No political discussion in this topic. That is complaining about a country, a politician, a party and/or its voters, etc

What's the craic in Belarus? I can't see many reports on them at all. 

Work with a bunch of folks in Minsk (In IT) and they all work at home, but they do not speak about coronavirus. (At all)

Wow. 

 

There has been a lot of this judgemental 'do as I say not as I do' happening over the past couple of months on all levels so this isnt that surprising at all sadly.

Don`t let "the social media outrage" get you like it did @StanSP

 

Maybe its time people realised it is actually not ok to lambast other people because of some spiteful or ill informed message on social media?

That post from social media slating that women who drove to the beach you shared.

It was inaccurate and scaremongering (by the person who tweeted it, so I queried the sharing of it)

Maybe I just don`t get social media

I find it very curious that there's barely been anything written about Belarus for a month.

What's the inaccuracy? 

 

They drove 1.5hrs. To be on a beach. Then she complains that there's so many people there. What did she want/expect? Empty beach? As if she's not part of the problem by being there herself and travelling so far to be there. :dunno:.

 

Failing to see the scaremongering too?

She complained about lack of social distancing evident from people, not the amount of people. That is a big difference.

Her complaint falls on deaf ears here.  If she's complaining about a lack of social distancing, don't put yourself in a position where you're likely to be finding yourself in a place where social distancing is difficult to manage in the first place.

 

All comes back to this whole you're safer at a park than in someone's back garden idea.  You're at the mercy of others in public places who often do not exhibit common sense particularly in a popular visiting area.  Stay in a garden with sensible people who you know you can trust.

Maybe, and common sense would have been advisable, but she is not doing anything remotely illegal or differing from hundreds of others. (Which I get it kinda the point)

But, lambasting her on social media as some form of pariah says more about the poster than her I would argue.

But the principle of going to a beach, travelling 1.5hrs to do so, appears to bypass you? Yes it's not illegal but it's hardly essential travel is it?

That's not "a thing" anymore though is it? The government has said people can drive to places, beauty spots, etc. :dunno:

I get the argument that perhaps it should be, but its not anymore.

Or did I totally make that up....  :unsure:

Therein lies the confusion we all made comments about a couple weeks back. 

 

It is a 'thing'. People are allowed to go to beauty spots but are also being told to stay at home as much as possible...

Anyone know the official line from the Government on moving house. I understand you can now do so, but you couldn't before. We are in a slightly different situation as we are moving into my in laws house as ours is having an extension built and it won't be livable (no kitchen bathrooms etc) It states not to socialise with anyone outside of your current household, but do we become part of their household when we move in??

 

Can't get a definiative answer anywhere, if anyone can help I'd appreciate it. Worst comes to the worst both ouseholds will self isolate for 2 weeks befre we move in.

Surely the first two weeks after moving in would be better.

I mean you're putting them at risk by moving in with them. Your issue isn't really related to moving house is it, you are asking if you can move in with your in-laws. Of which the answer is no don't be stupid (sorry to be blunt).

Why is that? I don't want to go into their house if one of us had it unknowingly I guess is my point

That isn't my question, I'm asking what are the rules around it and whether we should self isolate before? Not your opinion of whether you think it is stupid. 

 

Also - what is the difference between us living there and a family of 4 living in the same household? I am WFH and we go shopping once a week, and follow the rest of the rules.

It's not my opinion is it? It is stupid, as a fact.

 

If you insist on being stupid, isolate 2 weeks before moving in with them. The government advice (as of now) would be no you shouldn't do that no matter how long you isolate before.

Are you normally self righteous or just sometimes...this pretty much sums up the whole issue around this Virus

OK - as asked in my first question, can you point me to where they have said that?
