I work in town, so naturally find myself wandering the shops on my lunch hour to stretch my legs as I’m behind a computer all day. I have also been out to restaurants and bars, nothing I wouldn’t have done pre Covid. I went a bit a bit harder across August with eat out to help out, but that’s it. Both myself and my partner are key workers, were not vulnerable.Long time lurker of a few threads on here. A recurring theme seems to be everyone slagging off anyone who goes out to eat or drink at the moment as if they are showing a complete disregard for the rules. Despite a lot of them going with their own household and sticking to the rules of where they have gone regarding masks, track and trace etc.
I am intrigued if the people who make these judgements (and I have seen a lot of them on various threads) are not going anywhere at present?
I am in no means being bitchy I am just curious. I see a lot of influencers being called out for going to cafes, bars, restaurants despite it not being against any current restrictions.
For info I am an intensive care nurse, I take covid seriously and I have seen the devastation it causes. But have I been to cafe or out for dinner with my husband and kids, yes!
You’ve got people moaning about spreading the virus and then the other half saying it’s a hoax, not as bad as the flu and we need to get on with our lives. You can’t win and you won’t please everyone. You just have to do what’s right for you and your family.
I don’t think anyone should be judged for their choice to go out. If you want to stay home, fine. If you want to go out fine. Stay safe and look after you and yours. The difference between going out could be someone not taking their own life because they need that human interaction and someone not losing their job in the hospitality industry because you’ve spent your money there. So I would never feel bad for going out and I don’t think influencers shouldn’t either, including Danielle.
Her attitude on wearing a mask while her sister is doing her hair is questionable and her decision to drive the next day if she’s had a few drinks the night before, maybe. But I don’t see anything wrong with her wanting to go out or cancelling a holiday due to not being able to eat and drink which is a huge part of a lot of people’s holidays.
