Watch out, everyone, here come the Coronavirus Cops, enjoying their little slice of power way too much

Totally agree. We should be ratting on our neighbours for congregating, driving for the fun of it for a walk 5 miles away or having friends round. All these things increase the risk of the virus from spreading. It may seem trivial that one man is walking on his own somewhere he drove to. But what if he crashes? Not only is it increasing the risk of spreading the virus, but it’s diverting health resources unnecessarily. IF HE DOESN’T DRIVE, HE CAN’T CRASH!

And if you saw someone wandering outside brandishing a gun or a machete, wouldn’t you call the police? Why is this any different?

I don’t get why people are moaning about this. This isn’t a personal rights and freedoms situation. It’s an emergency for fucks sake! Anybody who flouts the rules deserves to be reported. The police are doing an incredible job in the face of adversity (and absurdity), putting their lives at risk for us. People are dying for heavens sake! The fewer people who go out, the fewer people will die. It’s that fucking simple!
