How seriously are you taking social distancing?

Shirley supermarkets can continue the one adult rule?

Which in fairness was often then ignored, sly couples then meeting up once through the door.

Who's to say they weren't driving to the beach to test their eyesight? We all know the best way to test your eyes is to drive somewhere nice with your nearest and dearest in the car.

I don't know why you are laughing, its Cummings that is laughing, we all been treated as mugs

Social distancing, size of groups...people are less likely to obey the rules now. Cummins actions, his failure to admit any wrong and blatant lying has eroded public trust.

That said, the buck ultimately stops with Johnson, he has failed to act. He will have even more blood on his hands, but when tens of thousands have needlessly passed away due to his arrogance and incompetence, what's a few more...

Don’t think that was ever really enforced

I only went in one large supermarket in the last 3 months but the one time I did, I went in with my wife. We bought a few things quickly and left. Late in the day, hardly anyone there. No signs or people saying only one adult at a time. I wasn't even aware of that. Nothing sly, we just walked in together as did loads of others.

I get your point, I can see that, but I think of it in reverse that our soft touch lockdown was the most that the government and public health scientists thought we’d stomach.

The heavy Spanish and Italian strategy was enforced by a huge presence of (armed) police, with Spanish augmenting that with 131,000 military personnel, Italy also used their army on the streets including for road checkpoints. That’d be an anathema in Britain.

Then of course we have the Gendarmerie (reputation for being a tad rough) in France ...which added together with the other police comes to a far more significant number than over here....easier to implement anything announced by their government

Talking of social distancing some advice please.....

We have a 1 month old baby. Her mum (nanny) has met baby once with the 2m rule in place ie no touching just cooing from afar. Now, 'Nanny' is getting impatient and wants to break the whole lockdown/SD and come and stay for a week. On top of that the wife's sister who lives in Australia has just applied and been granted a special exemption to get on a plane from Oz and come to the UK to 'help' my wife with the baby. She has stated that she will quarantine in our house for 2 weeks !

I have gone off my nut and said NO to both. Nannys husband is still working and in contact with people and the sister will be travelling across the globe on a plane cooped up for 24 hours. I'm being made out to be selfish by both nanny and sis in law. I feel they are just desperate to have a cuddle and I get that but I am putting my babies health at the forefront. There is nothing wrong with the baby apart from the fact she keeps us up half the night which is perfectly normal in my eyes.

Am I right to be like this ?

Thank you
