The other part of the risk equation being how likely you are to come across / spend time with someone who is infectious. That has reduced considerably, with the estimated number of daily infections having reduced from around 100k at the peak to now 4k, and still going down. So that may have...

BJ ditching 2m rule in Tuesday’s briefing apparently.

Shapps said review of 2m rule to be published soon- before 4 July. I would expect it to be ditched in the next few days, or the ditching announced with some warning. He acknowledged that pubs, restaurants etc. Opening 4 July needed notice of the measures which will be in place when they open.

So Scotland now more relaxed than England re meeting people outside- they can meet people from another household outside, up to 8 people in total, from tomorrow. As opposed to the England restriction of a household being able to meet 1 person from outside the household...

I try to check the online Government guidance because it seems to change regularly. The advice on meeting people now just says meet 'outdoors'. It no longer spells out that this needs to be in a public place. Seems to me that you could therefore meet in a front / back garden, you just can't go...

I think it's so they can get to the supermarkets which are reserving early hours / 8am-9am for the OAPs. :wave:

The gym is tough for many people as it is a fundamental part of their life, and one of the main things which maintains their physical and mental health. I would like to go, but is does seem contrary to the general flavour of the Government guidance. Definitely feels more likely to spread in a...

To be fair the above advice, for those not at high risk, is pretty vague- ‘as much as is pragmatic’ will be interpreted differently by everyone. Personally I am staying at home and working from home, other than walks / runs and food shopping when necessary. Would like to go to the gym, but...
