So annoying - grrrr! I have a close relative who changes their bubble every few weeks (or max few months) to suit - eg: at Xmas they stayed with their (changed) bubble for around 3 weeks.... and then left and went home and made their other bubble for another 2/3 weeks - then went back to the Xmas bubble... then back to the other... and so on.... makes me so cross. And they are a clinically vulnerable person!!!! Beggars belief! Mind you - the others in the bubbles are complicit, so just as bad imo

It is just so blatant!  and it seems to be the majority of people here. Which is why Leicester is back at the top of the Covid League for new cases.  Just in time for the kids to go back to the school.  But at least now they will be tested twice a week and the real rates of asymptomatic disease can be seen and tracked.

In some ways (not many) I am actually dreading no longer being able to justify wearing a mask.  I have got into the habit of muttering under my breath things like bl***y idiot & people will be able to tell what I am saying.  I do say thank out loud when people give me space so I'm not a total ignoramus.

It will be a while until I stop wearing a mask in public places like shops.

Definitely going to be wearing a mask for the foreseeable future.  There are still far too many cases happening all over the country.  

The changing bubble thing really annoys me too but that case is even worse with the 250 mile round trip, definitely bending the rules to suit themselves.  I have a neighbour who has been visiting both her nan and her partner's father regularly throughout the lockdown, they're out most of the day every day.  Some people just don't care unfortunately.  I just stay away from them.

People don't need to see my mouth move, my eyes / eyebrow says enough anyway. Though at least i don't have to bother smiling at people with a muzzle on.

When I do nursery pickup, I'm always annoyed by people who rip their masks off at the first opportunity, hang around in the car park chatting and ignore social distancing.  I make a big point of queuing way more than 2m away from anyone and walk a huge way around anyone.

How the nursery has had no cases at all is a miracle.  You'd think they'd be a bit more sensitive since I am obviously pregnant, but apparently it makes no difference.

I think a lot of nurseries have no cases because the kids are asymptomatic.  Still no testing for primary school kids either, but I have just had an email from the secondary school to say that any adult in a household with a primary or secondary school or college age child should be taking a tests twice a week, as well as the older kids in school having their weekly tests.

The school has just sent us details of everywhere locally we can pick up a box of 7 tests (per adult in the household) and we have all  been asked to use them.   At least they finally seem to be taking it seriously - even if some of the teachers still do not believe it exists.

lovely kindred folk here.   I am totally shocked at the number of people bending rules for their own expediency when so many are sacrificing for the greater good.  I cried watching the news tonight as a lady was reunited with her father in a care home and he justin burst into tears of relief and joy.  we are meant to be in this together...if we all played by the rules I am sure we would all have been through this by now.  vent over....

It's exactly the same at the supermarket!  People take off their mask the moment they walk out of the shop.  I always leave mine on until I am back in the car, sanitise my hands and then take my mask off.
