I believe the theory goes that a journo working from home can drive themselves to such a location and meet a lone operator who brings the SNG or VSat vehicle and everything is much more socially distant than if they were working out of the newsroom and did their piece from the studio.
Yes, that complies with the social distancing measures, but part of the guildlines also stipulate no unnecessary travel. We're supposed to be restricting travel, because roaming about increases the risk of accidents. Again I don't think driving scores of miles just to shoot some visual metaphors, is within the spirit of the lockdown.
Pointless lives are one thing during normal times, I'm not clear why they are still permitted in the current period?
