Is everyone as confused as me?

I can’t find the latest advice and rules on how many people can get together in public spaces. There seem to be groups of 30 partying together, which seems to be a bit risky. The only rules I can find say the maximum is 2, but that’s dated a week ago. I thought that a figure of 6 was mentioned? 

Or are all rules now discredited? 
No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    The rules still remain, one person may meet one other from outside the household, only in a public open space, not at home, and keep 2 m apart.  Different rules in Northern Ireland, I think.

    OR, if you invite Dominic Cummings you can do whatever you like with whoever you like.

    Though he wasn't with anybody else other than a familiy member.
    Seen enough far worse breaches around here to write a book. 
    Looking after oneself is common sense really. As long as the disease exists there's going to be a risk.

    Looking after one self is one thing but really driving 30 miles to check eyesight is ok who does that? and if really that concerned you would not take wife and child with you.

    If someone has eyesight issues they shouldn't be driving at all.

    It was suggested in one of the briefings, that if he was concerned about his eyesight why couldn't his wife have driven or if it was sooo important, a car could have been sent for him.
    But yes, I have seen far worse transgressions that that in the last 10 weeks

    Long running thread already on DC. Maybe we could keep it to that one?
