Already the number of new cases in the USA is on the up thanks to folk with a similar "you can't tell me what to do" attitude - be warned Brits! It doesn't matter if the majority obey the rules, 500 thousand people* in one mass gathering on a beach then dispersing to all different parts of the country could have devastating consequences.
*I'm pretty sure that that figure is an exaggeration actually - that's an awful lot of people on one beach! But even if it was just 100 thousand, still a lot of people!
