Here's a little timeline of a vulnerable neighbour

Friday
Him vulnerable. I have underlying medical conditions and feel like I've been sacrificed because they've told me I can't have my daily nurses and checks at the moment due to shortages. I'm in my 70s, with a heart condition, long condition and poor immune system and I feel like they've told me I'm not important because of my age. Doctors have told me I have to be really careful. And to make matters even if I wanted to I've been told I can't risk anything because if I don't die it would be even worse for my disabled wife with severe health problems.
Me: ok well if you need anything at all just should I'll get you anything.

Monday
Me: *looks out of window*. Sees neighbour sat on wall chatting in a group with his wife and elderly friends.
Me: *keeps Looking* sees them all leave in a group for a walk.

No wonder we're all going to be locked in for months

Ps obviously most of it is paraphrased however the phrase "I feel like I've been sacrificed" is word for word.

 

If you report him quick enough perhaps they'll shoot him on the spot and not bother with the gulag.

 

Do you think he's being responsible in going out and specialising?

 

That's for him to decide. I refuse to pass judgement on it. Would I in his position? No. But if you're asking me to side with an old bloke going for a walk with his wife and friends over a curtain-twitching busybody such as yourself then I'm sorry but it's your neighbour every time.

 

It’s not for him to decide, actually. That’s the point.

He and his wife are putting their social life above the NHS and lives of many others and that’s not acceptable. He’s the exact reason the measures had to be introduced.

 

I am not surprised to see this childish, selfish attitude from the above poster, but it does need clarifying for those finding themselves agreeing: it is absolutely not up for the individual to decide. Say one person in this collection of walkers has it and is asymptomatic, the lot of them don’t seem too fussed about behaving sensibly so I expect they will be out at the supermarket much closer than the safe (2m) distances (which seems to be everyone when I go to the supermarket!!) and pass it on to a series of people doing their permitted weekly shop, who pass it onto their families who have behaved safely and properly isolated but still become infect. But you’re right pal. The ‘curtain twitchers’ are the problem. People like the above are why this isolation is going to go on a lot longer than it needs to.

 

I repeat, it is for him to decide. I’m aware of the law and if you read again I’ve told you what I would do.

 

Explain please.

 

Of course it is. It’s his choice if he decides to break the law.

 

In what subject?

It's systematic of the YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO brigade.

Some people, whether through a lack of intelligence or through sheer pig headed ignorance refuse to do what has been asked of them. Some people just want to look 'ard.

"If I want to go out I'll go out"

This is why this lockdown will go on for a good while yet.
