, wear a scarf or alike around your mouth. Our store is enormous but only 15 people allowed in at one time. Yes so many are on their own, myself included. That would still not make me meet someone that wasn’t already part of my household or close friends. You can talk to people on here or other sites without physically having to meet them. The risk is still there in one to one contact, are you the only person they are meeting ? You could have the virus and no symptoms You all make your own choices but this will just go on even longer if people can’t follow basic simple rules ! It’s going to be tough for all, but it has to be done. This isn’t going anywhere soon I'm glad you have family and close friends and the ability to go shopping every week. But judging others who aren't having mass orgies? Begrudging someone 1 on 1 contact, its no different than going shopping you have contact with the person on the till who will have contact with 100s in a day. If you use the self checkout you have contact with something 100s use a day. Even if it's sanitised often the person before you breathed all over it. Stop and think before you make judgement. Mass infection is what's to be avoided and individual infection is extremely difficult to avoid not matter how much you limit social contact. If you go shopping or see your close friends and family then that makes you a hypocrite that's all I'm saying. Did I say I was seeing my family and friends no.... we are communicating via text or telephone. 1-2-1 contact is SO different than going food shopping, I’m not having intimate contact without anyone and keeping a safe distance. Food shopping is a necessity, human contact isn’t. As for single infection doesn’t matter it’s mass infection that’s does... have you not heard of the ripple effect ? Yes I could catch it in the supermarket, but that’s a risk I have to take to not starve. That’s the only risk I’m taking though other than that I’m in my four walls. I could get personal here but it’s so not worth it.... you’re making your choice to meet and more than one, good luck to you I just hope your actions don’t ripple ! Your words "That would still not make me meet someone that wasn’t already part of my household or close friends" And you want to judge me on meeting 2 people? Both of which I've known a long time. Over the fact I see no family or friends outside of this life? They are my closest friends, but go ahead and judge. Im not the one being a hypocrite. Human contact is a necessity especially for me but thanks for considering mental health you've done a great job, marvelous, absolutely astounding consideration. I feel sadness for people just like me because isolation is going to hit us the hardest and no one's going to know if the worst should happen. Weeks and months before anyone realises that they don't exist any more. Because no one cares enough to visit. Be thankful you have family and close friends. You have a social network who cares. The ripple effect is inevitable and manageable. Im one of the high risk but I have to consider my mental health and risk of the virus, if you were in my position I doubt you'd judge the same. I'm bloody judging you! 2 people. So that's now 3 people that are potentially infected.... Passing on to another 10 each in the supermarket.... Please think about your stupidity. I am a NHS worker I have no choice of I had a choice I would stay at home and only go out for what's needed. I actually look forward to a full lockdown because I'm currently terrified about what I'm going to be facing over the next few weeks " Oh I'm sorry my break in isolation is such an issue. Please check the rest of the thread for the rest of my details regarding my FRIDAY night. Do you not think mental health and company is required to aid a person's well-being? My 1 day in a week of being out of the house to spend it with 2 close friends. One of which I'd seen the week before also so in any case if either of were infected thats ok because we'd already seen each other so probably already infected. Judge away, praytell you haven't sent your children to school. | |||

When we go into lock down there will be the permission slip to go food shopping that’s what I will do. Yes I have enough meals for a week because you know why, I didn’t stockpile and left food for others. What will I do in the meantime, we’ll I have rice, pasta, cereal and biscuits. I’m an healthy adult I can go without food for a couple of days. Your other comments don’t justify a response ! | |||

"Ok. I’m a nurse. Wearing bin bags as protection. And I’ve been in since 7. Before the special time at shops. I will possibly see a person die today as a result of this virus. As a result of people being douche bags. Don’t be selfish people. Listen to advice. I walk to work to avoid contact because I’m no doubt infected. Last test ok. But I’m dealing with it all time. And people moan about getting bloody toilet rolls and booze. Get a grip. " Hope you remain healthy. And thanks for all the hard work and putting it on the line! | |||

"So if 2 single people who both live alone that are in a low risk group decide to meet 1 of them gets in their own car drives straight to that person house has a meet then returns home in same way then both them people then stay in their own homes alone and continues to isolate how are they harming anyone? Unless they have a underlying illness that is unknown to them so they get more Ill than expected which could also happen to someone who had to go shopping? I'm not saying it is right or wrong to meet at the moment but it down to the people that are meet as long as they ain't putting whole households at risk x" | |||

Meeting a person for intimate contact is completely different to going to a shop where you have no physical contact with anyone. You really don't understand the concept of social distancing. If you fuck someone with the virus you WILL get it. If you go shopping, stay away from everyone else there and don't touch your face until after you're back home and have washed your hands it's very unlikely you will get it. Each person that has the virus on average spreads it to 2.3 people, then they spread it to 2.3 people and so on. Get out a calculator and do the maths on that, it's fucking scary. Everyone should listen to this radio interview with a doctor who's dealing with this right now. Then perhaps people would stop being so flippant and careless. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0877mb2 | |||

The only time I leave the house is to get food, now I have enough for a week I don’t need to venture out again. If I could have it delivered I would but that’s a three week wait here for the first available slot. Even going food shopping you can follow the basic rules, keep your distance, sanitise your hands before and after shopping, wear a scarf or alike around your mouth. Our store is enormous but only 15 people allowed in at one time. Yes so many are on their own, myself included. That would still not make me meet someone that wasn’t already part of my household or close friends. You can talk to people on here or other sites without physically having to meet them. The risk is still there in one to one contact, are you the only person they are meeting ? You could have the virus and no symptoms You all make your own choices but this will just go on even longer if people can’t follow basic simple rules ! It’s going to be tough for all, but it has to be done. This isn’t going anywhere soon I'm glad you have family and close friends and the ability to go shopping every week. But judging others who aren't having mass orgies? Begrudging someone 1 on 1 contact, its no different than going shopping you have contact with the person on the till who will have contact with 100s in a day. If you use the self checkout you have contact with something 100s use a day. Even if it's sanitised often the person before you breathed all over it. Stop and think before you make judgement. Mass infection is what's to be avoided and individual infection is extremely difficult to avoid not matter how much you limit social contact. If you go shopping or see your close friends and family then that makes you a hypocrite that's all I'm saying. Meeting a person for intimate contact is completely different to going to a shop where you have no physical contact with anyone. You really don't understand the concept of social distancing. If you fuck someone with the virus you WILL get it. If you go shopping, stay away from everyone else there and don't touch your face until after you're back home and have washed your hands it's very unlikely you will get it. Each person that has the virus on average spreads it to 2.3 people, then they spread it to 2.3 people and so on. Get out a calculator and do the maths on that, it's fucking scary. Everyone should listen to this radio interview with a doctor who's dealing with this right now. Then perhaps people would stop being so flippant and careless. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0877mb2" Must spread pretty easy without touching then cos I know I don't touch 2.5 people when I go out and I'm sure other ppl don't either ..well on a normal day to day basis I don't anyway lol | |||
