*sigh* Roads packed again in Harrogate today. Mainly packed cars furious that a cyclist taking exercise is holding them up from their drive to take exercise.

Why not just STAY THE **** AT HOME like we have been told and stop the spread of this shitty disease!

Why not read the advice given out by many government agencies, which includes being able to leave the house?

being able to leave the house?

No one has ever said you can’t leave your house.

Stay at home.
Shop infrequently.
Exercise locally.

Define "infrequently"? Before lockdown I used to shop almost daily. So if I shop 3 times a week is that infrequent?

Define "locally"? Is 10 mile away from home local? Is 5 miles local? What if you travel 5 miles in a car to go somewhere that's basically empty, surely that's better that doing a circuit around your house where you encounter lots of people?

Stay at home.

Or unless, if you can't; then go out. Either shopping, working or exercising. these are all fine.

Shop infrequently.

But the supermarkets may limit what you can buy, therefore increasing the times you may have to shop. This is fine

Exercise locally.

Unless you can't, in which case it's fine not to exercise locally.

Slightly tongue in cheek, and TBH I don't think any stripe of Govt would have made any other announcement. I'm willing to bet money Kim Jong Un is making prank calls offering advice to world leaders on how to run a totalitarian state as we seem to be pretty rubbish at it.

I suspect theres a bit more to that story that the upstanding citizens have decided to cut out.

There is and it's not what you think. Try this for size for all the types of wrong it is at an institutional level.

Here's a link to a video of dogs chasing their own tails, far more productive than going down the 'what is local/frequent/necessary etc' argument again.
