This is those that are ignoring government advice not critical workers .... I’m a critical worker and the amount of people who choose to go out is incredible. Those that have no choice like us, are the ones that see it most. Not sure how you thought it was aimed at you if you work in healthcare  |

I find the way people seem to think this is an excuse to insult people constantly, is fueling part of the problem.

It’s not an excuse. Parks and beaches reporting bigger crowds than August bank holiday after the government advised to social distant. If you ignore that advice then people are going to die. So sorry if you feel I’ve insulted anyone but the reality is that people ignore advice and that is my view on them. Health workers don’t get a choice about putting themselves at greater risk ... everyone in a non critical role does. Make the right choice |

Nope you didn’t. This is aimed at those that believe this not to be as serious as it is. You doing that was not putting yourself or others at risk |

Panic buyers are my main issue at the moment. I went on a lone shop last week (my usual fortnightly shop) to get ingredients for my daughters 4th birthday cake, was going to make her a butterfly.
No flour left at all, butter all gone, had to buy one of those over priced shit store made cakes instead, I'm fuming |

I truly am sorry that you are a widower and appreciate the significance of yesterday.
However, can you also understand that if exceptions are made for people to leave their homes at a time like this we run the risk of endangering the general population among whom are already sick and vulnerable people?

Of course they are ordinary people, we're all ordinary people, but they are wilfully ignoring what's being asked of them and they are responsible for spreading the virus and people will die because of their actions. It's as plain and simple as that.
Most of us can't do anything about this situation, we're helpless, we dependant on the NHS and key workers to keep things going and the least, the very fucking LEAST we can do is stay at home except when we absolutely have to go out. |

Again, whilst I’m terribly sorry for your loss you cannot deflect from the fact that yesterday the Prime Minister was forced to issue warnings about people leaving home - the mere fact that we aren’t already being compelled to isolate and stay at home but rather advised is less about the fact that it’s ok to go outside and more about government fears over lack of ability to enforce.
We can’t stop this thing but if we all do our bit and don’t think ourselves and our circumstances exceptional by staying at home no matter what then we will at least mitigate the number of inevitable deaths. |

The PM and his experts say we can go outside if we maintain social distance of 2m. It sounds like widowdad was more than 2m away from others whilst visiting his wife's grave on Mother's Day. Obviously he is regularly going to be close to his kids. Please don't bash a man for trying to keep his kids in touch with their deceased mother in a way that harms no one. The people who need to be lynched are those piling into the countryside in their thousands. Not widowdad. |

Thanks guys much appreciated and that's what I'm trying to say we kept our distance from people and tried to respect the 2m rule. You could say we didnt need to go for an walk after but I wanted to lighten the mood of the children and give them some exercise to so going to a remote place on the Moors where there was literally no other people couldnt be that bad |

Going for a walk where there is no one else to be seen is by definition social distancing.
This is totally different from the ones who are flocking out to places with hundreds of other people nearby, then crowding together around an ice cream van, sitting in large groups that are obviously not a single family, queuing to use a public toilet that a hundred people have used during the last hour.
Unfortunately the second group, using this time just as an extension to holidays with no change in usual behaviour, are fucking things over for the first group. Leaving no choice but for control regulations to rapidly become more draconian.
Stay safe people, indoors or outdoors, and be good to one another. |

Wholeheartedly agree but imagine that people think their circumstances are exceptional and therefore choose to leave the house right now: it makes the enforcement of having to stay at home inevitable.
The most sensible thing to do therefore is to stay at home no matter what unless you are a member of frontline services like the NHS or police.
Stay at home. |

Common sense should prevail.
It is damned annoying that while out getting essentials that others seem fit to stand right behind you at checkouts.
Tip for any out, while in a queue stand back from the person in front and put your trolley behind you to keep the person behind you away.
My mum suffers COPD and works at Morissons, the stories she came home with were truly shocking. She us now on 12 weeks isolated leave at home with colleages dropping off essentails to her.
Many people just dont care about others, whether through ignorance or arrogance I am unsure.
OP was not digging at nurses, carers or people heading out for essentials. It is these uncaring idiots going to beaches, parks and not respecting others 'space' was who he refers too.
It is ok to go outside for fresh air but keep away from others..
Stay safe..

"And anyone OP, who still doesn’t understand isolating v distancing or how the virus spreads - prize twunt "
This right here is extremely important.
There is a massive difference between going to a, safe to say, deserted cemetery to pay respects or walking your dog vs going out to other crowded areas where you can clearly see huge gatherings of other people.
People were given the freedom to be sensible while still doing outdoor things in close proximity to others. It's highly likely that freedom will be as good as taken away due to the selfishness of those that just wanted a good time. |

we have been told that going outside is fine as long as its local and we maintain social distancing.
This dad did nothing wrong. I took my kids and the dog for a walk across the local fields and then around the country park we back on to. Didnt see others. So shall continue to do so. |

Yes, but you exercised common sense. The meffs who the OP refers to believe that standing in a packed herd numbering 1000 odd outside a supermarket for a few hours or indeed painting the town red in droves is sound thinking.
So they quite clearly are not.

