I did ask a good few days back whether the Government's decision to lower the social distancing guidelines would lead to some believing it to signal that things were almost 'back to normal'. Seems that some certainly did, and not just in Bournemouth. Apparently Blackpool beach was also quite busy. So busy, in fact, that one mother stayed only 5 minutes, saw...

There is, Bobbie - of sorts.

It is absolutely naive to expect that the population will remain under quite severe restrictions for a prolonged period. At the beginning they could not leave home without a "reasonable excuse". The government made this a bit easy for them by making "unreasonable excuses" impossible because they closed all but essential shops and services. Pubs, bars, restaurants, gyms, non-essential shops, barbers and the rest were all closed by diktat. This prevailed for almost two months (although a slight extension of the "reasonable excuses was provided after about five weeks). Still many of the establishments that people rely on for normal life and relaxation remain closed. They cannot go on holiday (either in the UK or abroad); they cannot go out for a meal; they cannot get their hair cut; they cannot freely associate with others. At the moment the government is managing to maintain their restrictions by making orders to organisations they know will comply (pubs, restaurants, hotels etc.) to close. What they cannot control is 65m people. The weather is hot, many are not at work and they've had enough. So they go out to the seaside. What a surprise.
Myself on 24th April:
The mental health stresses are, I believe, already evident on here (AB) and I can see some sort of large scale ‘backlash’ to the ‘instructions’ happening around mid May when the Govt announce an further extension, because they will.
In a leadership vacuum, the people will lead themselves. What else is there?
19:07 Good, happy to be on the same page as Bobbi, thanks. Oh, wait a minute were you being sarcastic??? Oh well, never mind.
