You can also have both a support bubble and a childcare bubble. So for instance we have my wife's best friend for a support bubble as she is a single mum of a 7 year old and has no family (except a Dad who's in a care home with dementia) then we are also in a child car bubble with the in laws so that they can have the kids over at theirs every now and again (their choice not ours)
Yep if it's them looking after your kids while you work etc, fine but only you or your Mrs should drop them off or collect them individually. If it's just for them to see your kids, it shouldn't be happening and they/you are running a risk of them catching it, from your kids or you. Remember under 16s mainly don't have any symptoms what's so ever, but pass it either to you or your older family members, it's also possible you or your Mrs is asymptomatic too. The virus is spreading because
people are spreading it, it's
not spreading it's self, many are just in denial of this fact. Someone known to me, was doing what your doing, his mums now sadly died
Not a risk worth taking in my book.
But on the note of the lockdown, I took my kids down the seafront for our daily walk and it was packed! May aswell gave been the middle of the summer. Roads aren't really any emptier either.
Yep twats
I read on the news about how the Gov is moaning that more and more people are bending the rules but honestly what do they expect. After nearly a full year of restrictions People are sick to death of it all. I honestly don't know anyone that supports these restrictions or think they work and the vast majority of people would rather just be left to get on with it.
Sure and more, possibly someone you know or care about
will die or be seriously buggered for sometime or the rest of their life. I totally support these current restrictions, I for one think there not strong enough. I want this virus beat, to achieve that we've got to step up and get on with it.
I think the disillusion is starting to set it with even the strictest of people because it feels like you can't win. You follow the rules, don't see your family, lose all your savings... and yet you still get locked down.
We can win and would be if twats didn't keep bending and breaking the rules. That said, the government hasn't and isn't helping, with too little, too late and mixed messaging. If you're one of the 3m ish that went self employed less than a year before this started, then yes it's hard, unfair and the government should be doing far more to help you/them. If you're just furloughed you should be fine, providing you wasn't living beyond you means and not declaring income. Not seeing our families is disappointing but a necessary tool to fight the virus. I've not seen my lads for well over 8 months and if it keeps going probably another 8 months, but the longer I do the safer they and I am and if we all had the same attitude this virus will get beat sooner rather than later. We have a 2 choices, both are different levels of a shit sandwich, one ends got a lot more shit, i.e. give in more die, NHS get flattened, it goes on longer and longer, economy crashes lot of shit end or follow the advice and we get out of it little shit end? All the winging, complaining, rule bending is futile the virus doesn't care and will kill regardless.
Like it or not there's is
no other choices, take your pick.
So you may as well have ignored it all and did what you wanted.... you'd be in the same position now either way
But alive and not possibly damaged
On the plus side if the infection keeps spreading the way it is we will have all had it by the end of winter. Heard immunity achieved and the government can make some money sleeing off all the vaccines to poorer countries
As far as they know you don't get any immunity, herd or otherwise many have had the virus multiple times. I know people who work NHS front line who have and they tell me colleges of theirs have died or were/are seriously ill after catching it a second/third time.
Yes it's crap, yes it's unfair, yes I don't like it, but none of us have much choice beyond the 2 stated above.
