Yea, that's what you want. The whole of the UK leaving their homes at exactly the same times.
SARS CoV-2 coronavirus / Covid-19 (No tin foil hat silliness please)

Born up to 1964... the younger Boomers are still in their 50s man.
Also later retirement ages etc.
Yep, this is exactly my friend's stance on it. Even though there are 100s of them all working within close proximity to each other.
That would mean everyone out at the same time.
Does everyone in the country have a dog / kids...?
Lockdown for everyone else.
Thank god you're not making any decisions.
Why is he so scared of that word ?
Sorry to ask the important questions here but I wonder if takeaways are still allowed to be open
what the others said. Crazy idea.
Edit: ok so if you don’t have a kid or a dog you can’t take a walk. Also a crazy idea.
Likewise for yourself after much of the utter garbage you've posted in here since this all kicked off.
Read up
Boris slightly bungled what he was meaning, as he said "one form" of exercise.
Obviously you can do one form of exercise numerous times a day.
But he obviously meant one "session" a day. But like you say, a session can last forever.
I also was debating with people about why 1 long run would be any safer than 2 shorter runs?
However, i'll keep in with the 1 run a day routine. We all have to do our bit, while totally not melting down
They're doing what gangs have always done, which is social services to stay in the public's good books.
Why are you suggesting that commenting on measures introduced by the government is "politicising" the pandemic?
I never claimed to be an expert. Would retracting my initial statement of "weeks" and saying that these measures are one week too late be any better for you? I suspect not and yet it's me that's apparently being political...
It's almost as if, again, he was strongly suggesting what we should and shouldn't do. None of this is going to be enforced. If I go out tomorrow I'll still see people in groups, I'll still see people go out numerous times a day and I'll still see people meeting family and friends
lucky you.No idea! I'd be more impressed if he did it this way like I mentioned earlier:Why is he so scared of that word ?
I don't think people realise just how many are in this boat.
I bet you can be sued for not paying the mortgage on a house you're not in!
There's 10,000,000 kids in the UK and I have no idea how many dogs. Let's say their parents go with them and 1.5 kids per family and you have approx 25,000,000 people.
67 million people being allowed out all at once from 12-1 for exercise hours.
It's an insane idea.
Nah. Children need to get out for an hour, dogs need a walk / shit.
The rest of country should be in proper lockdown.
So in that case what is your opinion on the current measures - which are even more lax?
It's a tougher measure, and that's needed at this point.
The state of people on here, just pull together for feck sake, sad as feck armchair warriors on here who think a roll of bog paper will help them, tragic how insufferable think they know so much. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are the first in the lines for Tesco. Anyone playing party politics should really just piss off.
Yeah, the language was far too friendly. Needs to just say 'Lockdown, any groups of greater than 2 seen in public will be dispersed, so dont be a cnut'.
The twats that have been ruining this for everyone need it spelled out for them, they dont read between lines. Stay the feck inside.
Is special
Good point. That makes a lot of sense.
Pochettino would have got as far as the front door then tripped up and dropped everything.
The problem with the idea is making them all go out at the same time as you would be making it worse. It's the same with food shopping - maybe different times for individuals to go shopping / exercise would work better. Each person could be given an hour slot throughout the day / every other day.

I think people assume a building site is like just building a house where there might be four or 5 blokes on the job which may be true. But I'm talking about huge contract jobs for the big firms in the country where the sites are massive. I've worked on a few myself years ago, so I know how mad it must be right now. They'll 100% all go into work until it's made illegal or the contractors shut them down, which they won't as they'd lose too much money.
I didn't think it was a set hour, just have some but one lot?
People talking about going for multiple walks or long walks as some clever loophole, but really, there's very few places left to actually walk to as all the parks and shops are closed, so how many people will really be doing that?
The main win for now would be dispersing larger groups of people and stopping people hanging around in public places rather than stopping a few people doing too many laps around the block, as those things are actually enforceable

What about exercise that you mentioned?
Fact is, people will moan about Boris Johnson, and I feel this should have been put in place a couple of weeks back however, its actually quite tough to think of a viable idea that will suit all parties.
I'm a mechanic and I'm working tomorrow.
The problem is I need parts to fit, that means people in offices to call, delivery drivers to deliver said parts, if you close the parts stores then mechanics can't fix cars.
I said two designated hours in my original post, so they wouldn't all be out at the same time. Make it 3, whatever.
Point is - it needs to be tougher.
Children below 16 with an adult and / or dog walkers are the only people who should be out for designated times - everyone else should be in lockdown.
Listen mate, if I don't get there tomorrow, those 2 pairs of Donnay joggers for £13 are going to be sold out, gone I tell ya!'Mike Ashley has declared Sports Direct an ‘essential service’ so that he can keep his stores open.'
We have been told to come in as normal as they are BAU.
I said exercise for CHILDREN and walking of dogs. And I stand by it.
In fact, I think there's a good chance that it'll be the next 'idea' that gets implemented.
I'll fight you for the last Lonsdale wellies.
