To be honest, I've not seen much of a 'fuck it' attitude from people. Seems people are still generally following the guidance as it's been for weeks/months now just that more places are starting to open up and be subject to those rules.
Popped out to do some shopping today and everywhere I went people were generally sticking distancing, queuing patiently, keeping out of one another's way and still fair few people about wearing masks/gloves. Didn't matter whether it was in the supermarket, B&Q or the local post office, all had taken measures to restrict numbers and direct people around in an efficient way but they all still had a few morons ignoring the guidance doing their own thing as they would've done weeks ago, standing in the way chatting at a pinch point or coming down an aisle the wrong way because they couldn't be arsed to walk around.
I feel for the protesters somewhat as it's an incredibly emotive issue and if you were someone who had been directly affected by it then there must have been such a powerful draw to get involved and make your contribution in spite of the danger those sort of gatherings could potentially pose at this stage. Much less sympathy for the group teenagers crowding in the middle of the high street chasing after one another for the last couple of sweets when there are queues of people down either side trying to get about their business in an orderly fashion.
You'd like to think that by now the measures are pretty well established in people's minds and so even if there was a relaxation in what was enforced and associated punishments that people would still generally stick to the principles, whether out of pure self interest or doing their bit towards the bigger picture. The idiots I witnessed today obviously haven't picked it up yet and so I'd guess they're unlikely to do so now whether the rules are strictly enforced or not, I assume they just all think it's fuss over nothing and don't want to go out of their way to make allowance for it.
I don't think any of the proposed relaxations so far are really going to test things too greatly, it's still generally just a case of allowing more places to open their doors rather than adjusting the main principles, everything so far still comes with the caveat of 2m distancing as far as I've seen. Shouldn't matter whether I'm in a supermarket, clothes shop, restaurant or a family members house, as long as that distancing can be accommodated and other hygienic practices like hand washing are adhered to then the risk level shouldn't be hugely different I wouldn't have thought. We were even talking about starting some sort of football session with our Sunday team the other day because they'd had some guidance through from the local FA, dividing into smaller groups and some suggested drills which could be performed with distancing, I was quite excited by the prospect to begin with but other than seeing a few faces I haven't seen a while I think I'd soon bore of the quasi-football exercises we'd attempt to perform.
