Found in the Yorkshire hills ...
I don't see a problem with golf - distance between players is the normal pattern in play. Bars etc remain closed.

It's fine with me. Some are clearly out of practice; if they mis-time the chip to the 4th hole their ball goes over the fence and down my drive. I'm 3 balls to the good already this morning :laugh:

Being on the green is not the problem. It's getting them to green and enforcing social distancing and other measures that's the problem.
The more we normalise things the more people forget and things slip. It's just a matter of time and the virus will be back in force.

Which might just be the plan.

The lockdown has been loosened. Of course there will be more traffic, and more people on the street doing "normal" things.
(There are many things I'm not allowed to do, so please don't tell me that lockdown is over.)

At some point we need to let go of bitching about anybody we see doing something different to us.

I was just going to post something similar.

I am more concerned where people have no option regrading social distancing such as going to work on public transport or working in unsafe environments than playing golf or buying a bag of compost.

There are now some things you can't do and some you can which makes sense as a gradual process of lifting the lockdown after 6 weeks even if Boris has managed to cock it up somewhat.

We have 1 in 400 people infected now and in two weeks it is supposed to reduce to 1 in 800. We shall see.

My son is going to meet a friend in the park tomorrow and I am glad he is able to do so within the guidelines which has has religiously stuck to for the past 6 weeks which is probably a long time when you are 16.

Simple and to the point fabric mask mistakes maybe handy if you have kids.

We have a lot more controls in place than when the virus spread preciously: Pubs, clubs, cafes, hairdressers closed. Lots more people working from home. People still not at work. Sports suspended. No mass gatherings. Schools closed. No group cycling. No Audax. Obviously all these things will have an impact in slowing the spread of the virus which is now at low levels in the community.

Sadly we don't really know what the true community level is we've still not testing sorted let alone the tracing.
