Yep! Good comments. I listened to a vg debate re the "advice" that the govt has issued re various elements of the tighter measures to combat COVID19 eg don't go on hols abroad unless it is essential travel. Not a strong enough message opined quite a few critical callers. I reflected back to the strict way that the likes of the Spanish or Italian Police previously applied their govt's tough measures to ensure people really perceived "what is at stake" and the implications for offenders. We don't do it that way in this country. Therefore a faction of the population are just "taking the piss" IMO. I acknowledge the "softly softly approach" that is favoured but not if certain offenders are just flagrantly ignoring said advice while the majority of the populace are trying very hard to conform to the govt requests for cooperation. Should we try to "reset" for say a "tough" fortnight?? I don't know but I perceive that even after a reasonable success following such a measure, COVID19 will still be out there anyway although a significant reduction and control of the spread will have been achieved.
