Imagine if every household in the country who has a frontline worker in it met up for an Easter dinner. Our health service would undoubtedly be crippled. The best you can hope for is that you don't start showing symptoms in the next two weeks.

My sister is a nurse and didn't want to take any chances so she sat out in the hall shouting in at us. Any time she annoyed us we just closed the door on her, it was great, might be an idea going forward :-)

Absolute freedom denied, how will we ever make it thru 3 more weeks of this... i tell ya they had it easy in ww1 and ww2.. we are the real greatest generation! this really is hell on earth! The only thing it proves is some people in this generation are soft as **** and any bit of "hardship" breaks them

KiKi III wrote: » Gonna go against the grain here. I think a family that has lost someone in the last month having dinner together while taking a high degree of precaution is understandable. Yes, they're breaking the guidelines, but they're human - this isn't an eejit driving half way round the country for a trampoline, it's a grieving family trying to get through a difficult time. Still think most of us should be following the guidelines as closely as possible, but there has to be some allowance for humanity.

I'll have to go downstairs in a min to make dinner and breath the diseased air and wipe the surfaces. I'll pick it up from them eventuality. Had several chats with her and she nods away im agreement. Sent her texts she should implementing social distancing. Earlier today she sends me a text saying she's staying in today as if she deserves a medal. Now she's out with her friend again.
