It's NOT over

It's been a scorching hot week just as the Government relaxed most of the social distancing recommendations, so guess what happened - the beaches were overwhelmed with people desperate to get away from confinement and find some normality.  I get it but......

It's over, let's go to the overcrowded beach miles from home and gather en masse.
It's NOT over.
But too many people think it is.
My shielding letter landed today and this is what is required of us until possibly spring 2021
"Adopt strict social distancing: you may wish to go out to places and see people but you should take particular care to minimise contact with others outside your household."
We can go to work if it's covid safe
Kids can go to school but just retain strict social distancing
We can go to supermarket, church and for exercise but retain strict social distancing
"You should remain cautious as you are still at risk... So stay at home where possible and if you go out follow strict social distancing."
There's no specific definition of strict social distancing but medical advisors are saying 2m. I'm not sure how that works when no one else is staying 2m apart.
As Mike said earlier today after seeing these photos; it might just be better to stay home until next year. I've rarely seen him so cross.
