The bottom line is 'are people using common sense?' I'm sure some are but equally some are complete nobs and have no concept of 'common sense'. This is irrespective of whatever the Government have said to a large extent.
Bournemouth beach today it's like spot the sand as it's that busy....... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...rowds-hitting-parks-beaches-79F-heatwave.html
just this really. There is no such thing as society writ large. Still probably be the fault of immigrants somehow.
Whilst it's not law people will continue to pack out beaches knowing nothing can be done to them by the police.
We're booked to go to Robin Hood's Bay in July, though I love the place I'm extremely worried about going due to cramped streets and beach. Can't see us getting a refund with government's current policy of opening everything.
I can understand that. I would have gone to the east coast next month but haven't changed the date yet as whilst social distancing is in place I don't think it would feel like a holiday with restrictions in place and Scarborough is a pain for narrow streets. Blackpool with their wide open promenade could be a option down the line.
We cancelled Cayton Bay. Due to go to the caravan in Skeggy in August. Same principal as you. I'm sure I fancy a week looking over my shoulder paranoid about whose been touching what. How will the arcades go on with slot machines? Will they be sterilised? I'd like to know I'm sticking it in a clean penny slot.
Do you do the same when shopping? Or do you just pick up the tin of beans and stick it in the trolley? This constant paranoia and heightened sense of fear over catching a virus rather the actual virus is not good for anyone. As long as you look after yourself and maintain a level of cleanliness satisfactory to you then stop worrying.
Yeah I can't fault Park Dean there. Full refund 40 odd days after your booking, change the date or voucher. I just don't fancy a restricted holiday where you can't relax. You can go somewhere and get two hours parking, but then it takes you most of that time to get in somewhere so what's the point. Social distancing will kill retail and restaurants and other industries. Arcades will be a pain with probably every other machine or seat taped over. Those in the change booth won't be used it will just be the change machines to help yourself.
I’m doing the same with the shopping, yes. All shopping gets quarantined for 3 days except things that need to go in the fridge which gets washed before being put away. I don’t know what you mean about being afraid of catching it rather than afraid of it. That’s the same thing. That’s like saying don’t look both ways before crossing a road otherwise that makes you scared of being run over rather than the effects of being run over. The actions I’m taking are looking after me in a way I find satisfactory.
I know this sounds like a dig, and it genuinely, genuinely isn’t - but are you not worried about your mental health or how you’ll get back to normal after taking measures like that to ‘quarantine’ your shopping? In your road example, it’s actually more prescient to say that you won’t cross the road until you’ve set up a makeshift roadblock at both ends of the road in order to guarantee no vehicles will travel down it.
All dry goods go in the little bedroom for a week or so. Any fridge or freezer goods get washed with disinfectant. People are skanks - how many in normal times use the supermarket toilets, don't wash their hands then pick up loose fruit, bread, etc? I think of it like crossing the road at traffic lights - it might be green, but you always look both ways to make sure the traffic is stopped and it is safe to go.
The virus on surfaces gets weaker hourly. I wash my hands well after a shopping trip, after ive put the shopping away, before making food , before eating food. Haven't wiped anything or quarantined anything.
