I took it more as her whining about the ~confusing~ messaging about what they’re allowed to do. She’s probably moreso complaining that people are now being asked to lock down again. I mean she doesn’t even think she should have to follow Soho House’s photo rules, why should she have to wind down her socializing like a peasant?Yes, I thought this was a bit rich too, coming from a person who has been travelling more in the past few weeks than I and many others have all year. Coffee here, drinks there, hotel stay, Soho Farmhouse trip.... amazing social distancing Niomi.
I’ve seen a lot of complaining regarding the “confusion” from UK people on social media the last couple days, and while I agree that their government has clearly bungled the response and the communication, I’m sorry but what exactly did you think was going on here? There is a deadly virus that is still out there and spreads easily while indoors, unmasked, in gatherings of people outside your household. That has not changed. We’re you under the impression that it had? The rules were only relaxed because the initial wave subsided, the health care system could now handle patients, and because businesses are begging to be opened. But COVID has stayed the same. I understand finding ways to live and thrive while still assessing the risk, but constant indoor dining, jet setting holidays, Soho House, staying in different friends’ apartments, working out in indoor gyms, etc., seems to me to just be about pretending COVID was gone.
Frankly I’ve been aghast at how laissez faire a lot of Brits have been, sorry. There is definitely a culture of indulgence I hadn’t noticed before.
