Social distancing report for today:

In the afternoon I went out for a run and saw some people along the way. While I avoided them no problem, kids playing together unsupervised didn't seem to be from the same family, B. Teenagers fishing together, also not the same family, C. Five Teenagers in swim gear and towels at the river together, F.

I also saw 10 deer along the way, there were still empty places in the forest, but it's still more 'crowded' than it was before the crisis.

I wonder if teenagers realize that extending the crisis is only worse for them in the long run...

Teenagers and kids are fine. I read that there is only a single confirmed case of someone catching it directly from another person outdoors.It's the vulnerable who need to be protected and make the biggest changes to their way of life. Nobody under 9 has died from Covid in the UK. Two have died from domestic abuse. I think the schools need to open.

Maybe not:
