I think that the government guidlines state that you should stay within the locality. Keep things to a minimum a sort of get i, get out mentality, that's my interpretation of it.

You can share your opinion on my question.
The stupidest people I saw yesterday were congregated at the weir . Maybe they were keeping their distances but it was against the warnings form the government.

I agree. £100 may be a lot of money, but we had the news today that we only have half the ventilators we need. The strain on the NHS from not clamping down on the minority of selfish idiots is going to cost lives.

Why are you going that far? What are you doing all day that means you don't know about the rules?

I think that travelling to any destination that isn't essential at the moment is a daft thing to do.

Yes much closer to home. You shouldn’t be going out for more than an hour and you certainly shouldn’t be driving anywhere unless it’s for work you can’t do from home .

Re: People Gathering in Parks etc
My daughter in law is a Nurse dealing on an everyday basis with the real impact of this virus. I would take a few of these idiots( because they might think that they are clever but they are not, they are idiots) to their local hospital to see the patients who are fighting for every breath and often not with a successful outcome. I would then take them to talk to those people, doctors and nurses and others, who are putting their lives at risk in trying to save lives and explain to them why they believe that the rules do not apply to them. Film everything and then put them on Primetime TV to give their reaction.
OK I know that is will not happen but a fine of £100 may deter some but not all. Something more radical is required.

I wouldn't do any of the things you mention at the moment, what with social distancing and all that. Maybe your point is rhetorical.

Why is it harsh? As I said, people know the rules are in place, and why, and the consequences of not adhering to them. It's their choice to disregard that and put others at risk of death and extending the quarantine so they deserve everything they get. It's selfishness and a lack of concern for other people, pure and simple. "I'm bored, I want to go out with my friends/club so f**k the rules"
If they've lost their jobs and don't want to get a fine, don't congregate in groups. It's simple. I won't get fined the £100 because I won't be acting selfish and flouting the rules. They'd have that exact same option, and if they choose to ignore it then that's their fault and their fault only.

They will only know how serious this is (let's be honest, most of them a dead thick) when they hear of a friend who had a huge fine. Or, worse, a friend who died. That's really the level of intelligence we are dealing with.

I disagree with most of them being dead thick, that's what makes it so infuriating. Stupidity and lack of understanding is slightly forgiveable, a lot of these people think they're above the rules, or they don't apply to them

I really didn't need all of that. I think it's harsh because there are other ways to tackle this problem. To instigate a fine system we we need bodies on the ground, doing the leg work. I'd rather (for now) those people used as a deterrent with maybe the warning of stricter measures if they continue. I believe that we'd see a change. People don't 'Deserve everything they get' for being retarded bellends. What a daft thing to say.

Ignorant then. But, I have always equated ignorance with thickness.

Indeed. Which means they're dead thick.

"Deserve everything they get" within the context of my post you tit, i.e £100 fine. I'm not suggesting they get shot on sight. I'd say £100 is fair for being a retarded bellend, especially as literally the only thing that's on the news or is being spoken about is why they shouldn't gather together.

This is exactly what's happening now, and people are ignoring it.
