Your point wasn't being missed at all Dave, you were quite correct when you said that the virus seizes the opportunity to spread where people gather in large numbers so I thought that there was no need to emphasise something that is obvious.
On the matter of second homes then that rule is also crystal clear, the owners of second homes should not come into Wales, that is against the law and there are no mitigating circumstances that allow living in the second home.
These people know the law and some are devious and try to get to their second homes under the cover of darkness and by having their belongings sent separately by courier van to avoid getting detected. Unfortunately if they get to their second homes without getting detected then the Police do not have the power to evict them from that property
You will find that people who break one law are quite capable of breaking others too. The Police have found this out to their cost when they have stopped cars and motorbikes that have come over the border. No road tax, MOT's, insurances and false number plates have resulted in many vehicles being seized and the offenders fined and sent on their way back home.
Draconian Rules? Do you think for one minute that we all enjoy staying at home and not being able to meet our friends and family?
We do it for the sake of our health and to protect the health of others and also because it is the law.
Just look at other countries like Spain, France, Germany, Ireland and Scotland and see the measures that they have put in place.
England on the other hand although it has acted with integrity hasn't been listening to the scientists for the last 4 weeks so now it has to go into lockdown for at least a month but probably more if what Michael Gove said yesterday is true
I was shocked and disappointed that Cllr Sam Rowlands said in early October that he was going to arrange a peaceful demonstration on Llandudno Promenade.
Then we have the Facebook group organising a protest demonstration on the Promenade on the 25th October 2020 which was completely irresponsible and stupid in the circumstances.
I just hope that no one in that large crowd caught the virus as a result of the meeting and I am equally disappointed that the Police did not fine the organisers of this meeting £10K because they certainly deserved it
