HanoiVillan Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 First of all, this is quite twee . . . . . . but also, isn't 'playing the victim their favourite song' the kind of thing that suggests the patient is quite sick and not just 'remaining there as a precaution'?

Like you, we're lucky - decent garden, relatively low population density and rural walks accessible on foot from our door. If you live in a high density city centre type area, with (say) a small park nearby, what are you going to do? It really comes to something when we're considering the virtues of punishing people for going out for a family walk. I know these are exceptional times but still.

I’m not sure we’d have performed much better in the same circumstances. Edit: but if my neighbours had 20 people round for a BBQ session I’d probably be tempted.

mrbojangles Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 1 hour ago, snowychap said: It's a tricky answer, I think. Would two people from the same household doing something in a private (though shared) outdoor space be against the regulations? No, I don't think so. Is there a potential for problems to arise? Yes. Though you say that nobody uses the area, could you guarantee that nobody would use it when you are using it such that no 'gathering' would occur? If no, e.g. someone else from one of the other flats would come outside, too, and you'd be unable to keep to distancing, &c. then you would, I guess, be in danger of creating some sort of gathering. And on a point that I mentioned previously to HV, I think you might want to consider where it could lead. Yes, no one may use it now but if you go out and have a BBQ tonight then others might think that's a good idea and be doing that tomorrow lunchtime and night and the next day and perhaps you might get in to a situation where either the space is too crowded or issues arise with some sort of de facto first come takes priority assertion of ownership of the area. If it's a smallish block, you know your neighbours and can check with them then it might be worth doing so in advance. You could all come to some sort of rota arrangement or at least some sensible guide as to how you each use the area (all agree not to be out there for too long & so on). Yeah there are only 6 flats so think we may check in with them. 2 of them are elderly and never really went outside before this. the grass is quite wide and surrounds the building so not an issue with space to be fair. I do get the point on others seeing though and following suit. Like I say as a pair we have been really sensible but i need to do something, facetime my lad every day from a previous relationship. I know the rule is I am allowed to have him however I dont want to take any risks with him at all. Just feel like i need to get in the sunshine at least for a little bit, like I say I am now in my 4th week and its only the last day or so I have developed cabin fever. I think the lack of social contact is starting to get me down now as well. My Grandpa died from it last week and he lived up North, the worst part of it all is no one was allowed to visit my gran as she had to self isolate due to him having it. No one could give her a hug and only 8 people are allowed to the funeral. This disease really is horrid 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if there are only those number of flats then you could possibly try to make it in to some sort of socially-distant social event, I suppose. On the walk I usually take, I go past a number of houses with balconies/outside terraces on an uphill road who are naturally about 3/4 metres away from each other at their closest (due to the incline) and a number of them were sat outside having a good chinwag with each other with a beer/glass in hand. I don't see why it would/should be any different just because there isn't a property boundary in between you.

This disease really is horrid Contact's a difficult one - balancing what's in the best interests of children physically, emotionally and mentally. Unenviable choice to have to be making on top of others. Sad to hear about your Grandpa and the situation with your Gran. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree with this. People are ALREADY beginning to go out and about like usual. In 2 weeks it will be worse. I live next to a busy cross roads on the way into Leicester. For around 4 days everything was quiet. Now everything is going back to normal. Im personally happy for "over the top" restrictions, policing and penalties as long as it brings the date we can go back to normal closer. It really grates me that my kids are stuck in our small house, but some selfish **** think it's OK to go out and about as normal. This will only increase the time that most people will live under restrictions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
