What I do object to is playing rounds of golf, driving out to lochs for "exercise", or ambling round retail parks cause the wean is doing your head in. If people with gardens can stay in them I won't have to dodge as many muppets when I'm out running so I approve.

Any P&Bers wearing a face mask when out and about? My mate who's a doctor told me to buy surgical masks of amazon early on in this. 10 for £8, they are cheap shit looking things, not had to go into a shop since they arrived but if I need to go to a supermarket I will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty dingus Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Seen this elswhere. The US is fucked. This picture is from 3pm today. You can see exactly where Duval County ends and St. John’s County begins. All beaches in Duval are closed, while St. John’s only blocked parking at the beach. Gov. DeSantis needs to order a state-wide closure of all Florida beaches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Loch Lomond is probably similar to that Florida beach picture with all these roasters claiming that they "didn't see a soul" on their 100 mile round trip for essential exercise. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your car breaks down you need to call out emergency services. If you're in a crash it's a strain on the health service. If you need petrol you're touching the pump and going into the garage. If you roll your ankle climbing a hill then you need medical help. All of these things are true when there's no coronavirus of course but just now we are being told we need to flatten the curve to assist the NHS. These points are all unlikely risks, but they are risks nonetheless. Emergency services have also come out and advised not to be driving out to these places to walk the dog etc too. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a guess but I imagine that a few individuals driving around to get exercise is fine and no worse than running round the streets or parks around where you live. I think it's more about if that sort of behaviour was allowed or condoned, you'd get tonnes of folk turning up at the same places at the same time.

Yes, road accidents can take up huge amounts of resources, that's the reasoning I heard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I heard someone speaking about this specifically on the news the other night. Might even have been Bojo. They said that if they say it's ok, everyone will do it, resulting in busy countryside places defeating the measures. So it's not ok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any P&Bers wearing a face mask when out and about? I live in a pretty much rural area, and haven't been wearing a mask, anywhere , till now. As the lack of testing is , in my view, pretty much criminal.., and after the rapidly increasing death rate, I wore a mask this morning for going into the Sainsbury's supermarket in the nearest small town. Several of their staff were also wearing masks. They were letting customers in one at a time. Queue of us in a long line, giving each other a wide berth. Didn't take long to get in. No one was hanging around inside, just quick shopping and getting out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
