I thought it was suggesting we need to be strictly social distancing... To avoid passing the virus on...
Wow. Quite shocked at the negatively this post that I wrote has received. Where's the supportive thread that used to exist?

I haven't commented for a while (April last) but I think we all need some of these lol

If I take one capsule..it should last the next six months

You posted something that basically implied all of us who have seen family/friends were liable to kill a bunch of people cos of our selfish actions
So yeah not the most supportive thing to post either!
It’s just a difference of opinion, I don’t think it’s unsupportive to disagree.
I just didn’t like the post as I think it’s overly judgemental and not really applicable when they are all things we are allowed to (and in fact encouraged to) do. I’m not being unsupportive I just find the post to be a bit of a guilt trip.
I saw it as a reminder to be careful and to adhere to strict social distancing. The amount of people I've seen hugging and taking instaselfies when out for dinner with other households...
My intention wasn't to suggest we shouldnt do the activities that are currently 'allowed'.. but to think about HOW we do them.
What a nasty thread this has become.

Maybe post your own thoughts and opinions rather than some copy and paste bull you found on social media trying to make everyone feel guilty about seeing their friends and family. It's not a real situation, stop scaremongering people
I’m sorry if you think I’m being nasty, that’s not my intention. I’m just questioning the point of the post because it just seems like it’s there to make people feel guilt for living their lives within the restrictions and there is enough pressure as it is.
I don’t think people not agreeing with your opinion means the whole thread is unsupportive. Personally I found your comment quite negative and bordering on scaremongering by implying that someone following the rules and also getting tested and isolating after displaying symptoms is still somehow wrong.
Today's announcement is just more tinkering around the edges.
We know lockdowns don't defeat the virus.
We know wearing masks doesn't defeat the virus.
We know social distancing doesn't defeat the virus.
So the only sensible solution is to live with the virus; give vulnerable people the option of self-isolating (on full pay), remove all restrictions and let the rest of us go about our daily lives. If we catch the virus, fine: whatever "Dim" Whitty says, we know that the virus is much milder than it was 6 months ago and is so insignificant that most people with the virus don't even know they''ve got it.

Thank you. I suppose I just read it and thought that I personally know many people who are breaking social distancing - e.g. close to others whilst out for meals with other households & thought it showed quote well how the virus can spread and affect others. That is all.
Yeah maybe just the examples aren’t good anymore, as I’m assuming it’s originally from
a while ago and all these things are allowed now.
maybe if the person hadn’t bothered to get tested or had been to a big house party or something I’d take it differently - just the post as it was, the examples all seem like reasonable things to do at the moment.
Maybe I should have edited the originally post to say 'WHEN THE PEOPLE IN THR STORY MET, THEY DID NOT SOCIAL DISTANCE AND THEREFORE THAT IS THE MORAL OF THE STORY'.
Also, I don't really think that it is scaremongering. Plenty of people are living their lives like this currently, without a care for others (or themselves I suppose). Which is how and why the virus is spreading.
Only today a concerned colleague told me that her friend is covid positive and they were together at the week and 'not distancing' (her words not mine. Is it any wonder that the virus is spreading. I merely posted this as a reminder...
I think I understood the point of it and that you weren’t trying to be judgemental, I’m glad we are allowed to do more things than in the March lockdown but we just all need to be a remain mindful, I know myself I feel ‘safe’ around people I know well and have gotten a bit complacent once or twice. I think that was the point your post was making.
Chris Whitty and Patrick Valance said the virus is not milder than it was.
The old someone who knows someone chestnut again... aren’t we all tired of this now
Boris obvs worried people would opt for cake over himBake off moved to 8.15 according to the radio
know which one I’m picking
Are you suggesting the deaths are made up?
I think announcement days always bring out the polarised viewpoints. The majority of people are probably going to adhere to the rules and carry on doing what they’re doing.
My daughters test came back negative! Such a relief we don’t have to isolate now, and presumably my other perfectly well child is able to go in to school tomorrow?
That’s great news! How long did it take to come back? Husbands and daughters were delivered to the lab this morning according to Royal Mail.
