There's no doubt the press paint the worst picture.I'm not sure if it was linked to here ( I think not) but some weeks back there were articles about how busy Brighton beach had been, with photos. The webcam footage from the same time/day showed a completely opposite story.
Personally I've never been much of a beach fan anyway and I am still OK with riding this out mostly at home for a few more weeks. I have space, and all my toys etc, and still one or two small jobs to get done. We're walking most days for a couple of hours and the weather has been kind. We're keeping shopping events to a minimum, certainly by over-buying some stuff, but there's been no wastage so far of anything (but a head of broccoli bulked up a curry last night as it was starting to look a bit anemic!)
I could be persuaded to meet face to face with my two Sunday night drinking mates in a garden within a few weeks but we are Zooming instead which doesn't replace face to face but we're getting used to it.
My German mates tell me that although their bars have re-opened they have half the tables, you aren't allowed to stand and drink or got to the bar yourself and with everyone wearing face masks it wasn't a great experience. And one said hos local restaurant has perspex barriers between each table, Still, you've got to start somewhere.
