We have been shielding for almost 4 months sticking to the rules to avoid hurting ourselves and others, just as we are told its safer to go out doors not completely safe but reduced risk this sort of thing happens. There are a lot of asymptomatic people out there passing it on without knowing to people who will travel back home and pass it on to others family and friends some of whom will die. We wear masks and gloves and stay 2 meters away from even family who have been keeping us fed who also do the same to keep us safe. Two of my daughters are key workers, one caught the virus and was really ill another tested positive with no symptoms both isolated and because they were so careful kept it from their immediate families and us. It breaks my heart to think how much they have done to protect us and idiots who can`t respect the rules takes risks like this. It shouldn`t be advice it should be set in stone to protect all

I have been shielding with my immediate family for over 10 weeks and to be honest in his position I would have done the same to have my child safe. He didn`t treat it as a holiday stayed in isolation and only returned when he was safe to do so. There are more pressing concerns like the press not social distancing outside his home for instance. At today`s briefing I was really annoyed by the same question rephrased by the reporters that I turned it off when what I want to know is how long before I can go out and how I can do it safely not all this nit picking.

some of my children and grandchildren are in self isolating so unable to visit and my others are keeping a safe distance, I hope to be around for the next one rather than have visitors now

I am 71 my husband is 72 we both have health problems but we also have a 24 year old autistic grandson no way can we ask him to self isolate for 4 months with us and we have a dog to walk to be honest i would go stir crazy after a week. We have a caravan on the coast are we supposed to pay site fees and not visit it. We take all the precautions to safeguard ourselves and others but what will be will be I wish everyone good luck and good health stay safe

I would be happier if they closed schools and colleges early until after the Easter holidays my autistic grandson lives with us and attends college. We are both in our 70`s with COPD and other issues so if he brings it home we are in trouble the only saving grace is he doesn`t touch people and keeps his distance and doesn`t use public transport but it is a huge worry

I am 71 with COPD and my husband has this and diabetes too but we have an autistic grandson who attends college and volunteers at the local library so we happily carry on as normal, nobody lives forever so I am buying trifle and chocolate not toilet rolls :-)

I never read the newspapers anymore full of half truths and down right bigoted opinions anything to increase sales

look so warm and snuggly

I always shop at Morrisons good luck everyone

love these thank you

get my daughters round for a treat they are all Mums too :-)

actually I think it might be a good idea if its 50 years ago since you took a test things have changed a lot and not everyone keeps up to date with the new rules. In fact a gentleman I know was driving until last year hadn`t taken a test he got his licence from driving in the army. I learned to drive and passed my test when I was 47 and have driven daily locally and regularly on motorways for the last 23 years with only one bad accident not my fault. I would not object to taking a re test.

we could really use one of these mattresses

its getting silly now if the girls choose to take part I see no problem with it

This is a hard topic to approach I know from personal experience the pain of both life threatening illness and difficulty having a desperately wanted child. I have a younger friend who is struggling with the latter right now. As it happens I didn`t need IVF but she does and I wouldn`t want to be the one to have to say no to her because that would cause a life long pain. However I know she would be the first to pass up on her hopes and dreams to have the money spent on life saving treatments she raises money every year for Cancer Charities. I wish there was money for both.

I don`t know if its ageism more attitude towards me that I find annoying, things like when I went to pick up a hire car while my car was in for repair being told to be careful because the VW Golf was a big car mine was a 2 litre Turbo estate he was so condescending. Being called sweetheart in shops I hate that and treated like a cretin in computer shops. I may have grey hair and need a walking stick and look like a little old lady that doesn`t give people the right to treat me like a child.
