Also threatening to ban something is likely to tempt more people to do something before it is banned.
So threatening to ban going out for exercise on a baking ghost Sunday is fucking stupid

I get your point but the vast majority of the deaths are in the elderly.
He was on the same programme and said if it has to get to that we will be behind the government
I think you may not understand what the word scaremongering means
If idiots are taking advantage of the 1 daily excercise rule then i dont mind them banning it personally
Cases and deaths down again in Spain! Brilliant news
He doesn't say anything apart from describing what's happening, no predictions of many deaths. You ought to look up scaremongering.
I think it's more case of him not wanting to say something to controversial on day 1
Oh, I do. I really do. You're another of those on here who should be ashamed of themselves. When this is all over, I hope you have a good look at yourself in the mirror.
Aye, but a spell on a ventilator is a life changing experience, it isn't just like recharging a phone. The consultant here has said that most cases he has are not elderly, so God help the elderly around there.
I think it would be a mistake. It's keeping a lot of people sane.
People should just adhere to the guidelines though then we wouldn't need this conversation.
Exactly. I have stopped recently but i was doing a run aroind the block then home
But i hear of people going to memorial park to excercise. Is that really neccesary?
My point was that there is no evidence to show this repeated around the country
the scariest thing I read is the aftercare that can been needed should you be misfortunate enough to go on a ventilator- everyone different obviously but in some cases you have to literally be taught how to walk again, you don’t just take it off and saunter off home
No it's a legal take, to tell people what to do they would need to change the law.
lots of tests for healthcare workers being sent to Germany, they can analyse and turn them around faster than we can, so more are getting done now which is good
There's probably more going on than is being reported and we should error on the side of caution and take social distancing seriously. However, if you think it's all scaremongering, best you take advantage of the weather and go to the beach, have a BBQ with your mates, or try some sunbathing in the park.
Fair point. It does look like that 3 night Stereophonics gig might have had some impact but then it might not.
I ran past the park yesterday and it was more packed than it had been all week but they had stewards in the car park and each car had at least 1 clear spaces either side
I don't know if stewards were enforcing distancing measures inside though when I've walked through there everyone seems to be quite sensible.
It's easy to say don't go to places like Coombe or the Memorial but if it's a nice day and you don't have the benefit of the garden it's hard to keep kids locked up all day.
I don't think it's hard to go out and stick to the distancing guidelines though.
My hair was getting too long so I put a no2 blade on my clippers and sorted it out. It hasn’t been this short since primary school and the mrs has gone mental :emoji_joy:
About 3 years ago a good mate of mine got a very serious chest infection that hospitalised him. It wasn’t as serious that he needed a ventilator but it did spread to his respiratory track putting him on oxygen for a week. It took him best part of a year to fully recover and even then it was only because he went on a complete lifestyle change both losing weight, cutting down on alcohol and taking regular light exercise. He was told that because he’d had an infection in his respiratory tract he’d most likely be susceptible to them again in the future. Anyone of any age who gets this to a seriousness that they’re going to have to be put on a respirator can expect it to possibly have consequences for the rest of their life.
Except you made two points. And couldn’t they just use a statutory instrument?
No as would need to amend a current law.
The point is they wre not able to just say outside exercise is banned
Not discounting the psychological effects of needing a machine to breathe
