We deserve to be locked down, utterly unbelievable.
Victoria Park Market:
Broadway Market:
Hearing Fulham are closing the parks. People do need exercise but if loads of people are ignoring the advice not sure what else they can do.
Also Snowdon looking ridiculous:

Sadly, you are right, but it's very easy to be judgemental right now, especially on people who live in crowded cities and who want to get out for a bit of exercise and fresh air. Yes, they could be sensible about this and space out.
I walked 4 miles around Radlett today and didn't come close to a soul but things are different in cities so maybe a curfew is inevitable. |  |

The messaging should have been much stronger from the start. Yes, people need to take some responsibility and stop being so blasé/selfish, but it’s no good the government complaining about the situation when they were floating the herd immunity theory when we had a chance to make use of the head start we had.
I wouldn’t have had much faith in the British public to adhere anyway but it should have been drummed into them with the same vigour as ‘get Brexit done’. |  |

I'm thinking Melford, Liston, Foxearth, Pentlow, then up the hill to Belchamp St. Paul's , Belchamp Otten then home to Melford via Borley. |
Blimey, that's a fair old hike. Enjoy. |  |

My mum was down Broadway market yesterday - she's 81 and won't be told. Worrying. We've tried telling her, but she's of the opinion that the world's gone mad. Don;t really know what to do.
In fairness though, there's a mental health issue here as well - cooped-up people going for a walk isn't all bad if they can stay apart.
How do people feel about takeaways right now? |  |

There is a risk to anything but close social contact is the most likely way of spreading the virus and it should not be hard for intelligent people to make reasonable efforts to comply with that. Unfortunately, we also have a proportion of deniers/dick heads and it's near impossible to deal with them. I still have sympathy for city dwellers, but they should still be able to avoid crowding together in parks. | |

[Assuming] They have homes, it won't hurt them to take a little responsibility and stay in them for a while, city dwellers or otherwise.
For feck's sake. most have only been off work a few days.
It's downright opportunism.
The tw@ts think they're on holiday. |  |

Did a nice leisurely 20 miler on the mountain bike this afternoon. Very little traffic around the Culford/Ingham area and the few walkers and dog owners i met were mostly quite amenable. |  | | |

Totally agree, people popping out to take photos to post on twitter seem of think they're immune from the virus and probably the people spreading it. |  | | |

I’m amazed the markets are still allowed to open, yesterday in Ely the market was open and then again the smaller Sunday market too.
It’s got to stop somehow |  |

Was saying this a week ago and was poked fun at for being a liberal asking for authoritarian measures.
Actually I just give a f*ck about people and could already see this happening in London. However it’s even worse than I expected.
Humans, eurgh. |  |

Idiocy aside, Colombia Market is crap anyway.
It’s shocking to see these images from England. In Toronto, we were asked to stay indoors for the whole weekend to give the emergency services a break and to try and slow the spread. I think this request has been followed very closely across the country. I’ve barely seen anyone outside my window and I’m downtown.
Our national parks, restaurants, pubs, theatres etc have been fully closed for at least a week even though we have less cases than the U.K.
From the restrictions being followed here, those photos blow my mind. |  |

I’ve just walked round Rushmere Heath, everyone stopping to leave space and let people past etc - one old boy clearly wanted a chat so we did so from 4-5m apart.
But there were a couple of families together, one of them coughing and spluttering just not doing any form of social distancing.
Personal responsibility thing, and so many people clearly take none |
Families surely are allowed to walk together, especially living with each other.
I went for a late(ish) walk around Rushmere last night with my family, as we all live together, eat dinner together we walked together. - However, when passing other people, we crossed roads and distanced ourselves from others. [Post edited 23 Mar 2020 7:36]

One detail i dont understand is how can quickly walking past someone on a busy road be dangerous? They were saying a week or so ago that you had to spend 15 mins in an infected person's close company to be at risk... | |

I don't think it is a case of people not listening It is more a case of ignorance & stupidity & people just being (as ever in some cases) being irresponsible
I had a phone call yesterday from someon I know & he started on this by telling me in no uncertain terms the enire problem in Italy is political - he is carrying on as normal.
You may not be surprised when I tell you he is the hardest type of brexiteer | | | |

Sorry my post wasn't clear, when I said a couple of families, I meant a couple of families together - was about 10 people so would be very surprised if all living together as had 4 or 5 dogs too
I did the same with my family as you |  |

Unbelievable here in Germany as of last night they are not allowing more than 2 people to be together unless it is a family group or they live in the same house, possibility of a 25000 euro fine, we have been told this is the last warning before total lockdown and curfew. | |

Deffo. Tomorrow I will probably strike out on foot towards Boxted church. Or failing that, Fenstead End. |
Went for a lovely riverside walk with wife, dog and flask. Everyone kept their distance. Just heard Essex County Council are shutting parks today so I will prob drive out to a remote country footpath and walk but still avoid everyone.
Failing this I may have to tie the dog to a rotating washing line in the garden and follow him. |  | | |

He really should lose his living over that. It's all well and good being a contrarian on less serious subjects but ignoring the advice and then using your platform to encourage others to do the same is beyond irresponsible. |  |

Agreed. Dangerously irresponsible.
I like the comparison of Philadelphia's and St Louis' responses to Spanish Flu as an example of the effectiveness of social distancing. Philadelphia held a major parade after they knew they had cases - result 4,500 people dead within a week. St Louis introduced social distancing measure within 2 days of their first case. The difference in additional mortality rate couldn't be more stark.

Should have clarified this ruling is in regards to social distancing etc,just got in from taking the dog for his morning walk in Neandertal park, what a difference, people actually obeying rules regarding seperation, usually see 3 old boys on the same bench enjoying a few beers, today 2 on bench seperated by distance and the other one sitting behind them on the grass at appropriate distance, usually see groups of mums walking together, not today seperate family groups keeping appropriate distance one group stops they all stop it was like watching a caterpillar, we have to cross at a set of traffic lights, no bunching waiting for green everone self distancing. I think people realise this is the last chance before lockdown, in saying that pubs,bars, clubs ,resturants, schools, childrens playparks etc are all closed only essential buisnesses open. Take care eveyone and remember a space could save your life. COYB. | |
