This is a huge amount of mixing!!! Fucks sake!!!! No wonder we’re in the tit we’re in. I normally hate pointing the finger at other people because I think we’ve been let down appallingly by the failure to act in the very early days and it’s what the government wants us all in-fighting...but how on earth can she interpret this four week lockdown to mean they can go to all those different places?!
I'm glad someone said it. The rules aren't actually complicated at all. They just make allowances to help people operate. If at all possible, stay at home, just leave the house for essentials and exercise, dont meet up with anyone outside your household. If you live alone/are a single parent, bubble up with one other household.
Yes, strictly speaking you CAN meet a different person every single day outdoors 2m apart for exercise, but it doesn't mean you should. You can have people provide childcare, but if you are working from home and your child is 10, I don't think there is any need. The only people I know in my circle of friends who have childcare sorted during lockdown are medical doctors, a night porter and supermarket staff, I.e key workers who have no choice but to work long hours away from home.

bleeping triggers me. The virus is rampant. I've been so, so careful and I caught it (off my kids). I had close contact (all within rules) the day before I developed symptoms with two people. I was so worried I had passed it onto them. (Thankfully I didn't, possibly wasn't contagious yet or because I didn't see them for very long). Just stay at home for four weeks, get fresh air and exercise safely. The guidelines aren't designed for people to work out how much they can get away with.
