Lejays17 Doll-A-Week 2020

[Lejays17]

Crowds of people? Aren't you in Victoria, lock-down capital of the southern hemisphere?

Yes, but we are allowed out of the house for excersise.  And walking along the river is great excersise 

So everybody walks along the river? At the same time? In the same place? Completely negating any effectiveness, already questionable at best, of the lockdowns? Okay. Sounds like... pretty much everywhere else, then!

We’ve got lots of places to walk along the river (got more than one of them too   ), the amount of people were a combination of things.
1. We could travel more than 5km from home
2. It was a Public Holiday (bank holiday)
3. The weather was nice for outside activities
4. Nothing was open, so people head for the parks 
5. It might be always that busy, we haven’t been to that particular place in about 10 years.  Plus it looked like they were doing some upgrades/works to the car park areas so there was limited parking.
6. Everyone we saw of the appropriate age (under 12 are not required) were wearing masks properly, so this reduces chances of community transmission.
