My theory is people think the 3 weeks is up and nothing has been announced so they can go out and meet up etc, I've seen people out on walks with people they dont live with and pics on Instagram of them at other peoples houses, stuff like that....
SorryThis just adds to my anxiety! As a health anxiety sufferer.
. I didn't mean my post to cause anyone extra anxiety.
Yes, I just got home from work and had get food on the way home . Roads really busy but also lots of large groups walking together. The city centre was quiet but the local streets were the busiest.
The daily figures are less on BBC News so the newspapers obviously reported it incorrectly earlier.
You can drive to anywhere local and take your exercise. Don't worry, the guide lines are there for people who think they can drive a million miles to the beach and use the excuse of they came for a walk in the fresh air.Are we allowed to drive to places and walk now?! Because I've seen no end of folk drive up to the park at the back of me. Seems that a lot of people have decided to make up their own rules this week.Although I don't necessarily agree with everything we're being told through the media, I've completely stuck to the guidelines and only been out once a week to shop for food or walked near where I live for under an hour.
Ahh sorry, didn't mean to make you feel anxious.
Yeah the point was to make sure that once the initial peak was over and dealt with, flu season has ended, it releases a lot more beds and staff/facilities so everyone gets the treatment they need without the need of having to prioritise, dependant on conditions.
Although lockdown will lift, I think social distancing may remain for a while.
They may introduce new measures or just tell those that are vulnerable like your husband that he must stay indoors.
At the moment it's trying to piece a jigsaw puzzle together with half the pieces missing, noone knows.
There's going to come a time soon where the economy will ultimately have to be put first.
We shut down when we had 40 confirmed cases maybe 10th march so It's been a month + 5 days for us already.
The UK delayed and did it on the 23rd with 5309 cases. (data from worldometers).
I don't think this is true. You are not meant to drive somewhere to exercise only local walking or cycling.You can drive to anywhere local and take your exercise.

I also think a lot of people think the whole thing was up at the end of the 3 weeks. I havent been keeping up with the press conferences or newspapers, i read on here daily and get the information from you guys, so i havent seen anything official to say either way if this is ongoing or not. An awful lot of people wont bother to check online and will just assume.
My husband has been working throughout the 'lockdown' and he said to me yesterday evening that the traffic getting home for him was just the same as it was before 'lockdown'.
They need to be more transparent with people, its all well and good following the science and them not having enough data but surely they would've known that they needed X weeks of data when they started the lockdown?
I know it's been said they are easing people in with 3 weeks and then extending to benefit mental health but i think that will backfire on them.
I would rather they said, lockdown will continue until late June/July/August/whenever, this will then be reviewed. Should the science deem it is safe for lockdown to end sooner than this we will of course inform you and begin the transition back to normality.

Yes you are. As long as it's local to your dwelling, you can drive to it. They made this decision after the police were found to be over zealous, filming people in the countryside taking their dogs for a walk... Only them there!? And city streets were over run with people having to go too near each other.
Yea , you are meant to have your form of exercise walking distance from when you liveI don't think this is true. You are not meant to drive somewhere to exercise only local walking or cycling.

They advise not to travel to walks and that because it’s classed as unnecessary travel and if you were to have a road crash , it’s another unnecessary burden on the nhs
No your not allowed to drive for exercise where I live only 2km from homeI don't think this is true. You are not meant to drive somewhere to exercise only local walking or cycling.

I really didnt think you could?
I'm on a dating app, and various guys I've spoken to in recent days ask me to meet them in the park for a walk. What is wrong with these people?! Don't they read the news at all?! 
Just found out my friend has been going for her bi-weekly facial, nails and eyelashes at the home of the salon owner she goes to. FFS! Nobody is going to see you in lock down !!
Maybe it's different for every region my husband be's stopped driving to work ,he has to carry a letter from his employer to prove it's essential travel ..
Matt Hancock answered this on Newsnight a couple of weeks ago. He said you can drive 5 - 10 mins to take exercise. The wording has not been updated on the government site though.I don't think this is true. You are not meant to drive somewhere to exercise only local walking or cycling.

The last 2 shops in store that I did at Tesco they still didn’t have pasta, flour, rice or eggs.
I’ve a Morrison’s delivery on Friday and have ordered rice and eggs so we shall see if they arrive.
I'd be keeping more than 2mtrs from them then...I'm on a dating app, and various guys I've spoken to in recent days ask me to meet them in the park for a walk. What is wrong with these people?! Don't they read the news at all?!
