We had a nice walk in our local park.
Predictably, a lot of people were around.
It was ok though, people were generally being sensible and keeping away from each other.
Some people were doing things which weren’t technically allowed - sitting sun-bathing, two blokes were kicking a ball around. But...so what? No one was going up and licking other people. No police were around telling people they can’t sit on the grass. Round my way the police seem to be giving people the benefit of the doubt and assuming that people are being sensible and generally people are.
Big fat lobster people lounging around in their underpants and knickers SHOULD be banned. Except when there's a killer virus on the lose.

So let's say the hospitals cope and this "peak" gets flattened out. That's what everyone is hoping for. The logical question then becomes, how do you keep that peak flattened over the course of a year, which is what the doctors say they are attempting to achieve? How does everyone going back to normal achieve that goal? Won't the infection rate start spiking again if we all jump on public transport and go to work? Or will we have moved into a period of acceptable losses and take your chances?
Are they assuming we've all had it by now and recovered? In which case, why are 95% of tests in Germany and the US coming up negative?
Will they be shutting airports. If we get it under control, are we just going to assume it's under control everywhere else too? And let people fly in from all over the place? What about the ports?
Treating people like children who can't handle bad news is ultimately dangerous. None of the numbers make sense. The guidance is contradictory and the media is worse than useless.

I don’t think things will go from this to normal but I’m hoping soon some of the harsher restrictions will be lifted.
People on a local FB group I’m on are falling over themselves to be locked in their houses.
A garden makes quite a bit of difference.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Possible money making opportunity? You be their keyholder. Lock them up and only let them out when they've informed on 100 of their neighbours. One free family member beat down per day, discounts on family deals. Abduct their kids and make them walk up and down the street in brown shirts.
I'm sure there's a demand for it.
