It reads like a rule to me...
Do not meet others, even friends or family.

Oops - I've touched a nerve! Sorry.Sweden Thick as S....
Their reasoning. We have a lot of space and few people... Not in Stockholm. Where 18 died in a day.
Our society trusts each other to follow the rules... Not in Stockholm they dont. They are all sat out in the sunshine at cafes, next to each other.
Dont start me on the Swedes.

It seems that some people are interpreting the rules to suite their own circumstances.

Done my first lot of exercise earlier today. Some high intensity work on turbo on patio. Listening to AC/DC. Will do my second when my wife gets home. Probably a walk round local park with her.

More like ignore them because they consider them inconvenient to their routine.

Weather bright, cold and windy here. Did 16 mile country lanes circuit - not too fast as some of it is off road plus battling a headwind for half of it. I was feeling miserable this morning and had to force myself to go out. Feeling much better now

I'm alternating 40-50km rides every few days, and 10-15km walks with E. It's easy for us in a small market town where we can be in countryside in 5-10 mins. Also gardening, & shopping for ourselves and elderly neighbours.

I'm trained in Risk Assessments and COSHH assessments - this is exactly how such things work.
It quite literally says "Guidance" in the links. However, we are digressing somewhat from the topic which was meant to be light hearted and about what people are doing for their daily exercise.
Sadly I don't have a Zwift, but I am enjoying taking the kids out for a constitutional on the now very quiet roads. Youngest is up to about 3 miles, the older child up to about 12 miles. Will they maintain this into the Easter Holidays though...

Are you saying because you are trained in RA and COSHH this entitles you to ignore the current rules.or have I misinterpreted your reply If so I apologise in advance.

Exactly. @icowden and his BIL might be prepared to take the risk for their own families, but it is also doubling the risk to other people either of those families may later come into contact with. They are doubling the risk of someone, maybe not themselves, needing to take up valuable health care, continuing to overload the NHS.
It is not about what is good for him, but what is good for the community, no matter how much he tries to justify his actions.
