Normal and supernormal are defined terms in economics. You can't conflate the two in this way in the context of the advice from Mogg's investment group.

Newly elected Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner told Sophy Ridge it was "all right for people who have got big houses and huge back gardens" to tell sunbathers observing social distancing to stop doing so.
"If you're stuck in inadequate accommodation... and you're all on top of each other, quite literally, then I think people should do social distancing and should keep their distance, but also be reasonable and proportionate about that," she said.
Harriet Harman, MP for Camberwell and Peckham, has called for a rota for the use of public parks, writing on Twitter that families in flats with young children need green spaces during the lockdown.

I see Labour still showing their contempt for people's safety and encouraging everybody to ignore the lockdown.

Nothing in that link supports your assertion. Did you post the correct link?

Re: Coronavirus
They're giving people an excuse to ignore the lockdown. Doesn't have to be explicit, just enough to plant the idea in people's minds that it's perfectly ok to go out for no real justifiable reason at all. They are deliberately and maliciously subverting the notion of lockdown.
If they were remotely interested in the health of the nation, they should take the approach of "Unfortunately in the current circumstances, people should remain at home". Would that be so hard for them?

Re: Coronavirus
Angela Rayner is doing her one trick and turning it into a class war issue. No surprise there.

Not a fan, but I hope he is OK - this virus crisis means we have to rise above politics.

Obviously hope he's okay but I also hope that it helps people get the message - stay home.
