Turns out that mixed messaging produces mixed results

I think the '6ft apart' rule is perfectly possible, but am amazed there are not public information adverts on TV showing people exactly how to do it - in parks, in shops etc. Telling-by-showing is the best way to get the msg across, not a jumble of words from a No.10 lectern.

Paul Waugh MP Lack of public info campaign is utterly baffling and troubling: where’s the direct mail to every household, the instruction from Govt to mobile operators to send mass texts to customers; reminders on the hour across network radio & TV??

Really don’t understand why this isn’t happening? Surely it’s one of the most direct routes of communication to people. If Govt asked I doubt the mobile operators would be able to refuse. #SocialDistancing

I watched the Prime Minister’s press conference in despair. In a public health emergency communication and information saves lives. Yet time & again the Government keeps failing to push out a strong clear message to everyone. For all our sakes they urgently need to get a grip.

Plain wrong for #UKGov & #media to blame people going to parks & beaches when Boris Johnson messages so woolly & contradictory. Get a grip

Government messages on social distancing clearly aren't getting through There needs to be a much more comprehensive public education campaign And No Matt Hancock, a poster doesn't cut it

More clarity on what counts as #essential is, essential. Much media saying any work you can't do at home can continue. Is that right?

As the weekend approaches you may well be tempted to go out and socialise. Please don’t. Staying at home will save lives. It may be the life of someone you know and love. No one is pretending this is going to be easy but it is so important #StayHomeSaveLives

Britain has suffered the worst 24 hour coronavirus hospital death toll on the European continent, and large swathes of the British media are currently focusing on Boris Johnson downloading Love Actually and Withnail & I.
