Yes it is flawed but if they can’t use these areas responsibly then they go get closed and they go without and will have to get the minimum exercise outdoors on the pavement or empty roadside.

Suspect there is also a Tom Sawyer aspect to this - had the government instructed everyone to go to the park every day there would be thousands refusing.

It's nice to agree with you for this is spot on.

Some things are bigger than personal liberty and this is one. Until it's over we need to climb off our high horses and do what's right for the benefit of everyone.

Yesterday people were given the OK to drive for up to 5 mins from home to get to somewhere to take their exercise. Laying down sunbathing isn't exercise. If you need to drive to a park to find some space then do so.

I do though wonder about people just walking, or worse jogging, 2 metres behind each other as they will soon be in the space vacated by the person in front. 2 metres and no movement makes sense but when moving try to make an appropriate allowance for your speed.

We are lucky here as we can find footpaths and other spaces where in the early evening there is only the occasional dog walker. In a city more care and thought is needed.

So do take care.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

3 months and it probably would go if stuck to advice.
Last year no one liked the sun as it was 'too hot'
This year every fat w***er who never exercised suddenly wants to. It seems that authority has a negative effect on some. Maybe once their lungs are being operated by a ventilator and some are dying they may wish they had at least tried to take that advice.

A balance. That’s his succinct viewpoint. There’s been some logical callers and some very bizarre ones. The best was a doctor saying everyone was going to die because most people in this country have underlying health conditions. She couldn’t counter the presenter’s points or answer his questions and just made her side of the argument less credible. ‘You aren’t even a medical spokesperson and won’t ever be’ was the best put down before putting the phone down, even though she’s probably risking her own health at work.

All shopping that comes in my front door gets wiped with a anti bac wipe (I know it isnt bacteria but not many anti viral ones around) fresh stuff all comes ready bagged potatoes mushrooms etc. As still working I go in small stores early morning so less crowded. Minimum effort to wipe over packaging. Bags go in landfill and gloves thrown along with hands washed. Just doing that should limit the risk even a small amount.
Awareness will limit risk as well.
