I've got a dog and he needs to be walked. It would be inhumane to expect otherwise.

My daughter is a teacher still working for nhs kids I am probably in more danger from her in my house than being outside.
Does this explain it in easy terms.
We all have different circumstances do you really need someone to explain that?
Same here, Rupert needs 2 hours min of exercise a day

And you believe it...Mmm, watch out, they're behind you watching you...
Whether I believe it or not is neither here not there... The media wanted it believed otherwise why publish? Was also highlighted, in the Marr show, so somebody wants the thought out there...
Didn't use smilies, in my post, as it's no smiling matter...

I'm in the Netherlands. Although we're not in lockdown, pubs, clubs, etc. are closed. Many shops have also decided to close. I don't assume a lockdown will not happen here. I'm walking between 2 and 4 hours a day at the moment. Yesterday, I started to learn how to skip in preparation of a lockdown.

That’s annoying when someone changes your quote to suit themselves.
The mods should ban this practice.

Dog walking is not considered an essential activity here. If you are caught doing it you face arrest

Yes I agree, it's very bad.

I don't know where here is, but certainly I'd be surprised if it's banned in the UK. It's essential for my dog , plenty of times I'd rather stay in but i know he needs the exercise.

Sorry i sometimes forget that location isn't visible on the mobile version of the forum. In Mauritius. I don't know but I suppose they've just weighed up the risk to life of a human against the best practice of keeping a pet

Rubbish!!. Have you forgotten -there is a Cabinet. Do you really think they would allow that one man such power as that?.
Sheesh.
Apparently Joe Wicks got over 800k views on his one this morning. He is doing one for adults and I think kids as well. Good stuff.
My wife is part of a womens running group and they have a FB chat. Most of them are at home now and they did the Joe Wicks workout together. The funniest post was from one woman who stated, 'memo to self, tomorrow I can still do it in my pj's but I MUST put on a sports bra before taking part',

And if that decision then puts other at risk? If that person comes in contact with a member of your family and passes on the virus to them?
You are not doing something legally wrong perhaps, but morally? Ethically? This is something unprecedented in all our memories and we have to totally review how we react.
You have to remember that we have effectively been free of major stress now for 75 years. One of the longest histories without a major conflict that impacts directly on the UK. We've been used to everything being relatively "nice". Most of the people who survived the war are no longer with us. People in WW2 still had memories of WW1 in their minds and psyche. We don't have that now and people just can't seem to really grasp the reality or enormity of the situation.

if the list I've just received is confirmed then my allotted date/time to go shopping this week is Thursday between 10am-3pm (that will be the only time/journey I am allowed outside the home)

Yep! A cabinet of yes men/ladies...
The last cabinet member that dared resist was shown the door...

Course you are in more danger from your daughter's situation.
But, you going out puts you in additional danger, very small in comparison, but it is another risk
But an even bigger but, - By being outside, you are a risk to others. You may not intend to be in contact with others, but circumstances may arise that does bring you into contact( see silh post re his cyclist friend), and so you may spread the virus that you don't know you have. You probably haven't got it, but you don't know.
Sod's law is real?

Surely as an intelligent person you Do!!
'Getting out and about" is a world of difference from going travelling and socialising compared to just being outside.
You must recognise that sun-light and fresh air are both beneficial to physical and mental health? It is advantageous to sleep, blood circulation, digestion and the immune system which is critical at this time. As an adult surely you can see the differences between sensible advice to keep a degree of fitness at a time when sitting around might be the easy option for people confined at home.

Away from the politics...
Found a stash of white cotton gloves which I'll take to wearing when out... Along with my snood/dribble bib, worn bandito style, it won't be a great look but I can lob them in the wash after every trip easy enough... Every little helps...

Mrs SILH has just had me searching out Zumba vids on YouTube for her to be doing three times a week if not daily. I will be joining her (I am told!)
