The one I'm waiting for is to be allowed to travel to Norfolk again - as soon as it's on, I'm off. |  |

I'm staying put! Our group of friends have decided to give it a few more weeks before we have a socially distanced BBQ too. Mrs Dub is a primary school teacher though, so that isn't ideal. |  |

I might sit in a pub garden when they open, not going to lie. But I'll probably do as much non-food fooding shopping online still, probably for most of the rest of the year. That said, Mrs Badger keeps angling for a trip to f*cking Ikea, the shop that makes you want to kill yourself. |  |

I heard the response up there to the news that you can't have sex with people outside your own family was a collective shrug. |  |

I don't understand anyone going to places like that. Why take the risk? |  |

Same here. If you don't need to go out for work or essential services, simply don't. The Government have let this loosen too soon and it is going to be a brave move to put certain areas of the UK into a more stringent lockdown. Interestingly Andy Burnham is almost pleading for the Govt to do so. Also, this is a lag of 2-3 weeks. The R number is probably even higher now [Post edited 5 Jun 2020 16:41]

I make the last 4 weeks as follows - 394, 342, 253, 236 (discounting the 445 that were added this week from previous weeks). [Post edited 5 Jun 2020 16:41]

I can’t believe the pressure junior football clubs are coming under to start training again. I have to keep pointing out: There’s a global pandemic in full swing It’s June Our training venues are locked. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should But it’s just not going home. |  |

My archery club(because I'm THAT middle class) are making no noises about it so far. Possibly some outdoor practice till September but definitely no indoors till then, they've decided. |  |

I understand there's a very large one in North Essex. You could probably hold a really good, distanced BLM protest there. |  |

Indeed, it will be gradual. Without pubs, life sport, gigs or working in an office many people will mix a lot less than in late Feb and early March. That should reduce the spread for everyone, even those unable to work from home. That said if those R numbers prove correct then it won't take a lot to top this into exponential growth again - and the effects of parks last weekend, and protests this week haven't hit it yet. |  |

Indeed. This was the R number from 2 to 3 weeks ago. We've seen moronic levels of activity since then |  | |  |
