Coronavirus outbreak

Doesn't appear to stipulate how long your cycle ride can be.....

Anyone found anything about walking dogs?
I not wanting to find a way round this just want to know if walking the dog is your daily exercise limit.
I‘m guessing it is. Just wondering if come the morning if that’s both me and the hound done for the day.

My deduction would be one exercise session per day with or without Fido. Presumably Fido could get as many walks per day as the number of people in the home that are prepared/capable of walking the mutt if they were to go solo.

 

[SpokeyDokey]

I suppose each person in the household could walk the dog as their exercise?

That's what we will be doing I think.

@potsy Great minds think alike but yours is obviously the greater as you beat me to it.

If you had read the thread you would have noted my employer was told last Friday it would be 4 weeks before their was the capacity in the IT system for everyone to work at home so I might have to go into work and oddly I might just need to buy some food at some point whereas you no doubt are one of those who have stripped the supermarket shelves bear and have a year or more supply. As I have a food allergy there is no way I can use a delivery service as they are now automatically substituting out of stock items with what they have regardless of its ingredients and if I ate what they provided it would be another drain on the NHS.

Not true and gratuitously offensive.

Sounds like a plan.

It all seems a bit futile to me, those most likely to catch it, nurses, go to work, go home play with their kids then kids go to school to mingle with other protected trades kids etc etc.

 

[slowmotion]

My guess is that if you go to somewhere sufficiently remote, nobody is going to care.

Have you tried getting a delivery from a supermarket recently? It's impossible round here ( West London ). Ocado had 17,000 people queueing online to get a delivery slot this evening...…...and when you got to the front of the queue...…..you were told that there were no slots available.

Impossible here near Lynn too AFAICT

I've had a news alert come through with a little more detail and it says that shops that can stay open are:
Supermarkets, pharmacies, vets, pet shops. hardware stores, retail shops in hospitals, newsagents, petrol stations, banks, post offices, laundrettes and undertakers. You are also allowed to go to work if you can't work from home, but only if you can stay 2m apart from each other. This means that construction sites won't yet have to close, and delivery services can continue. (all just taken from the news).

You forgot the stealing of Oxygen cylinders from a hospital in Manchester....

my Bro works forBOC in Manchester, he tells me that cylinders are disappearing all over the place ,

Can those of us who obeyed the social distancing complain about the loss of liberties which might have been avoided by acting sooner?

I think the answer is 'yes'.

Do I get a prize?

Well that’s 2 walks only 3 days a week then. That’s if the Mrs 73 will be getting any time off as this thing gets going.

Well that’s my Q answered about the building trade, Ms boz has just had manager on and been told to stand down because of the continual contact with the public , problem is a lot of builders I know have had projects pulled due to uncertainty , which has a knock on effect , but that’s on of them , we have to stay safe ,,,

Might need some hospitals building or extending.

Or crematoriums.

If you love the beast here's your answer - not sure where the crap goes though:

For some things it could be possible but the local stores generally seem to operate as a cartel and if one stocks a particular allergy free item the others do not meaning a trek around them all for some items. Also as far as I can see apart from waiting for 3 weeks for a delivery slot they are also not accepting new customers anyway. The lack of attention to people with food allergies is being raised belatedly by the appropriate bodies with the supermarkets, a free click and collect service when they actually have the specific items would be a start but it would be nice if they extended that to a free delivery service as well as somehow in store enforcing their sale only to those that need them as far too much has been sold in the last week the non allergy sufferers.

No supermarket close to work? Or en route with a detour?
