Exactly. A movie theater will have 75 occupants in it this weekend (300 seats at 25%). Yet a GF seeing her BF is a big issue? We overreact to everyone not adhering 100% like a week really mattered. Her seeing her boyfriend isn't an issue. Small change. Now, what all he was doing? That's debatable. We don't really know.
I've played golf about twice a week since this all began. Some think I'm being irresponsible and socializing like normal. Those same people will likely be in a crowd of 100+ in the near future risking it far more than me still outdoors at a golf course.
Great point here and one of the issues, out side of the tragedies going on around the world from Covid-19 obviously, is how this has set some against others for doing completely innocent, safe and allowable activities during all of this. I go to the gym each scheduled training day I have for my own workouts. I, like you, am alone and effecting no one or even coming into contact with anyone. But I am sure there'd be people that would be offended or angered.
It's created a lot of mistrust finger pointing when many really should mind their own business. I honestly also take that into the realm of those actually not socially distancing like the boy the OP mentioned. I wouldn't let my kid, but I wouldn't tell either if I witnessed a group together that "shouldn't be". But, that's just me. B/c I'm a little too libertarian I guess. But I personally think more harm is done telling on my neighbors than what could happen with them being together. Disclaimer here, I have yet to witness much of this as most here in McKinney TX that I have seen when I do go out are respecting the rules and the only things I've witnessed is a "drive by birthday" in the parking lot where we have our gym, and the teens pulling up in the same car to get food in the same parking lot that are obviously not related. But that is me. And I am intelligent enough and respectful enough to know that not everyone shares that view and that's fine. A doctor who has watched 100's of patients pass might not feel the same as I do. Someone who lost a loved one and couldn't be there to say goodbye may not either. Terrible things have happened during all of this no doubt.
