Arguably the biggest issue with all these bloody tiers is that it’s open to interpretation. What you think is necessary could be different to what someone else thinks. Rosie May be struggling with her mental health and feel the need to see her husband, we just don’t know.This!
I don’t care if the law states she can travel, we all need to act responsibly to tackle this virus! I do not believe that a trip to London, when your area is under worse restrictions than other areas, is necessary! Especially when pregnant and with a child! It’s about making responsible choices to ensure we ALL do our bit to stop the spread of the virus
So when I go back to work in 2 weeks with over a thousand people do you really think I’ll be social distancing the whole time? Will I hell. It will be impossible for me to social distance. But that’s ok they are only from hundreds of different households. Not just the three we see in the pic.One picture is from the number 10 twitter account (yesterday), one from Rosie. Does that look like at least 1 metre distance to you?
No because the guidelines are all over the place. So people can fly of to another country in a air conditioned plane with hundreds of people but a woman can’t meet her sister and mum. Doesn’t that sound a bit ridiculous?I agree, I don’t think she shouldn’t have posted them going against the rules. If you’re going to do it at least don’t broadcast it to everyone.
Sadly it seems that lots of people aren’t bothering to follow the guidelines anymore.
A comfortable life has nothing to do with how somebody copes with it. You can have all the money in the world and struggle mentally. You can struggle with not being able to socialise normally, with not having the normality of visiting family members like you usually would (although she may have her mum there, that’s not the only relative she has.) She can struggle with the fact that they may have planned to move house and that’s not possible now because of the fact their tours aren’t happening.Has she not had or still has her Mum staying with her?! Doing pretty well compared to lots who haven’t seen their family. I know it’s not a competition but find it hard to feel sympathy with them when they have a very comfortable life. I enjoy the podcast but was a bit annoyed when listening to her moan that as tours had been cancelled they couldn’t move to a bigger house. Shame having to stay put and purchase a motor home instead!!
I’ve realised that it’s likely that people are defending her selfish rule breaking because they are justifying the fact that they’ve also been doing the exact same thing. Therefore you probably won’t convince them that what Rosie did was wrong because then they’d have to admit that they are in the wrongactually I think your midwife is perhaps glossing over the truth that the advice on *stringently* socially distancing has not changed. I’m also pregnant and an NHS worker, I have come off patient-facing work as a result as I cannot socially distance from patients and still see them face to face (cannot examine, consult within bed space etc). Pregnant women are vulnerable but they are not in the shielding category, they are a separate entity.
I know everyone is coming up with their own iteration of the rules, but sister/mother or not, Rosie, her mum and sister come from 3 households and under no rules in the British Isles can they huddle together for a photo like that. She sets a poor example. The fact someone is a close relation to you is irrelevant in whether you with catch/transmit COVID to them (if anything it is higher risk as you may spend more time together and get closer together)
Ironically, I didn’t know she was having a bad day, neither did anyone hard of hearing, because there were no captions . I would 100% defend family too. I’m just still shockedDefinitely Rosie herself or a family member ... lovely video of you drinking juice last week Rosie . Seriously when people actually support you , buy your book , subscribe to the podcast , buy tickets to shows and watch the inane shite you now post ( used to be relatable but not anymore ) maybe be a bit more gracious and stop to think that there is a reason why they are asking for captions
She’s pregnant you know..Clearly a sensitive little soul our Rosie
