Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

I know accidents can happen at any time, but if people stayed at home there is a lesser risk of these happening and taking up NHS resources surely?
I can give 2 examples - one of my golfing pals, slipped on the golf course walking down a slope off a green, serious knee damage, required an operation.
A great grandmother was taken by her granddaughter to see her grandchild. Whilst there, she fell and was hospitalised. In Tier 4, all those involved weren’t following the rules and believed “it wouldn’t happen to them”.

In that case you shouldn't stand on a chair to change a light bulb, hold onto the banister when walking down the stairs...... You get the gist.
 
Coastal area in Tier 4 here. Lots of moans (me included) about the large amount of people travelling here for the day.

I however did not travel miles inland to go and play in the snow this weekend unlike lots of people from here. They fail to see they are doing what they are moaning about others doing:mad:

Changing the light bulb might be essential.....?
Especially if it stops you tripping over in the dark.

If you want proof of what I’m saying, just take a look at the ”likes” and try and work out the political beliefs of those posting the said ”like”.

Not really a 'toe in the water' in deciding political allegiances. Many 'Likes' are more a 'Et tu Brute' by a poster who has previously disagreed with someone ?
 
Moving house is another example

Over road is up for rent now I think or maybe for sale again

Anyways all day people in and out. No gap between visits
 
Whilst most on here seem to have the common sense to set their own restrictions, lower or well within the permitted guidelines,I do think the guidelines/restrictions/rules etc need to be absolutely clear and unambiguous and set at the appropriate level.

I see no benefit in the farcical situation, as was the case at Christmas, in setting out guidelines, permitting (limited) household mixing, but then stressing that people should ideally not mix. Don't rely on people to exercise such discretion. The general public, or at least a significant element, will read the guidance and say OK, that's permitted, we can do that. Quite a few on here have said that they will stop playing golf in the forthcoming "lockdown", but we all know that many golfers will see that it is permitted and carry on as the guidelines allow it (assuming they do).
