Regarding the whole 'sunbathing in parks' thing. If that's the focus of your anger, shut the fuck up. You're wrong.
...in the 1940s and into the 1950s we but suburban houses with personal gardens that were kind of long strips to grow your own food and have a bit of space outdoors. So you live somewhere with outdoors space? Good for you.
...you're actually only a few m from other people using their own outdoor space. You aren't especially far from them unless you have a huge garden. In which case you're every bit as wrong...
...from the 60s as it became apparent that people didn't use their gardens productively planners looked more favourably on communal green space and smaller personal space. An awful lot of people living there have very limited or no outdoor space
...that's by design. It's means to be that way. But there is -ample- too. Outdoors spaces in estates like that are often really big - social distancing is easy there because they are designed that way.
...then of course from the late 80s until now we have been building some god awful housing developments with neither personal nor communal outdoor space. And you're telling people trapped in housing way worse than yours they mustn't responsibly use public space? No. Fuck you.
...if they're keeping their distance from others, you need to be okay with that. Do you really not get that your capacity to self isolate in sunshine with space to move around a house that's big enough not to be always tripping over each other is -astonishing- privilege?
Lastly, it isn't someone lying 4m from others on the grass who is responsible for the as yet uncontrolled rise in fatalities due to Covid-19 in the UK. Stop falling for that lie.
The disease spread out of control here and thousands have died (thousands more will die) because lockdown and social distancing advice came -absurdly- late from a governments whose stated policy was to 'take it on the chin' and rapidly buy herd immunity via. mass fatalities
...it's not the girl hula hooping in the park or the bloke sun bathing who killed those people. They're dying because it was government policy that they die. Stop being a gullible idiot by helping the government deflect blame on to individuals. This is at Johnsons door.
