Coronavirus: Do British people still accept the lockdown?

"The country will soon enter its seventh week of the greatest curbs on daily life since
World War Two.

But many, according to the most recent polling data, say they would be uncomfortable leaving
home even if the government ordered the lifting of the restrictions in a month's time."

What about you, where do you stand on this, what are your comments?

Re: Do people still accept the lockdown?

I find that my daughters nag me, and treat me as a silly old B....r, if I even suggest venturing out.

If I do go out, for a bit of exercise, I am on a virtual lead and am pushed round others to keep my distances.

Can't help remembering how I treated my parents - exactly the same!

People who don't are seven kinds of bloody fools.

Re: Do people still accept the lockdown?

We are continually being told by our son and daughter not to venture outdoors, anything we want they will see to it for us.

We are in our 8th week of staying indoors as in going out the front gate. We have got used to it now but may feel different when the winter sets in as we won’t be able to go out in the garden then.

I do worry about our daughter, she hasn’t been in the best of health for a while now but she still forces herself out to do her shopping as well as looking after our granddaughter who also isn’t too well. She worries about our SIL who, after a major op 8 months ago, still has to go to work (engineering).

Re: Do people still accept the lockdown?

I don't like it much - but would rather stick to the rules than put either myself or others at risk.

Re: Do people still accept the lockdown?

Thankyou, that sums up my attitude perfectly

Hi

Exactly ST.

Us oldies are much more at risk, both to ourselves and those who have to deal with us.

A once a week shop at a quiet time of day is no great shakes to me.

I do miss my eating out, but that can be dealt with easily.

I will still see the Pretendies and they can have their McDonalds, but at home, not on the premises.

I will still have people round, cook for them, just not a houseful[.

I will still go on holiday, but sensibly.

Re: Do people still accept the lockdown?

That is how I feel too. I will take it steady & not risk it. I will still go shopping once a week & the rest of the time stay home. Until we are told this awful virus is no longer in Britain.

Re: Do people still accept the lockdown?

Yep, same here. However, we do have to make a trip into town tomorrow to pick up Val's meds because her GP cocked up again and put the wrong pharmacy on her prescription!
