Middlesbrough

We live in a small village and everyone is doing the good deeds and staying isolated. Now there is a holiday cottage 2 doors down from us. The owners have turned up from Southampton, we are near Middlesbrough. Either side if them are elderly couples. So dilemma is, do we report them. Are we being snitches etc for doing so?

Any help is appreciated

If you know for sure they have travelled from Southampton - call the local police.

It sounds like they think they are excluded from the rules that everyone else is abiding by.

They've turned up very recently? I suppose really they shouldn't but but seeing as they have they shoulstay in for 14 days just in case. If they don't do that and you see them popping to the shops potentially spreading anything they've brought up with them then, yeah, I think I'd report.

NO do not report them. We do not need this sort of behaviour from our neighbours and community.

If they were throwing parties every night then that's different.

They may feel safer in their village, mental health reasons etc.

One elderly couple pose very little threat to you.

The last thing we need now is a police state where people are turning against each other and reporting minor situations.

It's important for us to realise what is risk and what is not at the moment.

Ah yes. I see I read that wrong. Still I feel it poses little threat in the scheme of things if everyone is still isolating. It's probably more risky going to the shop than having a couple decide to change their location.

I'm sure the police have far more pressing things to be dealing with regarding lock down instructions.

Stupid question. I don't know if you can get COVID-19 again once you have caught it. I am assuming you can't because the what the hell is herd immunity about. If you are immune, can you still pass it on?

Because if we are going to have an increasing population of people who are immune to the virus do they need to be keeping away from everyone. Just asking...

They shouldn't be able to be infectious, but if they touch a surface that has some virus on it then they could spread it onto something or someone but if they wash their hands before touching say shopping for an old person then no they aren't a risk to others

I’d advise against reporting them. (As long as they’re not now doing something that is putting others at extreme risk)

The police are busy, won’t send anyone to speak to them as it then risks the cops getting it, and it’s a waste of time them investigating it. I’d try not to worry and concentrate on staying safe and positive. Good luck

I agree with this I think

I dont need to virtue signal become all shouty and condemn them to death

I think they did wrong

I have stayed away I'd have preferred it if they had too

Now in answer to the OP

What good can come from reporting them ?

You will get extra brownie points on social media that's for certain

However

Risk wise they pose no more than they did at home maybe even less now their journey is over

If the police are informed 2 things

One they will be taking precious resources away from more important matters (open to debate )

Two if the police did go to visit then ABSOLUTELY contamination risk increases

And that would be tragic

Be proud you're not breaking any of the rules or pushing your luck be proud there is absolutely no risks you have taken at that absolutely you cannot be infected or infect others

DON'T report them but DO tell social media you have

This..

Op, its a dilemma for you clearly..

Perhaps approach them and simply ask?

If you word it that your keeping an eye on the elderly neighbours and your curious why they have showed up now..

If they are having to be away from their home as some have stated they simply may not have anywhere else to go..

Until you ask its all supposition..

They were wrong to go

Now

Ok quick risk maths

Let's assume they have it

Both of them

How exactly are the elderly neighbours sticking to the rules going to catch it ?

Now

2 police turn up the bad couple do have it

The police cannot avoid contact

The police get it there wives get it

If we are strictly discussing spread prevention

Not involving the police

If we need to punish despite the risks report is correct

I'd prefer not to risk the situation further

What if the wife of the policeman was your daughter and she dies because of this ?

Before all this started the people who owned those houses often came up and stayed, and often used to help my mother getting shopping in and other things. Now she feels isolated, alone and scarred. Personally, as long as they keep 2 meters away, I would welcome those second home owners being next door to help keep an eye on my elderly mother and maybe help buying essential supplies.

I would say that before you go running to the local constabulary to dob these people, in you find out how the elderly people you're concerned about feel about them being there. They may actually be quite grateful to have them close, but not too close, by.

"We live in a small village and everyone is doing the good deeds and staying isolated. Now there is a holiday cottage 2 doors down from us. The owners have turned up from Southampton, we are near Middlesbrough. Either side if them are elderly couples. So dilemma is, do we report them. Are we being snitches etc for doing so?

Any help is appreciated "

( Snitching )this is a serious situation killing people not a school playground, “ no disrespect to you “. They should not be there.

Post a question on a swinging site asking for advice.

Or wring your hands, and give them a disapproving look when you see them next.

Report them. Simple as that. Police have website and a place to inform them . This is a global emergency. Selfishness kills.

If they had just come up and were being sensible and staying in, I would be unsure about reporting them.

If it appears that they are going out for day trips, this greatly increases putting people at risk. In this case, I do think you should report them.

Check your local police website, I believe you can report online if you choose to do so.

i would say this...

if the people are going to self isolate for 14 days... then don't report them... they are just moving..

if they leave within the 14 days... then absolutely report them

"Do what you can live with in the long term.

It isn't for you to determine motive or the facts of the situation. "

Wisest comment here in my opinion. Talk to them maybe? +2m away, you never know what the story is, I'd find out first, why move from Southhampton? it is not as bad there as it is in Middlesborough. Makes no sense to move - must be another reason, to be closer to family maybe? ask 'em. Be kind.

They will have been to the store near their first home, then will almost certainly go to the store near their second home. That is how it can spread. Not cool.

Sir

Imo absolute sense

If strict social distancing is adhered to there is little issue

I am vastly more concerned virus wise about people being too close in shops buses still operating and many many many businesses open and operating without good hand hygiene or social distancing

I hope your mother is in good spirits and someone can be close by

Report them. The rules around visiting holiday homes/second homes is clear. As I explained to my hubby who wanted to go away in the caravan somewhere quiet, it's not just about isolating or social distancing. If we all clear off to quieter places and get sick it places a lot of strain on potentially limited medical resources.

But if you leave London for a second home and then get sick, you have actually reduced the strain on London hospitals which are the overloaded ones.

Shhh objective considered reasoning is not needed

Here

Rules is rules they ARE murdering scum rule breakers

Hang them high and long

Look they did wrong

If everyone did it it would be messy

They haven't it isn't

Allow the police to get along their job and not indirect valuable resources

Part of the reason for non essential travel is to limit the risk of potential road accidents, which would put more pressure on the nhs and emergency services. We don't know in this situation why these people have turned up to their holiday home. Do what you think you should OP.

The annual statistics illustrate more hospital admissions from cooking DIY and home incidents that driving

It's no coincidence that a e administrations rocket at bank holidays and it's not from travel

But hey ho let's continue finger wagging

Rules is rules despite facts

They did wrong

The specific risk THEY pose is minimal or even less than their previous locations

If everyone had broken the rules it would be messy

We NEED rules

It's done no harm done the police are busy

I agree Samiss. It isn’t finger wagging. My life is as important as theirs and their rights are no greater than mine.

I would report them and leave it to the police to deal with it. No matter how small a risk it is they shouldn’t do it and the rules are there for all, not just those that want to adhere. We would be in a sorry state if we all decided to do our own thing.

Plus good luck living next door to them afterwards, when you've snitched on them instantly.

No, you're not snitching. You're keeping you and your community safe, so please report this.

You are ultimately doing the errant holiday homers a favour as well... even if they can't see it.
