Your get together might have happened but that last bit do not believe it for a bit. You and your family can't be that removed or oblivious to what your sister goes through day in day out.

If you are she need to move out and get somewhere that she is respected

She did indeed.

I mean realistically economics aside, its 5 weeks of lazying about doing whatever you like,

Thats a ridiculous statement and it proves some posters are much more reclusive in social habbits than others.

Personal freedom has been removed in ways never seen in this country

Does your sister who is a nurse regularly go into different houses as well? She's being completely irresponsible, however small you may write the chance off as being.

Imagine if every household in the country who has a frontline worker in it met up for an Easter dinner. Our health service would undoubtedly be crippled. The best you can hope for is that you don't start showing symptoms in the next two weeks.

Thank you.

I actually had some family over for dinner yesterday (not a huge gathering, 5 of us in total) and it quite surreal/funny.

My sister is a nurse and didn't want to take any chances so she sat out in the hall shouting in at us. Any time she annoyed us we just closed the door on her, it was great, might be an idea going forward :-)

My god. People simply won’t follow guidelines for a few weeks - is it really that difficult for a few weeks to do what you’ve been asked to do? The fact your sister is a nurse and isn’t following guidelines is outstanding particularly as she’ll be dealing with vulnerable people

Oh the horror, ive got to watch my favorite programs, get to go out for a walk run every day, do shopping, eat my favorite food.. have internet and a vast amount of ways to keep Entertained, can phone any of my friends for a chat..

Absolute freedom denied, how will we ever make it thru 3 more weeks of this... i tell ya they had it easy in ww1 and ww2.. we are the real greatest generation! this really is hell on earth!

The only thing it proves is some people in this generation are soft as **** and any bit of "hardship" breaks them

Your right they have but for most we think for a good reason. From the 5th we will see phased relaxation with social distancing, pubs and restaurants (who can separate people) will be one of the last with travel been last

I can read it another way as giving the nurse a break from all the turmoil if working in a hospital and would expect they need to raise their spirits up by any means.Social distance and would expect protocol to be followed.:):)

Calling to people’s houses is what we’ve been asked not to do

No all guildlines were met, as much as possible anyway

You're hiding indoors because you're scared of a virus that is less dangerous than taking a 9-mile drive in a car.

Savage dinner in fairness though :-)

Will ongoing social distancing still ean family members can’t see one another?

If you ‘had people over for Easter’ who are not living in your home guidelines were not met. I’m sorry your family have gone though a difficult time but if you are having social gatherings you are putting people at risk

You do know they didnt stay at home during the world wars, people continued to work and try to live a normal life. You do know not everyone can afford these luxuries. Honest question will you still enjoy all this if it goes on for months.

Gonna go against the grain here.

I think a family that has lost someone in the last month having dinner together while taking a high degree of precaution is understandable. Yes, they're breaking the guidelines, but they're human - this isn't an eejit driving half way round the country for a trampoline, it's a grieving family trying to get through a difficult time.

Still think most of us should be following the guidelines as closely as possible, but there has to be some allowance for humanity.

I have gone from believing Huntergonzo with a great imagination to stoke up the fire to now its a full figment to stoke up the fire and like myself are falling for it

Most of us aren't enjoying it now, we just apparently have a higher degree of tolerance for difficult situations.

My housemate has a friend or two over every day. Two of them were out gardening on Friday. Pisses me off. They're just gone out for a walk now laughing away. I'll have to go downstairs in a min to make dinner and breath the diseased air and wipe the surfaces. I'll pick it up from them eventuality. Had several chats with her and she nods away im agreement. Sent her texts she should implementing social distancing. Earlier today she sends me a text saying she's staying in today as if she deserves a medal. Now she's out with her friend again.

Listen I understand what you're saying and I genuinely appreciate your consolences, you're the only one who even bothered offering them, others were too busy calling me an idiot and a **** (whatever that is).

We had 1 small gathering (of people who we see most days anyway) in lieu of a months mind and we'll be having no more. It's something my mother deperately wanted so we did it.

We all sat well apart and my sister sat in a different room, not ideal, I absolutely accept that but we needed something at this time, and there'll be no more until restrictions are lifted.

I was sarcastically comparing our current "hardships" to that of world wars.. not that they stayed at home i thought that would be obvious,

I mean if you cant afford basic shopping and internet or to go for a run... i think the virus is the least of your worries, but for the vast majority complaining, im guessing they can since they are on boards

im not exactly jumping for joy at the announcement of the lockdown, theres plenty id rather be doing but i understand that the lockdown is for the best, and just get on with it.

As a nation we are actually so privileged.. most people have good internet nice houses cars, and a vast array of tech and yet we still have people whinge they ve to stay in for a little while.

That's fair enough but they seem to be showing little or no empathy to the people finding this tough, people who have lost their businesses, people who dont know how they will pay their bills and rents when this is over.

You mean like me? I'm self-employed and so far I've lost 40-50% of my income. That's just so far, probably worse to come. It's wrong of you to think people who are in favour of the lockdown aren't being negatively impacted by it.

I am sure some are doing it I had to go home to my father but we stayed apart from each other and the place was cleaned. The reason I am not believing that story was due to the sister bit

If I had my way I would never work another hour in my life or have to socialise with another human.

The post I replied to was about how easy the lockdown was, just sit at home and eat fancy food and lounge around. Did this post not piss you off.

What are you finding hard to believe and why?
