They would in normal times, have officers on the streets having to deal with drunken behaviour etc. So not necessarily extra spending or staff required.

I too thought that it could be better to shield at risk groups and let the rest go about their business as normal, but a couple of days ago both Johnson and Sturgeon said that this wouldn't work as the virus would find it's way to the vulnerable by doing this.

I've shut myself away for several weeks now, because of a localized increased risk. How much longer should I do that, so that others can continue with their selfish behaviour?
