General Discussion
early today i watched sainsbury delivery of food to elderly couple so that they do not have to go out. then later on daughter drives round with grand daughter to play in the middle of the road, a foot or so apart for the best part of 20 mins before the daughter and grand daughter drive off.
why should the delivery driver have to put their lives at risk for these ignorant people!
social distancing is for a reason not for fun.
now they have gone out in their car, yes i may be nosey, but these action by them do not help contain the spread of this virus.
I have not seen the town centre so busy for weeks loads of folk all meeting and chatting the roads are also very busy i wonder why? My guess the number of deaths are dropping and folk think it's as good as over but they are going to learn the hard way because it's only just started.
Keep five yards from a carriage, ten yards from a horse, and a hundred yards from an elephant; but the distance one should keep from a wicked man cannot be measured.
Indian proverb
I walked through town yesterday about 3pm and it was quiet I thought. First time I've ventured that far. Everyone kept their distance. There's some very superior people tut tutting at people as if they're the only ones who can possibly understand all the consequences. We've had a few people at work with Covid19 and one death and are certainly not underestimating things. A lot of us also have elderly relatives we're trying to support or are in the risk category ourselves. I've yet to be aware of someone flouting the rules systematically.
