It really doesn't make sense , especially as you can socially distance within a house. There's no rhyme or reason behind it , as much as you want there to be.

Yes you can. Let's be honest though, people are less likely to distance themselves within the confines of their own home for practical and social reasons.

As @Nymzee said, there's many people who aren't adhering to the rules and when you combine that with the risk of infection increases while inside, well...

... it's not a good scenario. The rules aren't perfect and there are some anomalies (inconsistencies?), but you'd hope most people would see them in layman's terms.

In pubs and restaurants, there's accountability: the staff should ask you to comply and the setup facilitates it; at home, it's down to the people alone to adhere.

In a shop, there's strict numbers of people inside with regular cleaning and distancing; at home, who is enforcing this and does SD and cleaning task place?

I never said you can't social distance indoors I just suggested people are less likely to in private. Just go on Facebook, IG, anything and you'll see pics and videos of people you know hanging out with others not keeping the 2 metres. My own family and friends are terrible for it but there's no point saying anything to them.

I still think that is ludicrous to apply when business is perfectly fine.

I get that business has to be open , for their own livelyhood they have to be open. But it's half arsed if they just stop people seeing each other unless you are in the queue to buy some trainers. Or the fact you then can't go the pub with your friend/family but can do with a complete stranger?

It just doesn't make sense , despite it not being possible anymore you need to not pick and choose if you deem it an issue. That's what I think anyway.

I personally think trying to link these lockdowns to a minority group is racist.

So, yeah, some of you need to take a look at yourselves and the views you look to constantly make and defend.

Is the suggestion racial or cultural though?

I've not read through, just skimmed the last page but there are cultural differences to how families cohabit between cultures. I personally think the western/UK culture of putting parents in old people's homes is terrible. Having generations living together has many benefits but in this scenario increased numbers under one roof is associated with unfortunate risks.

I may have picked up the wrong end of the stick on the disagreement here o_O

Not even gonna bother with this. It's just so straightforward what they're asking of those areas.

Like I say, I can mingle with hundreds of complete strangers but in certain areas but not a family member?

The most silly thing about it is it's on the basis that I will go and infect that household by going there. Yet when I go to the Asda with their increased capacity now , could be like a hundred I'm crossing paths with depending on how long I'm in there.

There is far more risk at Asda than at a home. You have no idea if someone has it then or anything you touch is contaminated. Whereas going to a house it can be sterile essentially and combined social distancing rules with washing hands would be of no risk to anyone else.

I'm sorry but there isn't any logic in my mind. You can apply some logic but it doesn't mean it's sensible.

I've visited friends recently and sat in the garden , away from them and had a lovely time. Not because I thought they were sick but just to adhere to the process. I've been in a family house recently and again , just consciously kept a slight distance. It isn't difficult to do that , even if you don't believe there is a risk to you.

It's removing common sense from the thought process surely? That people are that stupid that they can't understand the pandemic , but by ignoring the logic for pubs and shops it doesn't make sense deep down.
