It sounds an inappropriate reaction TTR but I sort of agree with you - but that could be because thee and me and probably most in the group are in a vulnerable group.

I just hope that, when we are back locked down in September for the second time, these cretins rA has identified remember why. But they won't, they will blame the government for something - sadly not rounding them up into isolation camps. Free showers included?

That could be quite funny, if it didn't have some serious connections.

But I quite agree though. It will spike again and will all be the Tories fault etc.
For me I'm expecting a similar backlash through the school gap. Kids being out of contol/standards slipped/exam disasters.
Starmer /Sturgeon will be screaming that Johnson has ruined a generation of leavers.
Yet the reality is, it's all the fault of the cretins who think the rules don't apply to them etc.

But the government can’t be absolved of blame, GP. Far too many people are stupid and selfish, hence the the Spanish, Australian, New Zealand and German authorities have been both far stricter and more imaginative.
Two examples that I have come across.

In Spain, although the wearing of masks is not compulsory all the time, you have to have one with you whenever you go out for wearing in public places and risk a €1000 for failing to do so.
In Germany faced with the problem of social distancing in parks they drew distanced circles on the grass big enough to accommodate appropriate social/family groups. Those outside the circle are, by tangible definition, not social distancing making the job a whole lot easier for the police.

Sadly, because of the aforementioned stupidity, ignorance and selfishness such steps are necessary, but here we’ll just continue to have mixed messages and ‘leaders’ breaking the rules with apparent impunity.

Mrs F is in Spain for personal reasons, and the local beach is marked out for social distancing. Volunteer wardens can issue fines but the next two stages are a visit to your sunbed by the local police and a heavier fine and if you are feeling really feisty, a word from the Guardia Civil, two of apparently, both armed. Maybe we should import them for a while...
