Potential ban on exercise looming according to Health secretary

They’re showing their true colours.

Use public transport sparingly - ok
Don’t work within 2 metres of each other - ok

Don’t exercise in the fresh air. - up yours.

Some people are flouting the rules of social distancing and mingling with friends; sunbathing on the beach in grouos is dangerous  ... arrest them ...
Its a fundamental right to be protected from idiots who may be carrying a potentially fatal disease ...

"Health" secretary What next ? Compulsory smoking ?

If you had a lung condition that was exacerbated by petrol fumes causing potentially fatal issues Geordie would you demand people on your road sell their cars? I dont agree with groups socialising in these times but there is also an onus on people with health issues to protect themselves as well not expecting everyones life to come to an end accommodating them

This guy has got to go. He seems to think the UK public are his children. Boris needs to have a serious look here at if this **** is going to do more harm than good.

What if you live in a high rise flat or a house without a yard / garden, what is Hanc0ck proposing dog owners do with their pooches, potty train them?

Nothing wrong with going out on a stroll or a jog on your own away from people, you will end up going mad if you dont go out at all.

and the hottest day of the year so far, suggesting a potential ban on exercising could be looming, that'll deffo keep people in their houses today

a lot of us on here are used to staying in for days upon end , betting and posting on here, im probably going out more now than i did few weeks back . 

As WD says on another thread, why is there no encouragement for people to build up their immunity?

Eating well, plenty of exercise etc all helps to fight off bugs.

You could run up and down the stairs to exercise, however that's probably more dangerous.

mp,s,media very quick to call this a war,got this vison in a real war of in between soldiers fighting,their been cycle ways and jogging lanes for people to carry on exercising,
real leadership by a health sec would be to say you can go without exercise for a few weeks,months like their doing in itzaly,spain etc
to claim as he,s just said on tv that sunbathers can /are costing lives but joggers and cyclists arnt is plainly ridiculous

The Queen apparently will reference the Blitz tonight. My old man things that’s absurd...’nothing like the Blitz’ he says. And he should know.

As I keep saying the people who are leading or rather heading the fight against Covid-19 all got it

I will look after myself and my family thank you

and yet the Flights continue

Never knew that she was a fan of The Sweet.

this could be an all out war developing between the exercisers and the sunbathers  ... 

the sunbathers will make gains as the spring goes on and possibly outnumber the exercisers in time ...  worrying scenes ...exercisers will  blame the sunbathers for sure

although the sunbathers not happy being lumped together with the covidiots who seem to be smaller in number 

the sunbathers seem to be social distancing  and actually less of a risk than the exercisers

Do as I say not as I do

want to get about, GET A BIKE,

easy solution to empty the parks, OPEN THE PUBS

They can feck off if they start testing patience, tbh.
I totally get being responsible, I really do, I'm doing the thing they ask, but if they start pushing it. F.O.

Lord bath dead, owner of longleat

funny watching Britain having to abide by a few basic rules like not going to a park or a beach 


yeah ..stay in your garden ,lay out in the sun with a cold beer,  have a relaxing time and listen to some music   ...but no ...even that's an impossible ask ...

it's like  taking a load of  7 year old's out for the day     


if you don't like the simple rules ,then don't accept the handouts 

The flexing of establishment muscles is obscene. Plod loving their new powers to be killjoys.

This virus certainly ticks all the boxes.....

Can be asymptomatic but still contagious
Can be asymptomatic for 14 days THEN develop symptoms
Affects people differently
Is so contagious going for 2 walks a day endangers life
Is so mild most people don’t know they have had it

Is so lethal it spreads  by people walking in the Lake District or on beaches in any weather.
Lives on surfaces for 3 days
Is so mild we’ll keep the tube open despite social distancing being impossible
Wearing a mask in public makes no difference
Wearing a mask in a hospital is essential

Everybody has to wear a mask where I live
500 quid fine if you are in public without one!!

Millions of people in Britain don't have gardens.

Let's get back to a bit of Darwinism this is becoming insane
Survival of the fittest

Wearing a mask in public makes no difference
Wearing a mask in a hospital is essential

Injera, do you need this explained to you (again.....).?

Thailand is on lockdown, curfews every night, alcohol bans in some places, army on the street
The official death toll since January is 20!!
The official figures are BS but even so, this is bonkers
100 die on the roads everyday here too btw, the most dangerous roads in the world!

Yes I do JC.

Some idiots still treating the enforced and (paid) isolation/hibernation as holidays. What total prats!

They only tell the public that to stop them hoarding them and thus making them unavailable to the front line

I mean we've had about 3 weeks of CONSTANT explanations as to why a mask is relevant in some situations, why for example a surgeon might wear one (and it was never so he wouldn't catch a disease himself), so anyone with any sense should have picked it up, but I'm interested on your take.

