Not adhering to lock down
It is true. People are visiting others, going out in groups, going to work (small businesses), not using one way systems in supermarkets, supermarket staff talking and laughing next to each other, and hairdressers, who have very close contact, still working. If they had all adhered to the rules we might have had a bigger reduction in infection rates and deaths.
Why the contribution is important
There might have been less infections and deaths.

To the poster who mentioned driving to a beauty spot is not putting anyone at risk. Most of these people are then parking up in a rural area and then going for a walk or run, potentially spreading the virus to others they pass. Not to mention visiting a beauty spot isn't essential exercise.
The problem is that we have a nation of people who think they can do exactly what they want, when they want. And it's this entitled mentality that is now making us fare badly during lockdown.
During a recent supermarket trip staff were not supervising at tills, customers piling up and standing almost shoulder to shoulder, somebody behind me coughing and sneezing on me. More than once I had to ask them to wait to put their items on the conveyor until I had paid. Not my job - so why aren't staff doing theirs? No queueing outside, shops packed, people ignoring one way signs and markers at checkouts showing distance for queueing.
Perhaps if people did as they were told our death rate might drop. And if there were clear rules in place for supermarket staff to supervise and ensure customers were following rules (our local Morrisons in Berwick upon Tweed are doing a great job of this!) then that would be helpful.

The number of people wearing any protection ( masks & gloves) in these situations- public transport & supermarkets has dropped significantly. Royal mail services hand over mail unprotected. Everyone who has done a little research knows that this virus is airborne & will survive on surfaces for a good lenght of time .
It looks like an individual easying of the lockdown is happening all around which will give the impression to unconcerned people that the virus is gone .
I think an easying to visit great places outdoors adhering to the rules would be benficial though.
