For people who aren’t following rules and guidelines - virus
Fri Apr 03, 2020 3:09 pm
I know it may seem like we’ve been restricted for some time but this is only the start. We cannot become complacent. Many in the country try have made a huge effort to protect the spread of the virus and prevent deaths. However there are people who aren’t doing this - it’s not just younger people, it’s people of all ages but perhaps younger people don’t realise how serious this is. If someone goes out to meet up with mates or roaming around or driving to pretty parts of the country and mixing wiTh others you could indirectly and directly play a big part in spreading the virus, catch it yourself and contribute to deaths. Through people’s complacency or ignorance they could actually indirectly cause their own family member to die. We will come through this at some point but we have to stay home where possible apart from if your a key worker.

Key message from UK government: Stay at home
Jessica Parker
BBC political correspondent
The overriding message today spoke to an overriding concern - that this weekend’s warm weather could increasingly tempt people outside and see some flout the social distancing rules.
Hence the constant repetition of "stay at home".
In language that some may find draconian, the health secretary said that the guidelines are "not a request" but rather an "instruction".
And the government has constantly reiterated that it rules nothing out should the scientific advice suggest that restrictions should go further.
