To think i should be able to go out

Without coming into contact with people?!

I can’t get to my car (medical trips today) without getting close to children playing in the road

And I can’t walk our dog without crossing paths with about 100 other people. In addition to all the children on the estate playing out in the road, many others are playing in their front gardens - meaning I would have to walk in the road to stay 6ft from them. Down one road there was at least 5 groups of people (who are not one family or from one household) hanging around just on the pavement having a chat and many of whole were drinking beers(!) out in the sun
There were also people filing in and out of all the local shops for ‘essential’ shopping - such as an ice cream, or a can of coke.

This is not a summer holiday!

What is so hard about these guidelines and why does no one care?!

It’s pretty good where I am, although surprised at the number of cars still on the road. Having said that, we have quite a big older population so it could be folks out delivering food, prescriptions etc. The most upsetting thing here ( Cornwall) is that our confirmed cases have gone up considerably since the idiotic tourists arrived. What part of stay at home do they not understand?!
I am going to Aldi to do my first proper shop & feel quite apprehensive but apparently they are operating “ crowd control”, arrows on the floor to direct you etc & they’re well stocked even if you go later in the day.

Or people driving to the supermarket to do their shopping.
