    I’m watching the motorbikes go by on the main road down the hill today, the A24 from London to Worthing.

    Most of these bikers will be going out to enjoy a ride in the fresh spring air, in the sunshine, they will likely fuel up at a Pay at The Pump without taking their gloves off, & they will likely be carrying a flask of coffee. I’m not sure these people are spreading any contagion & are likely no risk.

    Then I see a very few cars packed with luggage & family, but I think many of these will be families retrieving students from university digs, yes, potentially a high risk of contagion, but what happens in 3 months when everywhere is locked down & the students vacate their digs for the summer anyway? Perhaps they’re right to be returning to their families now.

    Yes, there are a very few camper vans & no doubt cars full of families vacating rented London flats for their owned coastal cottages, but why would you stay in London paying rent on a property you don’t need because you’ve been laid off or can work from home?

    As for people going on holiday, well, that really is stupid.
