And, to serve the public, they sometimes have to do things that upset a smaller proportion of the public.

I feel that police telling elderly people to go home serves me. It means that there is less chance of the NHS being overrun, that if someone I know gets ill despite following the rules they have a better chance of getting the equipment they need (although still, not a great chance). It also means we can all get back to work before our employers go bust (maybe you have none of these concerns).

So, the police sending people home in this current crisis that could get much much worse is absolutely serving the public. 1400 plus families have already lost loved ones to this, the NHS has lost 3 medical staff. What are you doing to stop the spread?
