Possible blocker on touring for the elderly?

Does the article from the paper in question not use terms such as "could be asked to" and "possible measures"

In my book pure speculation from a newspaper with little actual fact to back it up. As ever the press and media spend too much time expressing opinions or speculating and too little time reporting actual news.

We feel the same about going away.  We have done one trip to a non facility site, it was surprisingly busy but we had no issue keeping away from others and felt quite safe.  We met our family in a local NT parkland, all with little contact with others.  In September, and hopefully October, we aim to be away to other no facilities sites, where we will do our ‘own thing’ hobbies etc, but away in the caravan for a change of scene.  Hopefully we can take enough food to avoid much shopping.  We will have days out with a picnic in the moors and other quiet areas, which we have been doing from home anyway.  I think, sadly, winter maybe long and hard Covidwise so a couple of breaks now will help. 

 

 

 

Quite simple if I am advised I make my own decisions as to what I consider safe. 

As an example we went round to our neighbour last week for tea and cake and a couple of hours natter. We sat apart in the garden on a hot day. If advised I would make the same decision. Although in that instance I might well do the same regardless as for me nothing would really change. Trips out have been to shop, pick stuff up at garden centres or B&Q. Where I shop social distancing is being practised as it was in lockdown here in Wales. In lockdown I still shopped. So for me little change of consequence. 

My eldest and her boyfriend will visit later this morning. Me and Fliss will sit outside to talk with them, socially distanced which I would do regardless of any age related order. As we are not mingling with the public nothing would change in reality with regard to risk.

Yes agreed. But the fact is the age vulnerability still exists so anyone in this group will have to be more covid aware.

ET, but this isn’t all about you & your little world. It’s the bigger picture. I believe the Govt will use the impose option to aim at the lowest common denominator. Govts don't aim at folk with common sense who will do what’s best for them & the wider world they aim at the ones who look for ‘wriggle room’ In everything they view as stopping or changing their lives I’m afraid🤷🏻‍♂️☹️.

During the lockdown period here in Wales I went around to my recently widowed neighbour to advise on some matters and also pond planting and drainage issues. For anybody widowed for 3 months I would do the same. We socially distanced

On the contrary it is all about me and my little world which is indeed, at present, very small 

The only consequential imposition would be not meeting up outside. I would do as I felt morally right, still distancing. 

 

Did anybody raise their hands David. 

I beg to differ ET. The Govt is looking at This country’s whole inhabitants & their well-being not just your household. To bring it down to you is not what the thread is about.
