I see a lot of people out and about when I drive out to get my take-out.
It's certainly doesn't seem like the brightest idea, particularly when I saw at least a dozen people on a soccer field.
People really don't get it...

They are generally keeping their distance, with the exception of a lot of kids, teenagers and younger congregating in groups. Families walking together, etc.
Tomorrow isn't supposed to be as nice but I'll take a picture. I live in a residential, rural are@a with a lot of single family homes right next to each other.
I live in a small suburb so I am able to go out and not be anywhere close to other folks thankfully
"generally keeping their distance with the exception of everyone" lol
Oh boy.
So keeping their distance besides all the carriers running around between groups. Got it.

Same in my area. I fully believe it's because they're being asked not to. Once this is all over a lot of these places will be empty again.
The things you're describing are things people shouldn't be doing right now. They're not taking this seriously, and people are going to get sick because of it.
This is bad. People are going this in the UK. They think "Oh, we'll go to the countryside where it's quiet".... And then EVERYBODY from the city is there. They need to get themselves home.
Well what do you want the OP to do anyway? He can't force people to stay in their homes.
OP should get a megaphone and start screaming at people to stay home while on a bicycle.
He's excusing their behavior like he doesn't understand that it's a problem. What I want him to do is understand that the behavior is a problem and stop excusing it. Pretty straightforward! This needs to be a learning moment for people who still don't get it. Both for OP and anyone reading this who doesn't see what the problem is. It's not okay for some people to be running around not understanding this, so it needs to be repeated until people understand.

I don't live in NYC. People apparently don't understand the definition of "rural". With the exception of teens people are generally doing a good job at social distancing, there are just a lot of people outside.
I mean teens can still contract it and spread it to their families, but hopefully your home is rural enough that the virus isn't even there to begin with.
Those kids have families..who they then will go to and bring their totally different non social distancing viruses with them.
THIS ISN'T A FUCKING HOLIDAY THIS IS A GLOBAL PANDEMIC. GO THE FUCK HOME. STOP DOING THIS.
This kind of stupidity is literally getting people killed. This isn't a fucking game.
It will be until it isn't. And then it'll spread like it does in urban centres.
Without social distancing, 1 person can infect entire towns, that's all it takes. We've all seen how this works. For the sake of all that's holy, stop thinking you're the exception to the rule and somehow immune to the spread of a deadly virus.
TBF, Massachusetts is under a stay at home advisory (not an order) and the Governor even said people should go outside for a walk as long as they maintain social distancing.

Do you have teens? Good luck trying to tell them what to do. Go tell their parents to force their kids to stay inside.
People can go out for a walk.
Idk the Wisconsin dept of Health says people can go outside as long as you provide that 6 feet of distance.
I took the dog for a walk yesterday in the park. They have the playgrounds taped off tho.

There's nothing the OP can do to make people stay at home.
And I live in NYC, I know exactly how dangerous it is right now.
Which is why everyone has to follow social distancing and not treat this as a fucking holiday. Limit any outdoor trips to needed ones only. It's not nice but that's the only thing that will contain this.
He is describing people who are NOT practicing proper social distancing.
Yeah we tried that in the UK.
Lasted all a few days before morons used it as a holiday.
We were criticized for being late to the lockdown party even then.
Don't say we didn't warn you.
Considering a large amount of entire countries are under lockdown a number of parents are managing to get their teenagers to respect lockdown rules, yes.
That said the issue is with the groups as you described, not individuals wanting to go outside for a walk in a local area (assuming people aren't travelling distances to it).
