Household visits
I feel that restrictions imposed on indoor household visiting are completely unrealistic, unreasonable and horrific for family/ friendship relationships and, therefore, hugely damaging for the longterm mental health of society. It doesn’t make sense that we can only have outdoor meet ups with our family and closest friends outdoors in the wet, cold weather. If we have to meet up in cafes or bars we are mixing with strangers and this is unsafe and decidedly not relaxing. We are safer in our homes where we can safely distance while having the company of those we love. We need family and friends around us at this most difficult time.
This whole situation in which we find ourselves is divisive and dangerous.
I would implore the Government to allow us to meet with at least 6 people from 3 household ( children excluded from numbers).
It seems to me that most people are basically decent and sensible and would not abuse such a rule.
If there were some ignoring the guidelines by having large house parties earlier during the pandemic, these ARE NOT REPRESENTATIVE of the population.
Why the contribution is important
This is extremely important as family and close human ties are are the heart of civilised society. To deprive us of this will be hugely damaging for mental health and relationships. This damage will continue long after the pandemic. People are becoming depressed and some may die. This affects ALL age groups.
People need each other especially for support at this time and indeed for help with problems in life that are not COVD related. Unfortunately there is not enough importance applied to the family unit by current regimes. This will be devastating for many.
Why would we be allowed to board a plane with many strangers but not be permitted to sit with our family in our own home.?
