Think yourselves lucky if you self isolate for 3 weeks and remain covid free, I spent most of the time since the begining shielding. I have had to occassionally go to get grocery items as i live alone. The only time i have felt safe to go out is while visiting my Ma in Gozo. at the moment there are 44 cases on the island mostly pensioners and the rules here are stricter than home 200 euro fine for not wearing a face covering or 100 if you pay on the spot. My friend who owns a Pizzeria and bar got a 3000 euro fine just because he went down his seller using a lift and as he came back out the seller he forgot to put his mask back over his face, the Covid inspectors had just entered the bar. Yet he sticks to every rule, If you are not wearing a face cover you also have to take a covid test, if it comes back positive the fine is 10'000 euro's.From today he can only serve food, no booze with it.
Back to shielding as said nearly 8 months of it. what i tend to do is listen to music a lot, a bit of Ps4 gaming, a few jobs round the flat, I also took in a pregnant cat after my Dog passed away and now have 5 of the buggers. they are good company, I also met a super woman just before covid lockdown and she has been a godsend and saved me from really struggling.
Covid fines as well as any fines are the wrong way to punish folks as they often effect kids by causing poverty. If someone breaks the rules the punishment should be something that helps folks ie going shopping for elderly neighbours, or lock them up . I feel locking them up would be more of a deterant because it makes sense baring in mind the main thing being moaned about is being locked down, why can't you stay home?. "Because i am bored " so lock em up and keep them off the streets.
I don't agree with grassing on folks but i will make comments about their stupidity to their faces.
