Keep Your Distance

Perhaps a final time for a walk on the Chase for a while?

L was riding, I was walking and I was standing at the gates of the cafe I mentioned on Saturday.  This time the gates (and cafe) were closed, but through them I could see the evidence of the publics behaviour and the cafe owner's efforts to address the issue of social distancing.

Tonight the Prime Minister increased the restrictions on movements.  Whether all the public will comply is questionable. It seems that we need to rely on everyone's compliance as there is probably little chance that there are sufficient numbers of Police to enforce the new rules.  Let us hope that common sense prevails.  Frustratingly, with the current trends in cases and deaths, we seem to be on a similar trajectory to Italy, just a couple of weeks behind and with the incubation period of the virus being up to 14 days, we may already be committed to that fate.
