''Professor Collignon said extreme measures were unwarranted and risked rebellion, especially among younger people least at risk from the virus.''
least at risk? Possibly. However, we are all at risk and I'd have thought it easier to social distance in rural Australia but definitely not in urban areas.

Being safer outdoors is common sense, and lockdown has gone over the top. We don’t want crowded streets, but if people can get to remote areas, and practice social distancing, then that should be encouraged not criminalised.
We have the ludicrous situation where someone can be fined for being on a deserted beach (tut tut), when many people happily queue up with hundreds of people to get into a supermarket.
I saw this queue and walked away considering it dangerous...

The reason we leave supermarkets open is because we can't go without food and essentials for long. Clearly some people are still going too often- I know one vulnerable person who goes daily to show their Dunkirk spirit- and if lockdown continues for say 6 months better restrictions will have to be put in place- eg more of the Morrisons food parcels, or one shop slot a week).
The reason things like sunbathing in parks is not acceptable is because the message has to be simple- stay at home apart from the 4 stated exceptions. If you said sunbathing is okay then maybe golf, or going to the beaches or sitting on park benches and lots of other things would have to be listed as permissible. Again if it becomes a 6 month lockdown then the rules would have to change, but surely people can go a few more weeks without sunbathing on beaches

Seems to me we are too over the top and indeed it has shown the Chief Constables who would love a Police State.
If the Governement dont start showing signs of ifting restrictions then I predict civil unrest. REduced (or zero) pay ackets will soon be hitting home and once the weather turns people will simply have had enough.
All well and good for these 'experts' no doubt on full tax payer funded incomes using us all a one big experiment.
