So, GN members, what do you think of this!

I very much doubt that "thousands are dying because of the behaviour of people like this". Possibly their behaviour makes some difference, but not enough for the rest of us to turn into snitchers and squealers. I think there's enough good "herd" behaviour for us to sigh and move on when we see stuff like this.

That said, I find it surprising someone who works in a care home doesn't understand.

Let sleeping dogs lie.
This is your neighbour after all & you don’t want frostiness when all this is over.
Yes, it’s wrong. Very much so. But there will always be idiots. You can’t fix stupid.

Kalu, what a good, sensible and sympathetic post. So many posters seem to feel that we should all become like the people were in Nazi Germany, taking a sheer delight in spying on and reporting their neighbours.

You know I think a lot of people are quietly ignoring the supposed lockdown (and compared to other countries this is NOT lockdown). So many cars around today, they cant all be key workers,
I think honestly the guidelines have been muddled you need to be clearer è.g. Same household some people clearly e take to mean same family.

We are all aware there is something we can do but as no one knows what personal troubles some of us are dealing with ie; depression, please be aware any haranguing to do the right thing could well exacerbate the troubles some posters are having to deal with during this very difficult period.

And there is something you can do - you can speak to them or call the police.

Well said SirChenjin

Why shouldn’t others be concerned/angry/frustrated by others who refuse to help stop this virus spreading? They are endangering the lives of others - thousands are dying because of the behaviour of people like this.

What others do isn't worth worrying/bothering about. There's now't you can do about it so just ignore and pretend you haven't seen or heard anything.

Wrong, obviously, but people seem to have differing views when it comes to their family, a ‘oh, we’re ok, it’s family’ attitude.

Wrong - so, so wrong. Why are people not getting this? It’s not as if they’re being told to develop their own vaccine out of household ingredients - all they have to do is stay indoors, have a daily walk in the immediate neighbourhood, don’t mix households, wash hands, go as infrequently as possible to the shops for essentials.

Those of us who have managed to grasp this incredibly simple information will be the ones who help to bring down the rate of infection and stop the NHS from becoming overwhelmed. Perhaps herd immunity refers to creating immunity within society to allow for stupid?
