Coronavirus: Stay or go

Whilst I fully concur with the above, certain cultures do have a propensity for less than nice and proven dietary and quasi-medicinal practices. There has been a long running (couple of years) global petition about asking the Chinese to close down the infamous Wuhan markets. The fact that they have now closed it is one of the small victories to come out of this dreadful situation. The world’s Rhino and Tiger population just got a tiny degree safer.
Not blaming the Chinese, all cultures have less than scientifically based beliefs, some of the deeply religious just as much as China. But the bite in the @rse this time has been very deep.

"Just holiday locally ! you know it makes sense."
when this is over/under control, Ray, the last thing most will want is more isolation...
the need to 'get away from it all' (wherever 'away' is and provided theres no more 'all') will be immense...
no offense Cornwall and Wales but that wont cut it

Yeah, I totally agree, and I can’t even crochet! I did once spot the sea at Weston. Or at least I think I did. It looked wet anyway.
Has the Hinckley traffic calmed down yet BB?

There seems to be a difference between what the Government actually wants to happen and what the Emergency Powers actually permit.
Ignoring the nonsense of Police issuing a summons for 'shopping for non-essential items', independent retailers being told by Police that tey cannot sell Easter Eggs, and another telling people that exercise was limited to 1 hour per day, it now transpires that Police have no powers to ban travel to places such as the Lake District.
Urgent guidance is in the course of development, and clarification may emerge later today. It would be a tragedy if the apparent signs of slow down in infection arising from respect for the Social Distancing Rules is lost because everyone uses the coming weekend as a national holiday.
Whatever the revised guidance, we'll be sticking to our routine of essential shopping as infrequently as possible and a daily walk, perhaps split into 2 sessions to get the 10,000 steps in, including dodging back and forth between narrow footpaths to keep well over 2 metres from 'Danger Joggers' open mouthed exhalations and the cyclists equivalent, since they still insist on riding on the pavement, despite the virtually non-existent traffic!

I agree that clarification is needed, when the "regulations" were first implemented ,it is still blanket country wide, which was all that could be done at the time, but as has been highlighted, the less than sensible approach, by some police forces,
In areas of high populations, it is needed to try to stop the spread ,on the other hand in rural and semi rural areas ,social distancing is the norm ,as where we are when out ,at times, it is not unusual to not see anybody else ,or they are just a wave away , but to far to even shout a greeting,
The same with the blanket "stay at home" it really need some one to to realise you cannot do that when the UK population has such a high elderly age group ,that have been told to stay indoors ,but still need essentials ,that as in our case and numerous of our neighbours has fallen on our children to get and deliver via a knock on the door and a short conversation from the end of the path to the house,

For me personally I consider the best course of action is to follow the spirit of the guidance to maintain social distancing along with applied common sense.

A little bit of commonsense go's a long way. Although we get the you gov email every day my commonsense says:
