I suppose its all relative, if it gets into a pub there and is passed onto 20 people that would push the numbers up massively as a percentage.

Obviously people move to the country to be further away from people and places so much easier.

Moving house merely to avoid a virus that may be stemmed a year from now is a tad drastic. If a move is prompted by people re-evaluating their lives due to current events then that is rather different.

People in the cities tend to visit rural areas on weekends and stuff....what with people sick to death of restrictions already.

Depends on whether facilities "follow" the people. Being part of a crowd moving to an area covered by a very small hospital doesn't help you or the local area.

Most people have had enough of how to live and act and want to be treated like adults.
There is nothing more we can do until a vaccine is available. 2m, face masks, wash hands, sanitiser, work from home, test, track & trace... ... ...............
Covid 19 is here to stay for the foreseeable future let's do all of the above and learn to live with this virus until its controlled.
Otherwise we will have more deaths through unemployment, mental health, poverty, depression, debt ............and more

Depends on the city. If you live in a big city like New York or London with millions of people living on top of each other then yes. But a city like Cardiff where the majority live in houses and there's plenty of room and outdoor space then I think it's fine. The wealthy have been moving out of NYC like rats deserting a sinking ship, property values and rentals in Connecticut and New Jersey have surged.
