Could do with clarification on cyclists distance and lockdown from gov

I had to go to the agricultural merchants a few days ago. I counted more cyclists than cars!
No problem with it so long as they arn't spreading the virus or encouraging the rest of the population to get out and about.

Problem was with cars as you know they congregate at places like beaches and country parks , drive up the Sussex Downs you will see hundreds of them parked up and out walking , Cyclists as a whole tend to be loners , well they are around here, they have also been specifically told to ride alone , there is aways a risk that the medicine so too speak here could kill more than the illness as in locking people up and all other knock on effects

Crumbs - cyclists are loners? Well the Lincolnshire mob tend to ride 'as a mob' in full Tour de Lincolnshire regalia. Having said that have not seen any gangs of cyclists since last weekend - although last weekend it was definitely full 'Tour' mode.

Cycling is an excellent way for the population to keep fit. It should be encouraged. Lots of roads could have a cycle lane without massive expense. Better spending money on that than hs2.

I wonder how many people ever sit down and have a grown up discussion about avoiding death or even think about it , Diet being a big killer , lack of exercise, stress .....

Seen Joe Wicks? on TV this morning on about his exercise channel on youtube, he had to go into A&E as he fell off his bike and sprained/broke his wrist. Undo pressure on NHS at this time!

One flight a year for holiday per year per person that cuts out a lot of the problem. Any other international travel has to have approval for things like supporting ill family abroad .

Stop press, Everyone will at some point. Thats 0.005% of the population of the US, not actually a high percentage is it?

One person infected on that flight and you’ll soon have two or three hundred more, and so it begins again

Oh ffs have some common sense, 100% of people die, remember that when you don't wake up one morning!
90% of people use stairs everyday.
5% of the population cycle every day.

It's about percentage of users not just numbers.

No that sort of thing is made up by activists and the likes of the soil association.
It's all in your head you know!

I don't spray when it's windy but this always seem to mean I am spraying on a summers evening, usually a Sunday when folk are in the garden. The spray won't go on them but I am very conscious of the noise.

But it's designed to cope with a % of the population which is a number.
Statistics are what's used to work out the requirements

Last paragraph spot on, !!!!!
Already I think 5 Suicides directly from Corona,
Massive mental and sociological effects accruing.
Non Corona medical conditions, now not treated, that will lead to death.?
Perspective is needed.

True but if less flights/ travel = less chance of spreading things about.
