In the U.K they have currently banned outdoor exercise in some areas. New Zealand on stage 4 lockdown. We're probably going to end up with the same restrictions before long so get used to it.
For what it's worth too, I dont totally agree with the measures taken but i totally understand why we are doing it and for now I will do my bit. If in 6 months time though i'm still being told I cant go outside or drive my car well I suspect i'll feel differently about it.
Just remember though people please while we cannot go walking, fishing, play golf or paddle board there are currently thousands and thousands of people worldwide who cant visit loved ones, aren't going out for treatment or are mourning the loss of loved ones. For me all this complaining about not being able to go for a walk seems a bit petty and selfish with whats going on in the world and most likely whats about to go on in our country in the next month.
4months ago we'd never heard of this virus (except the bat people) and now look at where we are.
Wee bit of an error there-you can exercise locally and paddle board too if you are local. Pedal's example if true, would have involved a non local driving to a beach. It's the travelling and filling car parks that is the issue. I saw every car park overflowing not long back before restrictions were tightened. The population of the town doubled day after day and all or most made their way into the small township later.
