Nope, its roughly the same I think!

I was just saying to my sister that my mum seems to have reverted to a child-like state, where she is choosing to interpret things in terms of what 'you are allowed' to do, and stretching them to suit herself. 'You are allowed' to go to the pharmacy, so it's ok to 'just' go to the one a bit further away where there are more shops, which is what her neighbours were doing, apparently. Similarly, she saw on the news that builders 'were allowed' to work, so long as they kept apart etc, and this man was on his own, so it was ok. It's like she can't conceptualise any more, and needs a list of rules to refer to.Edith Bacon wrote: ↑Wed Mar 25, 2020 2:48 pmI cannot understand why people aren’t doing what they have been told.
Because the world has changed out of all recognition in an incredibly short space of time, it's scary, it's surreal, it's ripping people away from routines, from their loved ones, from a basic sense of liberty that hasn't ever been challenged in their lives. I'm not saying it's right, and people who've managed to comply without hesitation are to be commended of course, but I do understand why people seem to be having immense amounts of trouble 'doing what they're told'.Edith Bacon wrote: ↑Wed Mar 25, 2020 2:48 pm I cannot understand why people aren’t doing what they have been told.
It isn't of course, but a lot of people don't process their feelings in a crisis (or ever) in a logical way. They rail, they argue, they try and twist the rules. Many of us here are even doing it in small ways. We're all struggling to catch up.Edith Bacon wrote: ↑Wed Mar 25, 2020 3:47 pm I can totally understand people being upset about this enormous disruption to their lives - I get that, I feel that and I really do understand it. But people can be upset and still do the right thing; being upset isn’t a free pass to spread death around.
