Then there's no reason to assume going to the beach would. An open space in the hot sun is a less contagious environment than a cramped city.

Well if you even bothered to read the article you’ll see it said it was because of an increase in social distancing at marches, incredibly unlikely the same can be said in these pictures

The article says

Researchers determined that protests may have been offset by an increase in social distancing among those who decided not to march.

The protests in London were badly timed imo, but at least I can understand the motive behind it.

Overcrowding a Beach during a Pandemic is just selfish in my view, there is no decent motive behind that at all.

None at all Mock.

This you can't catch it outside is one of the most misguided and dangerous things said.

There was uproar at Cheltenham being allowed to go on when this was really setting in.
If you can't catch it outside, why is football being played behind closed doors.

Utter tripe and the government should be held to account in part for such confusing information and guidelines.

If you're outside, just talking to someone who has it, or were they to cough with no face covering, then see if it can't be caught.

In groups of large numbers of people, that risk is more intensified.
The problem still being, some who get this, don't show symptoms, or even know they have it, yet do infect others.

I just don’t understand the mentality of taking your precious wife and kids to an overcrowded beach in the situation we find ourselves in .. and then for loads of people to threaten , intimidate and abuse the council workers as they empty the overflowing litter bins on and near the beach is quite frankly MIND-NUMBING !!

Get OUT of my beach

People have been stuck in their homes, with not much to do, still no work or school for a lot of people.

So if they are given the opportunity to go to a beach, they will.

It's not like they all decided collectively to create a large crowd.

Anyone with a bit of common sense would realize it would be busy and give it a miss though or see the amount of people and go home. Sadly the british public have proved recently they are largely selfish idiots

But it’s that kind of selfish attitude that results in a repeak of cases

The government has just released the latest estimate for the R number - the rate at which infections are spreading.

It is between 0.7 and 0.9. A figure of below one means the number of new infections are going down.

The seven-day average for the number of daily confirmed cases currently stands at under 900, down from nearly 4,000 in the week the prime minister announced the first steps out of lockdown.

However, the Office for National Statistics surveillance programme suggests falling rates may have levelled off.

The findings released on Thursday found 14 out of 24,500 people tested in the community in England were infected.

This equates to 0.09% of the population being currently infected - or one in 1,100 people.

It is a small rise from the week before, but not enough to be considered statistically significant.

From https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-53157284

Based on that it is unlikely the beach-goers would encounter another person that is currently infected.

That only works if they know absolutely everything about the virus..

I doubt they do, and I fear for next winter because I have a feeling this virus hibernates in the body.

Oddly enough I heard a surgeon discuss a similar theory a couple of weeks ago .. . he’d done some tests on people who’d had the virus but recovered and had tested negative afterwards.. yet he found the virus cells STILL in their bowels and their lung tissues.

It kinda creeped me out at the time given I’m a terrible worrier.

I don't think the public are selfish really.

They've been pretty obedient when it comes to the rules over the last few months.

In Bournemouth
they were, parking their cars on Bus Stops
and grass.
All got tickets.

Greedy Rush to the beach and golden sand
which was far to many close to each other.

Some of the public are selfish imo , we are told we still need to be cautious, they are not listening and putting others that have complied at risk ,that to me is selfish, no regard for anyone else .

I bet you most of those people at the beaches are the ones most vocal about social distancing

[Babayaro.]

They're all selfish, brainless idiots.