As I said we stayed away from people and I wouldnt stop my children laying flowers for their mum yesterday we haven't been told so self isolate but social distancing which I believe we did so with all due respect I did what I believe was right and that's that"

"We live in the countryside and the roads were like motorways and crowds of people in villages. Bloody well stay at home!
It's everywhere, it's complete madness here in north Wales, I've never seen so many people here.
Hundreds of campers all using the same shithouse (there's a toilet roll joke in there somewhere) "

Again, whilst I’m terribly sorry for your loss you cannot deflect from the fact that yesterday the Prime Minister was forced to issue warnings about people leaving home - the mere fact that we aren’t already being compelled to isolate and stay at home but rather advised is less about the fact that it’s ok to go outside and more about government fears over lack of ability to enforce.
We can’t stop this thing but if we all do our bit and don’t think ourselves and our circumstances exceptional by staying at home no matter what then we will at least mitigate the number of inevitable deaths.
The PM and his experts say we can go outside if we maintain social distance of 2m. It sounds like widowdad was more than 2m away from others whilst visiting his wife's grave on Mother's Day. Obviously he is regularly going to be close to his kids. Please don't bash a man for trying to keep his kids in touch with their deceased mother in a way that harms no one. The people who need to be lynched are those piling into the countryside in their thousands. Not widowdad. "

"Anyone who goes outside as a group... you’re a twunt
Anyone who sends theirs kids out to play with other kids.... you’re a twunt
Anyone who still goes to those pubs that remain open behind closed doors.... you’re a twunt
Anyone who panic buys.... you’re a twunt
Anyone who thinks that still socialising means you are only putting yourself at risk... you’re a twunt.
Anyone that doesn’t believe that because twunt’s think they know best and a complete lock down is not coming ... is a twunt...
Stay home, it’s boring. But it saves lives
Rant over
As a healthcare worker who has now got to be out my home to work longer hours find being called a twunt highly insulting
Don’t think he means you or yr colleagues.. us non twunts.. appreciate yr efforts and anything we can do to help I’m here
Exactly
I took my children to the grave yard yesterday to lay some flowers down for their mum we didnt go near anyone and then went for a walk on dartmoor in a place that had no other people then went home.
While I didnt stay in the house I.dont believe I'm anything bad for doing what I did
You absolutely aren't. People will judge no matter what. This has brought out the worst in humanity.
Compassion, understanding, support and kindness has been lost completely. "

Look it is absolutely ok for a mob of you to continue to use emotive rather than logical thinly-veiled ad hominems against me because you disagree.
That’s fine.
But when the bodies start overflowing in the morgues and loved ones of Fabbers start being affected and it becomes grimly stark just how contagious this virus is I hope we as a nation have pause for serious thought.
I hope to God it doesn’t but it’s becoming plainly clear day by day that the individualism rife in Western society, the exceptionalism we afford ourselves (‘I know I shouldn’t but actually I’m ok because it’ll only be the once’ etc.) and the frailty of the NHS after years of cuts will come home to roost.
Stay safe by staying at home. |

"I agree with the staying at home to not spread the virus. But will have to go to the supermarket this week as running short of food. Cant get a time slot with any home delivery so have no choice. "
The point is you go alone and maintain space as much as possible |

Can’t really win. Go out and buy loads so you don’t have to leave the house for a while, you get called selfish and greedy with no regard for anyone else.
Buy your normal shop which lasts a few days to a week and then you have to go back out for more and you’re called stupid and everything else. |

In fairness to OP he did say those going out in a group, to pubs, sending kids out to play together etc etc, so don't think you or anyone in similar situation was being referred to here. |

You can win... go shopping when you need to.. go alone and keep your distance... my post was at those who use this as an extra holiday and turn up on mass |

"Thanks. Sorry for jumping on the bandwagon. Stressful times for us all. Wish i could stay at home. That would be a welcomed rest for me."
I'm with this lady. Stressful time for all of us working for NHS. Not to mention trying to maintain being operational with the added pressure dealing with backlash of colleagues self isolating as they should per the rules. |

Thank you for your tireless efforts x
To reiterate, unless you absolutely must leave home... don’t. |

Sorry but this man has lost his partner his children have lost there mother they have already been through what most are fearful of,I think after that experience they understand loss better than most and wouldnt risk anyone to go through the same.He isn't irresponsible hes just double g what he believes is best for his children and broke no rules. I hope people dont forget compassion and understanding in there reactions as many of us are going to need those qualities to help each other when this is over |

I truly am sorry that you are a widower and appreciate the significance of yesterday.
However, can you also understand that if exceptions are made for people to leave their homes at a time like this we run the risk of endangering the general population among whom are already sick and vulnerable people?
Please just stay home."
There are no 'exceptions' in the scenario described. They took their children to a grave yard, and kept their distance from others. This is within the guidelines which has been set out by the government and health officials. At the moment, you CAN leave the house, you just need to be sensible about it. However, I imagine this evening's news will inform us of a change to this... |

"Hostility everywhere on here, in the workplace, in the shops.
It's only going to get worse when our rights to freedom are restricted further."
hostility. I don't think people are genuinely being nasty, I think its more not knowing how this will all turn out or end.
a lot of unbalanced minds and now parents have the kids all the time pressure is ratched up |

"I find the way people seem to think this is an excuse to insult people constantly, is fueling part of the problem.
Spreading hate and condemnation isn't helping anyone.
I have needs to increase my child care for my daughter’s baby- because she works for an energy company and her partner in an office for NHS- so many of us are still Needing to go out!! To support other front line workers.... that I disagree with - But You’re Bang on the rest!!! This Is Only the Tip Of an Epic Pandemic Iceberg- our social isolation has only just begun....
It’s not an excuse. Parks and beaches reporting bigger crowds than August bank holiday after the government advised to social distant. If you ignore that advice then people are going to die. So sorry if you feel I’ve insulted anyone but the reality is that people ignore advice and that is my view on them. Health workers don’t get a choice about putting themselves at greater risk ... everyone in a non critical role does. Make the right choice "

It's not rocket science
If you are fit and healthy go out and get some exexercise..but keep your distance and avoid big crowds.
Its staggering how many people cant understand this. |
