No point taking risks Down here is similar, people are flocking to parks and even beaches however the beaches look emptier today and yesterday. Ā I think a lot of it comes down to common sense. What is sensible to do, will be different in different locations. Down where you are, I'm guessing is more densely populated than most parts of Scotland and so social distancing will be a wee bit more difficult. I just hope that the police act responsibly with any new powers they are given. We all know that there are some polis who just love to demonstrate their new power to the public as soon as they get a chance to. There is no reason why folk living in, sayĀ Cupar, shouldn't drive to tentsmuir and go for a walk in the forest or the beach. That must be less likely to spread the virus than wandering about the streets of somewhere like Glasgow. If they get there and find the car park jam packed they should just drive somewhere else.

Ā That was my thinking at first but I suspect they want as few people driving at all to reduce accident risk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be the excuse the polis might use to stop you. Give them a few extra powers and they think they can do what they want. Which they probablyĀ can. Don't get me wrong, most them are awright but there are always a few who get off on pushing it as far as they can. Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā Aye, I can see why anyone would think that - We did However, now believe it is to reduce accidents and protect frontline workers from dealing with other shit they can do without - RTA's We live in a small town in Norfolk, and I've never seen so many dogs being walked (Be similar everywhere I'm sure) - Therefore we've been driving a few miles down the road to a pretty much deserted woodland to walk ours / get some exercise - No issues in terms of social distancing as we rarely see anyone That said, and for the above reason, yesterday was our last trip until this is past - We'll just have to head out of town on foot and keep practicing SD as best we can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hertsscot Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 How come so many right wing politicians and commentators seem to have got this so far, Johnson, Jack, Hancock, Toby Young. Is it that they weren't taking it seriously, didn't follow their own advice or maybe just wanted to avoid the cameras.Ā I'm unaware of too many other politicans having it, although that my justĀ be because its not been as well publicized.
