My personal experiences amount to the following...

My brother-in-law caught the virus and thankfully survived.

My son-in-law works at the local hospital and he is the father of my only grandchild and again thankfully he remains clear up to this point.

On the other side of the coin we have or should I say had neighbours less than two hundred yards away. The son was a male nurse living with his parents and all three died of it within two days of one another.

Stay safe everyone.

My aunt works at the local hospital and is the head nurse of the floor with the COVID patients on it. They are the real heroes here, not the McDonalds workers or whatever.

I'm thankful as well that she has stayed clear.

Our formerly quiet rural road is now a playground for battalions of cyclists and joggers. I have to look up and down the road for these buggers any time I want to step out to get to my trash bins or mailbox... even to clip my hedge, for many of them make no effort to give you a wide berth as they go by. I even got a whiff of some bloke's aftershave a while back. So going for a walk now is stressful for us too, and involves constantly looking over our shoulders for 'zees', as I've started calling them (that's zombies)

We get one main grocery shop each week and that can be stressful for my wife because there, too, many just seem to ignore social distancing

As for the photos of the crowded beaches last weekend... they ought to drop napalm on the lot of them

There is a similar situation where I live, though a bit more urban; those bothersome rental scooters and electric bike that had disappeared during our lockdown have made their reappearance in the past few days now that some of the restrictions have been lifted and the idiots who zip about with no regard for pedestrians have also reappeared...

Being about two miles from the local beach and fairground, local parks etc. we are witnessing first hand the sudden upturn in people but the thing that annoys me the most is the sight of all the crap they leave behind.

This was never the norm in the past so I don't know why they can't just take their rubbish home with them as was the case in the past.

OK, then your story has credibility.
