I'd absolutely agree - in terms of going for a jolly I don't think that's on the cards until social distancing is relaxed somewhat (so likely July/August). 

I'm unsure on how comfortable I am with using the bus to go to shops though. As you say, I don't want to be in a position where I'm going to get some unnecessary shopping on the bus and someone going to work can't travel - I guess the solution would be to travel outside the peaks but that doesn't avoid shift workers. The other possible option where appropriate, for those on non-essential journeys, would be to offer themselves to get off if a key worker needed to travel.
