Is the population rebelling against draconian anti-coronavirus measures?

This weekend here where I live in London there has been a rush, I would say a mad rush to enjoy the sunshine in the parks. Literally thousands of people are flocking into the parks in their cars, causing long traffic jams and all entering the open green spaces like the Biblical gadarene swine. Social distancing? Hardly. Family groups with grandparents, parents and grandchildren walking together in the sunshine, laughing and joking. There is a degree of mad rebellion in this display. I suspect there is also an element of "Well it isn't going to happen to me, so let's enjoy the sunshine and fresh air." It's understandable but is it wise? Boris Johnson appealed to the nation to abide by the social distancing guidelines but this is so alien to anything we have had to endure in the past it is difficult to obey the rules. I don't recall any social distancing orders in previous virus scares, like Mad Cow's disease or Foot and Mouth or Sars or flu for heaven's sake. So how do you convince people who are desperate to stay as normal as possible that they must behave in a totally abnormal way? Judging by this weekend, it's impossible. Pictures of long queues of traffic in the gorgeous countryside of Snowdonia are proof enough that the average family is just not willing to stay indoors all day every day. And yet this is what life is like in other countries, Latin America for example, where everyone is being ordered to stay in their homes. No one is allowed to go walking or have bike rides or sit on the beach. In Britain, people talk about the Blitz and the wartime spirit but, as Boris has tried to point out, this hidden virus has no respect for humans and a Blitz spirit if it involves ignoring health guidelines could just spur the virus to seek more victims. Frankly I don't know what the answer is.
