For pity's sake, please look at the affair with at least a modicum of common sense. If the overreaction of the police had not made the news, who would have been influenced by the actions of the two ladies in question? Certainly not the 'thousands' you are going on about. Don't forget, the reason they went where they did was to find somewhere less crowded than nearer sites. How were they to know it would be crowded with police?
You make the point that the Peak District with the amount pf population nearby is a prime possibility for spreading the infection. I don't know the area, so will take your word for it. That, however, begs the question. The ladies in question did not go to a crowded area, they did not encourage others to join them, they maintained social distancing - they did everything right. In this particular instance, the police did just about everything wrong.
Two questions for you
1. Do you, or do you not, regard a cup of coffee as a picnic - not the first time I have asked. What's the problem - a simple yes or no will suffice
2. Are you going to apologise to Crabbyob for the disgraceful comment you made? To infer, as you plainly did, that he is happy see thousands dying, shocks me - I thought you better than that. Attempting to wrap it up as a question the way you did cuts no ice
