Comparing impromptu out door gatherings to organized events is apple's and pears.Of course that's why they are holding so many sporting events like the premiership, with so many crowds, Glastonbury and Wimbledon. Oh wait they are not. Of course it's about risk and being closely packed outside is still more risk than indoors. But behaviour when outside matters and no I don't agree that there was social distancing on that beach in Bournemouth no matter how many different camera angles.
Spikes will happen and there were peeps traveling from Birmingham. You cannot say they certainly did not catch it and spread it when they return home. That is the point there isn't enough evidence yet. It doesn't mean ergo no evidence we can go about are daily lives as normal and "each to their own." There is still a duty of care we owe to each other not to become careless because whilst a Majority who catch it may not suffer the effects of it badly there are those who will or do I have to remind you of that? And it is is those more vulnerable people we should not forget because too many have died or suffering long term lung damage which is only beginning to be understood.
Why because Glasto etc shared toilets etc, singing shouting + logistics of cancellation has to be made months in advance.
WHO our own Virologist from Cambridge uni have also said as all viruses the chance of contacting are minimal outside as natural ventilation disperses it quickly.
I guess we just agree to disagree on this.Of course that's why they are holding so many sporting events like the premiership, with so many crowds, Glastonbury and Wimbledon. Oh wait they are not.

I've posted numerous times or should I on behalf of Mrsduncanb that unfortunately this virus Harvested the old and vulnerable both of us aren't going to disagree on this.
2015 saw 40,000 flu related deaths to exact same category as covid19 I UK alone.
I fully respect your choice to be indoors to protect the vulnerable , however I believe we really need to get back up and going and yes live with this virus.
On a salutary note sometimes we have to except that death is part of life, no life is risk free, each individual makes there own choices wether it effects others or not.
In end the masses will decide not elected bodies.
I fully respect your stance once again however can't except it personally.
NB. old fart ex heart attack so in theory I should be more worried than most but then grew up seeing people who were inflicted by Polio now that is scary.