Is it for conspiracy reasons?

The UK is practising herd mentality by stealth, allowing a steady and manageable number of people to get infected.... They hope!

I'd like some definitive answer from a qualified medicalprofessional on whether wearing a mask in public is vital.
If there is one provide a link and we all do it. It's not a hardship.

Not wearing a mask in public if made legal would be so easy to police
The fineable would be easier to spot/punish and if no coppers are around then mask wearers could set about the clean mouthed with impunity.

illegal*

I wear a 3m n95 respirator and they are very uncomfortable, especially in 40 degree heat!

We have to wear them all the time, not allowed in any shops either without one!

Where's that jucel?

Thailand

Oh I thought you could enlighten me JC!

I’ve looked at the studies which are inconclusive. Decent article here for example . https://time.com/5815251/should-you-wear-a-mask-coronavirus/

Juce’s  point is a good one but masks can still be sourced and homemade is also possible.

The advice is stay at home. Why? To not spread nor contract the virus. Most are doing this. When we venture out most are keeping their distance. Surely though a mask would be an added protection when we do go out for food, work or our exercise? It may not guarantee our safety but it must help by at least a few percent. It’s all about the droplets from our breath. Anything to protect our mouth and also eyes must help.

Some say it lowers inhibitions making us more careless. I think the opposite. It reinforces the ‘stay away from me’ message.

Shops here are still fully stocked with all food so that's one good aspect

Also we touch our mouth, nose a lot subconsciously so it stops that too
I also wear sunglasses all the time

"It reinforces the ‘stay away from me’ message."

I just do this by loudly garbling nonsense about 5G wherever I go, and then giving them a death stare if they are mad enough to make eye contact.

Works for me :)

But seriously: All the "evidence" is masks help stop spreading a lot, but not so much taking it in.
I've a few DIY masks around but don't bother.

Hancock is an idiot. Theres no way people are going to stop their exercise. I certainly wont.

I think the main reason wearing a mask in public is not advised is because there's already a shortage of that for key NHS workers without the public joining the customer/user chain. Another is it could induce a false security for wearers eg going out more, and animosity towards those without or not doing so for specific health reasons.

But, neither will beat the advice of staying at home ie you cannot infect and you cannot contract, if so.

Maybe cling-film ones face and mouth. and breath thro' a tube strategically attached, wearer dependent or accordingly.

The public have been absolutely superb. Work has virtually stopped. Nearly all shops are shut. Trains, buses and tube have seen a massive fall in usage.

No pubs, cafes or restaurants open. No sport.

Spying on walkers or picnickers isn’t going to make a jot of difference compared with the above.

Dotch ...they're public school morons,  we all know that  .. I wouldn't want them running my finances   ...

however , we need to get a grip as a nation  ...exercising is great  ,but this week i've seen more runners ,joggers and cyclists than i've ever seen in my whole life

it's like the world and his dog are training for the 2021 Olympics .

It's obviously some sort of uprising ,but between the sunbathers and the joggers this could get nasty 

Coach, are any of these sunbathers wearing bikinis, and do you have photos?
We, the rightuous of chit chat, must observe the evidence.
[Direct mail preferred].

Daily walking for the last two years has reversed my diabetes and cut both the top and bottom number of my blood pressure by 20.
Hell will freeze over before I sit at home just to please a **** like Hancock.
All he will achieve is lose the goodwill of many and make things much much worse.

biggest craze in uk are beards,stubble,3/4 day growth all of which prohibit you from getting a properly sealed fit of a facemask,wonder if dr,s /nhs workers get a face fitting cert whilst sporting facial hair,your normaly told the day before fitting test to be clean shaven,rather deveats the object if soon as you have your cert to grow facial hair again, its quite disorientating doing a proper test breath in and out heavily, for a few  min,count to 120 etc,etc,move your head side to side,up and down etc,etc

When will we ever get the government paying for 80% of time-off work (plus 20% for the fortunate ones) and mortgage holiday, free overdraft and temporary freeze of loans and credit cards payments for the next 3 months? Some have never had it better, and with the lovely weather the greedy, stupid and foolish will welcome with open arms.

As the peak is approaching I believe staying at home is the best strategic policy; exercising need not be outside the house/flat with or without a garden at this juncture - one cannot be too careful.

Take the advice from NHS workers eg nurses, medics, police and care home personnel.

Thats over the top impossible but feel free to stay home all day if you want. Others want to get out and can do so in a responsible way and will continue to do so.

All they are doing is seeing how far their can push their luck,how much more people will stand for it.

Yes getting ready for it in Shelly Road near town centre up on their lifters.

Tried talking to Cllr Yallop but never get an answer-cant tell you how surprised I was at that one Coach.
