'If you don't want us to have to take the step to ban exercise of all forms outside of your own home, then you've got to follow the rules.'
Following reports of people gathering in parks, having barbecues etc.
It's the type of language you'd expect an adult to use towards a naughty child. And quite frankly the f*cking idiots deserve to be spoken to like that.
TF is wrong with people. |  |

Bermuda shorts? I don't think you realise how tough a time of it naturists are having at the moment. |
Better than the male naturists who go through hard times and are inevitably removed from the campsite. Trust me. |  |

"Like other oldies, I no longer absorb it well from sunlight."
So sunbathing isn't the answer then?
I don't need to read up about vitamin D deficiency in the UK population. I'm not denying it. I'm saying the answer isn't necessarily laying in the park in your Bermuda shorts. Surely going for a walk for the same length of time you would have been sunbathing would get the same effect?
To argue that people should be allowed to sunbathe in the park during a pandemic is ludicrous IMHO. |
Sunbathing is a very good part of the answer for younger people; the ability to absorb vit D through the skin simply decreases gradually with age.
People can go for a walk if they are well & able-bodied enough to, obviously (not everyone is).
I consider your last para to be ludicrous when I've always said that social distancing should be maintained, but there you go. |  |

I just don't see why walking for an hour is better than walking 10 minutes to the park, sitting down for half an hour then walking home. The latter example is easier to social distance as they aren't moving! |  |

Because if you walk for an hour you are getting an hour's worth of exercise out of your hour out of the house?
Especially if you are dodging around all the time trying to keep two metres away from everyone else. |  |

The benefits to mental health of relaxing in the sun for half an hour may outstrip physical health benefits of walking for many - think people should be trusted to get on with tings with only the mot egregious cases being highlighted - i.e. BBQ or Picnic, or a gathering. | |

If young people are able-bodied, why can they not just go for a walk rather than sunbathe in the park? I suspect those caught sunbathing and getting Brockwell Park shut were also able-bodied enough to go for a walk instead.
If people aren't able-bodied enough to go for a walk, I'd doubt they'd be going to the park in any case, to have a sunbathe. Surely if they're in a wheelchair and have a carer, for example, they can still be wheeled around getting the sun and not need to sunbathe in one place?
You seem to be avoiding my point that you can catch the sun while moving. You haven't given me a solid reason why people need to stop and sunbathe, like that's the only way to up ones low vit D levels. |  |

It's possible that some normally lazy gits would at least be tempted to do a bit of exercise tho, if they could do 10 mins, have a sit down, then walk 10 mins back home. Would be infinitely preferable to their not moving their fat arses from their playstations all day.
Right now we should be doing *everything* poss to get people to boost their health & immune systems - this would also be a massive boost to the NHS, not just for now, but for the forseeable future.
I'm absolutely gobsmacked that there's been literally zero message from the Govt., CMO or CSO saying - exercise as much as you can, eat plenty of fresh fruit, veg, eggs & fish, these things will improve your chances of fighting & beating Covid_19 if you do get it, and will also help the NHS. The absence of any such message is something I find bizarre & utterly irresponsible. | |

Well you're getting more exercise for one.
And if everyone did what you suggest there would be loads of people sitting in the park. That's what happened at Brockwell it seems and is why the police closed it down. Too much of it leads to it being groups. If people keep moving they aren't settling in groups.
I'm guessing anyway.
Also people weren't just staying for half an hour. They were brining picnics, activities to do. It was a fun day in the park rather than your allotted bit of daily exercise. | |

3000 people went to a 125 acre park over a 14 hour period - shutting it was stupid.
But people treating it as a fun day at the park should be dispersed by the police.
Whilst the walking gives more exercise, what about the mental health argument? Some people may want to get out of the house to just relax for a short period - that should be allowed.
I’ve got a mate, him and his missus are working 7 days a week in stressful jobs in a 300ft2 flat in Putney - they have to get out and just chill out for a bit every now and again | |

It’s not but the problem is that allowing that then opens the floodgates for everyone to hang out at parks/beaches and so forth
Similar with the guidance around driving for exercise, which now look to be leaning towards this being a no-go (and some forces applying as such)
Using myself as an example, with 2 dogs and a 2 year old getting out for a run around in some green space most days is a must. However the nearest option for me is Rushmere Common which is either a 10/20 minute walk (depending on whether the boy is in tow) down narrow pavements or a 2 min drive and then straight into open space. Clearly the latter is more practical and better from a social distancing perspective however stating anyone can drive for exercise would mean people travelling out miles as they were in the early stages of the lockdown
There’s probably a middle ground with some fixed rules (eg. certain radius and no alternative option closer) but then any in reality any fixed rule will not cater for all scenarios |  |

I wouldn't disagree with anything you've said there. I was just saying sunbathing was a bit OTT. I was more thinking of people who've treated it like a day out - sunbathing on picnic blankets, a bite to eat and a bottle of prosecco, ball games etc. rather than stressed people having a break and a sit down for a bit.
As always it just needs a bit of common sense - from both the public and the police. | |

You are, of course, right. As am I...
Perhaps the Tories are a little shy of coming forward with a 'get out in the parks' message as, during a previous administration, they did so much to remove green space from our cities:
