The problem with going out to parks and country walks etc is that a lot of these places have gates that you need to push or fences you have to climb over at styles, etc. When this happens then we're risking spreading it further as the virus can live on these surfaces for over 72 hours. It doesn't matter if you're wearing gloves or not if you have touched your face or covered your mouth to cough and you are unknowingly infected. Then, if people have travelled somewhere, everyone who touches that gate or fence then risks taking it back to multiple communities. At least when you are local it slows down the spread. It sucks for me as I live in a built up area, but it is what it is. This is the first time I wish I still lived back in rural Scotland in years.

Good point Nev ... we take a hand sanitizer with us to deal with that ... we were a bit lucky there, there was an outbreak of novovirus in the old folks home in Wales where the mother-in-law is so the missus got us each a spray before Covid-19 kicked in ... I was also travelling into St Pancras ever day until lockdown so also came in handy once I got off the train each day.
 
We’re a nation of busy body ****s.

I saw the pics of people sunbathing in the park, and what? They all looked to be well spaced apart and respecting the social distancing advice. If people gather in groups then have the coppers send them home. But people minding their own business sat in a park? Don’t get it.

Agree ... although they are now questioning the 2 metre rule as sneeze droplets can apparently travel 9 metres <yikes>
 
Yeah but some of them had what appeared to be wine which makes it different.

We should all be forced to do Joe Wicks’ PT session from 9-9:30 every day and be otherwise chained to our sofas.

I'm doing the Pat Wicks (Butcher) one ... lots of wine ... although the dangly earings are ****ing uncomfortable ...

Yeah, I'm certainly not advocating none of us ever go out. I just think we should stay local to help stop the spread. I was just pointing out one of the reasons that it can be an issue even when you think you're in the middle of nowhere. If local is rural then fair play, enjoy it. I would be taking walks if I lived in a rural area. Wish I had done something about my dream home years ago because then I would be typing this from a narrowboat in the middle of nowhere!
