Definitely limit your time or remove social media apps would help.

Wow Dan Wotton and Peter Hitchens? Double cretins.

?

At the moment yes, guessing big strain on warehouses that require human pickers and delivery drivers so may be restricted in future...

Re the list from The Sun, taken from here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/874732/230320_-_Revised_guidance_note_-_finalVF.pdf See exceptions list on table.

Travis Perkins are closing, just announced. No confirmation from the others yet. Sounds like could be click and collect only for 'essential' items according to Twitter.

Fairly sure it won't/can't be monitored. They've suggested 1 as in other countries people were using the exercise reason as an excuse to go out, and ended up banning that too.

Most vets around here are only open for emergencies only. A few have closed completely as ventilators gone to NHS

close all shops selling non-essential goods, including clothing and electronic stores and other premises including libraries, playgrounds and outdoor gyms, and places of worship;w we will stop all gatherings of more than two people in public – excluding people you live with; and we’ll stop all social events, including weddings, baptisms and other ceremonies, but excluding funerals. That is why people will only be allowed to leave their home for the following very limited purposes: shopping for basic necessities, as infrequently 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, to provide care or to help a vulnerable person; and travelling to and from work, but only where this is absolutely necessary and cannot be done from home. You should not be meeting friends. If your friends ask you to meet, you should say No. You should not be meeting family members who do not live in your home. You should not be going shopping except for essentials like food and medicine — and you should do this as little as you can. And use food delivery services where you can

There's obviously going to be some tough times ahead, a lot of readjusting and change but not quite sure we are at doomsday scenarios yet...

They will need to bring in the lock down soon, just seeing some of the comments on social media of the amount of people not following advice is crazy. People genuinely asking about where they can take kids next week to visit, soft plays etc, and saying they wont stop their kids meeting up with large groups of friends.

https://www.buzzfeed.com/amphtml/joeydurso/army-lockdown-london-coronavirus-fake-news?__twitter_impression=true Yeah one of numerous fake images doing the rounds

https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/18/italy-charges-more-than-40000-people-violating-lockdown-coronavirus?CMP=share_btn_tw&__twitter_impression=true "On 10 March a 30-year-old man was stopped by the police in Turin at 2.30am while soliciting a sex worker."

Cheers for that! Checked online and they had some backlash for it being in store only so they are doing limited online sales too with the code BOGOF just bought some birthday presents for my daughter!

Sensible move. Hopefully some can benefit from this

Assume this could be closing schools, canceling sporting events etc.

Results back negative

Yeah Friday night gigs at SWX have a 10pm curfew so headliner is usually on just after 8

Probably my favourite comments I've seen so far. The amount of health experts on social media is astounding now. Definitely a Chinese conspiracy.

Did my first half marathon distance this week in 1 hour 50. Enjoying getting out and like the long distances rather than a 5k! I now know what fartleks and intervals are as was chatting to a proper runner who said I need to do these in my shorter runs to gain speed. To be honest I'm not in the smashing PBs space at the moment so happy to build up gradually.

Good work everyone! Still going strong, averaging about 30k a week depending on work and weather! I am tempted to sign up to a few organised 10ks or the Bath Half and raise some money for charity, how have people found running the mass events like that for the first time? I quite enjoy just putting my headphones in and being in my own space so not sure how I would find the big events like that

I am getting there, managed to 100k in November which I was pleased with. Just run my longest distance of 20k in just under 1 hour 55. So any tips on nipple chafing?! Vaseline doesn't work and rubs off, used microporous tape which is okay but painful to take off! seen stuff online called body glide but doesn't look much different to Vaseline. I have ordered some Under Armour tight compression tops which I have read may help but any advice is appreciated!
