Coronavirus: Stay or go

Government guidelines say to self isolate and not to mix with other people.  With 7  in the household I am contravening the guideline.  People on this forum have already called me irresponsible, unthinking etc. and been quite rude.  I didn't ask for this I was just asking what I should do.  There was no need to be nasty.

You self isolate only if you have symptoms but you are allowed to share a house with others - that breaches nothing.

Otherwise, for those without symptoms, the advice is to employ social distancing by staying at home and not undertaking unnecessary journeys because that encourages the unwitting spread of the virus. You propose to fly in the face of that advice if you go away for a non-essential purpose.

I have seen no one be nasty to you but I have seen them dish out advice on responsibility and common sense in following the Govt guidance. If you ask the advice of others, I’m afraid you must take what comes on the chin.

Can't say that I have queued shoulder to shoulder with anyone at checkouts. We have always been separated by a trolley length.

Have not seen an official welsh Gov notice to keep away. However it should be so  and there will certainly be no welcome in the hillsides for anyone not local and heeding ALL the government warnings.

Possibly fake news, but reflects the hostility towards holiday makers arriving in Wales at present.

I can tell you for nothing that if I lived with a wife and were on front line services I would not wish my father of that age to have been under the same roof. OK, I could have installed him in our caravan on the storage are at the back of the drive at home and would have done so. Not Everybody has that option. The fact that the government lays out some general, or specific, guidelines does not remove the power from anybody to make their own decision in such a circumstance. No matter what those that cannot think for themselves may believe. 

I think every body is capable of thinking for themselves  ,,the problems come when they think,     that after the advise from those who are hoping to contain this terrible latest threat to our lives,,,   that it only applies to others, hence what made Boris do as he did and will I am sure,   be extended to other areas of "advise"that some still ignore

I would think in these very serious times , there will be hostility towards all those   who will add to the pressures locally  by ignoring official advise 

You will doubtless be nitpicked for using the term 'Self isolation' instead of the buzzwords 'social distancing' no matter. As an older person and possibly vulnerable then it is my view that rather than living in a household with several younger members exposed on a daily basis to the possibility of contracting the disease due to work etc that it makes perfect sense to isolate yourself from them despite what others may say. 

But like the food shopping hoarders we must not do it!

A lot is made on social media about food shopping hoarders. In reality according to information given at the last government press announcement yesterday the total additional expenditure amounts to less than £17 per head of population thus far. An industry spokesperson likened it to people having an extra week stock. I personally reckon that it worked out less. 

Our local SW news has just shown a caravan site owner who won't be opening up to visitors, they then showed a Haven Park who's chief officers think like the CAMC directors that's it's ok to keep open. Now that the Gov has asked that we all stay at home there is no reason to open caravan parks up for visitors except to keep the tills flowing. There is absolutely no other reason, we have 80 Coronavirus cases in the SW, a further group of deaths and it's increasing every day. Please stay away, give our emergency services, hospitals and patients a fighting chance.
