I am not buying the faux 'no one told me I couldnt....they said we could excerise. The government havent been clear enough' that I saw on the news, coming out of the mouths of people in the 30s, seemingly intelligent people packed o to monkey bars in London parks.
They knew exactly what they were doing they know the advice that says you can excerise. It does not say exercise with less than a foot from a load of other people. It doesnt say....you must go do some pullups in the park, because you cant possibly just survive by having a walk on your own or a run.
In reality the government shouldnt have to lock us down. Social distancing rules are really really clear. Its selfishness that's making people pile into parks, markets etc.
I get there confusion around who is a key worker or who is extremely vulnerable. But most of us have the capacity to look at our own lives and make decisions. I am a key worker, technically. I looked at it, I dont think I am really. The people who work for my company who are are the boots in the ground people. Yes they need some admin support, but we can arrange that whilst minimising exposure and without putting my kids in school. So that's what I am doing. Just because I can, get my kids into school, doesnt mean i should.
Just because my dad can get into supermarkets are reserved shopping times (mum is vulnerable and dad works for the NHS), he doesnt. Unless he actually needs to.
The country shouldn't have to go into lock down, to stop intelligent people piling into the park together for a workout.
