Runners
Make it compulsory for runners to wear masks. They are impossible to avoid and make little effort to apply social distancing. Many older people are terrified of them.
Why the contribution is important
Runners are the group that most flaunt the social distancing rules and are a real barrier to vulnerable people going out for exercise.

Running with a mask on is very uncomfortable.
It is not constructive to demonise particular groups of people, e.g. runners. It is people who are inconsiderate - some run, some walk, some cycle, some do all three.
FYI, it is 'flout' the rules, not 'flaunt' them.

I wish I knew the solution! I guess limiting joggers exercise time to a specific hour at one end of the day or the other might work - but I wouldn't be terribly happy with it if I was a considerate jogger who observed social distancing. Thanks to all who do.
