Despite agreeing with the sentiment that extra vigilance regarding hand hygiene/masks etc makes even more sense as we ease out of lockdown, I am much less cautious than I was when the virus was more prevalent. I suspect this is the case for quite a few folks now. Complacency feels natural somehow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covid has had its day when it can’t even muster to be top 3 in the General Nonsense forum Yes. The original post for this thread asked if anyone on here had been part of a global pandemic. You would think the question has been answered by now and yet this thread keeps going. Amazing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The state itself didn’t lock down til April Fools Day (appropriately enough). Miami-Dade County (the most populous in the state) banned gatherings of more than 10 on March 18th and then closed all hotels on the 21st. Disney and Universal both closed on the 18th, which will have kept a load of folks out of Orlando. De Santis didn’t order anything in the state till April 1st, likely because he’s a dismal Trump toady cunto. One of his campaign ads had his ~6YO kid buildng a wall from LEGO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I'm seeing quite a lot of folk who are gathering in peoples houses, cuddling babies that aren't theirs, hugging their pals & just doing whatever they want ignoring all the lock down advice. quite sad to see to be honest. I've a new born and two sets of grandparents who are desperate to hold their grand wean. I've stuck to the advice and I see all these folk doing whatever they want. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven W Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Half a million deaths now. In less than six months. Wonder what the endgame is? Without a vaccine, will there even be one? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireTon Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 My wife returns to work today. They have installed screens, removed the furniture and the punters are generally discouraged from sticking around. Can’t give them a cuppa, no machines or TV screens will be on. She is very apprehensive, despite always wearing a mask and sanitising etc. whenever she does our shopping. I’m in the shielding group, although I had been using the golf course behind our house for exercise late in the evenings. It’s open again so we can’t use it anymore. Can’t wait for the 3rd so I can get back to the hills. No doubt the weather will turn exceptionally shite for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not very good advice - the rules / guidelines / restrictions are there for a reason - do you really think Scotland would have had 3 days of zero deaths in a row if we had all done what we liked? Its not about trying not to get caught its about not spreading the virus and passing it on to others...and so on 26 minutes ago, Donathan said: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And have you not been getting raging at customers for not obeying that, and other advisory rules? (apologies if I'm mixing you up with someone else) We advise about social distancing... And nah I'm past caring. Customers dont really give a f**k. If I feel that I'm not safe I can just walk away. It's pretty fun when customers have a go at one another. The spitting seems to have stopped as havnt needed to phone the police recently because of this so that is nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest_Man#1 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 One of my fiancé’s pals was ranting and raving consistently about people breaking lockdown with tear-stained block capitals posts on social media about how anyone breaking lockdown was a murderous scumbag... Until this weekend where someone posted up something showing her round at a gathering of 5+ households with people all hugging etc. Suddenly then her next post is a ‘I’m no longer blaming people for breaking rules, hope everyone enjoys summer as much as they can’ type post. These hypocritical wankers are the absolute worst. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've a new born and two sets of grandparents who are desperate to hold their grand wean. I've stuck to the advice and I see all these folk doing whatever they want.Folk are taking their own decisions, and you have to be careful making judgments about them, without knowing the full details behind their actions.I have to admit i gave my mum and dad a cuddle when i went through and visited a couple of weeks ago. I waited until we were allowed to go, although broke the 'don't use the toilet' rule as well (i took gloves, wipes, and plenty of hand gel - and i do have Crohn's disease so i was never going to be able to avoid having to use the toilet).So i knowingly broke the rules twice on that day - but generally have tried to follow the rest of the advice closely. I made sure i checked with my parents that they were willing to take the risk as well. We've also let the kids enter into a wee play bubble with two other neighbours kids - so they play together outside. We communicate regularly and would take immediate action if any symptoms emerged.Making your own choices is important.Of course there are some fannies that don't give a f**k about anyone else and are doing what they like. But i think most folk are trying hard to follow advice as closely as possible, with a few broken rules in there for whatever personal reasons they have. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
