I fear so.
If pubs are going to open (which, I agree it's far too early), I think they should do what one place I saw on the news was -- pre-booking, limited capacity and table service only (to help keep social distancing). I also think that they should have time-limited slots (one-hour/an-hour-thirty at most) to allow people to have a friendly drink but prevent people going around getting bladdered (where they may lose sight of social distancing)
That's what the pubs in Rochdale town centre are doing.
The trick is to book 6 different pubs for 6 different hours.
