If Open Spaces are forced to close...

... how will people get any exercise?
... how will dog-owners get to walk their pooches?
... how will this improve things generally?

Going to go mad if the other half can't get her early-morning 40-min traipse to, around and back from, a nearby field with the dog every day. She meets no-one, or can give any she encounters a wide berth.

I can sit on the sofa with phone or laptop, so long as I get to stand in the front or back garden now and then.

The problem is people, people ignoring advice to spread out - not that parks or open areas are not closed or barred.

FFS, people need to get out, or they'll go stir-crazy - and they can keep away from others, so long as all know the rules.

Perhaps a higher, more visible, police presence would help - but not to threaten fines or bar entry to parks and open spaces, but just to make people "think" and act accordingly.
