I agree with the principle, but to avoid military involvement will require the people (or the overwhelming majority of the people) to act responsibility. An effective police force needs the people to self police as well.
In which case the 2m rule applies to office space.

Likewise, combining each person's exercise with dog walking which although Boris didn't mention it is just as essential as going t- dog walking.
We can live within both the letter of and the spirit of all this except this "going shopping as infrequently as possible"
I've avoided panic buying so far, and I've been lucky enough to be able to buy enough loo roll and rice to be going on with.... but it now seems to be necessary to make daily (or more frequent) trips to all the various local supermarkets in a forlorn hunt for some basic things we are now running short of:
flour, yeast, pasta, ibuprofen/paracetamol, dog biscuits, all of which have disappeared from the shelves.
Individually, none of these are "essential"... l could make (rather coarse) pasta, or even live without it for a couple of weeks, and if it came to it, I could probably dream up a recipe for dog biscuits, but neither are possible without flour. Meanwhile supermarket shelves are filled with a million kinds of processed foods, easter eggs, plenty of meat (which we don't eat), 20 different brands of yoghurt... i can even still buy some rather nice soft french cheeses from unpasteurised milk - which have long been almost unobtainable in their country of origin!
Sorry Boris - but right now "infrequently as possible" = "more frequently than usual" for many of us.

Friends will have enough problems of their own and most of them live too far from me... and i dont have family that live anywhere near me. A couple of my neighbours would help out if necessary.
Apart from stuff like bread & milk, i reckon i'll be ok for meals for 10/12 days. I have enough dog food for about 3 weeks. So no probs for a while.

It says to minimise time outside
An hour might be acceptable, 4 or 5 less so
From the .gov link
Shopping for basic necessities, for example food and medicine, which must be as infrequent as possible.
One form of exercise a day, for example a run, walk, or cycle - alone or with members of your household.
Any medical need, or to provide care or to help a vulnerable person.
Travelling to and from work, but only where this absolutely cannot be done from home.
These four reasons are exceptions - even when doing these activities, you should be minimising time spent outside of the home and ensuring you are 2 metres apart from anyone outside of your household.
