I'd read that, what idiots
I really hope there isn't another spike but sadly I think the way some people have been behaving it's quite likely.
You are always going to get a number of people who think the virus won't affect them - until it does! Its human nature, I'm afraid - the same mentality as someone who gets behind the wheel after a few drinks: 'oh, I'll be alright'.
Personally, being quite antisocial myself, I'd be quite happy for social distancing to continue ad infinitum though, of course I don't wish any harm to anyone albeit I came close to it the other Friday when my neighbours decided to play Vera Lynn at full blast in the court for most of the day. I always make sure my windows and doors are shut before I put my Led Zepp on but apparently, if you're celebrating VE Day you can do what you like. if there's one song I just cannot bear its Whalemeat Again.
Okay, got that off my chest - back to people flouting the 'rules'. It might have helped if the government spokesmen and women had attempted to speak to us as if we were adults rather than repeat the stay safe mantra over and over again and show us those ridiculous graphs every day until we were heartily fed up with the whole thing. I stopped watching those so called updates weeks ago - I mean, if they'd attempted to tell us what the options were and how they were thinking of tackling coming out of the lockdown situation, they might have kept people with them. Instead, I think they lost most people along the way and lots decided to go back to normal as much as they could. I know plenty of families with split homes who have 'annexed' each other's houses and travel between them. Not often, but often enough for people who live alone not to be climbing the walls (present company excepted. I love it!)
To me, if its going to come, the biggest spike will come in London in about 3 weeks time when the effects of everyone going back to work and travelling on the tube will take effect. Most were left with little alternative.
Or, of course, as some predicted, it may just have run its course - like flu epidemics do - and (to quote The Who) fff fade away.
