Where I live they closed the beach, and they "closed" the benches across the promenade around the beach, but you're still allowed to exercise. You're not allowed to sit down anywhere.

So everyone is going back and forth in that narrow band, some jogging, others walking their dog, others pretending, etc.

The whole thing makes absolutely no sense.

I think many politicians don't know how humans actually behave and write policy based on the assumption we're robots or slaves. Or maybe they did not realize that reducing the size of the public space we're allowed to use implies a higher density of people in the remaining space we're allowed to use.
