I've just seen photos on my wife's facebook of large queues thronging McDonalds up this way. I completely despair with some of the people we've got in this country. They know the risks of spreading the disease but having burger comes before saving a life.

OP
In our Lockdown here in Spain I´ve been outside my door twice in 9 days - chemist and food shop once. The wife has been out once in that time - a different food shop.
We are not allowed out to excercise at all and the highlight of our day is taking the rubbish to the communal bin on the street about 50 metres from our front door.
I think he should have gone further - and will probably have to soon

I thought Macdonalds stated that they were closing for the foreseeable future. Including for takeaways.

They did from last night. Hence the rush for a lot to get the families, kids and partners off to Macdonalds before the shut down. Just been speaking to one of my foreman in Harlow. His 5 kids have all got their noses pressed against the windows watching the majority of the neighbourhood kids playing in the street outside.

This is probably the only time I will ever defend Boris on anything !! But where is what you have in Spain different to last night apart from the exercise bit ?
It isn't "lockdown" in Spain as you are also allowed to go to the Chemist and food shops as well as us.
I've got to say I do think the penny has dropped to most people now. I walked the dog around Roath Park Lake this morning for my exercise and it was deserted and those few people who were out were absolutely observing the 2 metre gaps in a very obvious way.
I think it may differ in parts of the UK and London in particular may well have more stringent measures imposed to stop the ridiculous numbers on the Tube but even in many other countries it seems accepted that certain parts will be treated differently depending on the risk. Similarly the restrictions could be turned on and off just to flatten out the peaks of the outbreak
Only at the end of all this will we know which approach has worked.
