Dont See Your Granny, You're Causing Covid...
31 Answers
Just DONT get it.
My home town of Stoke on Trent was in danger of been put into tier 4, thankfully that hasnt happened.
BUT can someone please explain the following rationale behind this...
I can go to work. Work that its impossible to socially distance from someone else. (My van mate aint going to sit in the back)
I then work in a (small) warehouse, where we pass each other constantly.. cant be helped.
We have (today alone) picked up from factorys, schools, churches ,supermarkets, a main shopping centre and other venues where thousands of other people were.
On top of this we have schools and other learning establishments open, retail, religious, factorys, etc and yet someone going to see their gran is causing Covid???
Why is seeing your own family more detrimental to health than businness?
Does Covid somehow discriminate between a business and family?
Sacrifice family but carry on shopping???

She's not in a home, shes at my sisters, so EVERYTHING to do with tiers.
*AND* I will see her Xmas day.
If Im allowed to mix with 100's of people a day then I will see my mum.
//But if you visit your mum you could pass the virus on to her//
And this is the mentality that I dont get
(and dont wish to sound rude either)
She's dying either way, virus or no virus.
Rather she had family around her than die lonely.

You're making a major mistake, nailit: you're trying to rationalise the nonsense. It makes no sense whatsoever for you not to see your Mum. You're quite right; she'd probably far rather die from Covid among her family than die from cancer alone. But try not to make sense of it as you'll drive yourself crackers. If your Mum was fit and well I dare say you'd make the decision between you whether or not you'd keep your distance. Unfortunately personal responsibility and discretion has been taken away from us - along with much else besides.
Nailit certainly see your side, one needs the wisdom of solomon to make the right choice and understand why. If it were my parent I'd certainly prefer they died of covid with me there than a drawn out death of cancer alone. I saw an ABer the other day (who shall remain nameless) say dying of covid was more horrible than dying of cancer. My mind boggled at the time.
The whole thing gets more and more shambolic, especially the tier changes - I mean today we see Hereford go back to 2 after a week or so in Tier 1 and the Isle of Wight go from 1 to 3 without stopping. It's almost like a board game.
