A highly complex situation cannot be explained via simple statements to a satisfactory degree
That's like saying to those who handle nuclear waste 'just be careful with it and you'll be alright'
Finally, the ONSS & Chris Whitty have said we're reaching the limits of what we can do. But Boris is still going ahead with returning to the workplace and opening schools.
If the government tries to curb social activity to allow economic activity to increase the British public as a whole I suspect will not tolerate it.

So where is it curbing social activity in order to allow economic activity?

Venues that had been due to open tomorrow will not do so until at least 15 August. These include bowling alleys, skating rinks and casinos, Boris Johnson says.
Changes to wedding celebrations will also be postponed, he adds.

Let's be honest here, if it had been left any longer(even just hours) then the number of cases would've shot up dramatically in the days to come. It's still going to shoot upwards anyway, because they are not going to follow the instructions of what is needed.
The media a taking the approach of "if it doesn't say you can't touch nuclear waste with your feet, then you are allowed to do just that".
Common sense and underlying principles don't come into it.
If people living in an area have been told to stay away from others, that ALSO applies to them meeting up with people in other areas. The virus DOESN'T magically dissappear if they went to those other areas. Everybody is too busy looking for a "get out excuse".
