She wasn't just at her Dad's without a mask on. If it were that simple then I don't think people would have lost their shit over it. She was getting her hair done, which is an activity that can't be done with any social distancing. That's why hairdressers and customers have been wearing masks since July. The fact that the hairdresser is her sister is irrelevant. She doesn't live in her household and we are supposed to be trying to halt the spread by maintaining social distancing where possible, especially with people we don't live with.Same.
My comment was deleted recently about people being brainwashed by Boris Johnson when he’s made a complete mess of the whole situation. I couldn’t get my head around that people were losing their shit because she was at her dads house without a mask on but then again if she didn’t blast her life on insta no one would have anything to say.
When she did this, the statistics were showing that the virus was mostly being spread by households mixing and the 2 biggest age groups affected were 20-29s and 30 -39, they are in that bracket.. literally sitting for several hours with someone else in your face, in a private residence was exactly what we needed to avoid. Yes, it was her sister but she must know that you can catch viruses from family members, in fact that's the biggest cause of spread. Most people aren't catching Covid from strangers. And when someone tried to point this out, she had a massive strop and turned off comments. She blasted the next day that people need to have a day off and get a life, instead of looking at the reasons why people were a little critical.
At times this thread has been very holier than thou about her behaviour. I don't see anything wrong with going to pubs, restaurants (as long as it's done sensibly) and I'm glad that some people are able to go out and spend money so I'm never going to criticise her for that. But she has slipped up a couple of times, once with the hair thing, and and a couple of occasions where there's definitely been more than the maximum number allowed in a group. She should be more careful.
One more thing - I've had holidays cancelled this year and its been soul destroying so I get where she's coming from there. I think that these Instagrammers sometimes forget that they're talking to hundreds of thousands of people and that a lot of them will be in a much worse situation. I think that she must understand there's worse things than losing a holiday but its still painful when it happens. I'm a nurse, I looked after Covid patients in the spring so I'm well aware of how devastating it has been for some families, but I still cried like a bitch when I couldn't go away in June. So did most of my colleagues when theirs were cancelled. I did actually manage a week abroad in September (scandalous!).
Glad I'm not an Influencer or I'd have been scalped on here for going on holiday in the middle of a pandemic!
