    I have a housemate who refuses to apply social distancing. She doesn't work. She spends every day out visiting her friends houses and going on trips to Wicklow from Dublin for walks. I explained everything to her and the consequences of her actions for the population. It's driving me nuts. I'm doing everything I can to minimize contact and am holed up in my room after work everyday and all weekend. May as well concede I'm going to get infected soon and be out of work for a few weeks at least.

    Even this is strictly forbidden under the lockdown ; you cannot enter the house of someone you are not living with.

    The amount of people suddenly obsessed with jogging is hilarious. You'd swear we were the slimmest, fittest, fastest nation in the world the way some suddenly are fixated on it. I wonder why we are generally the opposite?

    Messaging from U.K. news media is still confusing and muddled. ITV news just stated that 28 of the U.K. deaths “had no underlying conditions”

    This doesn’t make any sense - how come some healthy people recover and others die?

    Anyone got a more sensible explanation for this?

    They could be elderly. Elderly and/or immunocompromised. Being elderly is kind of an underlying condition all of its own because the immune system declines with age. It was never said that only people with underlying conditions would succumb. Elderly people of all hues were always highlighted as at risk.

    As has been said before, gyms are closed so the people normally in there are out on the roads running now.

    Seems to be a random element to it too. We just don't know enough yet.

    I think it's to compensate for the usual walk to work, lunchtime walk, standing on public transport, walk to the shop. I myself never jogged before but I do everyday now to keep moving. I need it for my back especially. You just don't move as much as you would in a regular office day otherwise.

    Hopefully there will be fewer than 8 deaths today, at least.

    As long as you have clusters in nursing homes you'll have deaths.

    Very selfish attitude, take it up with landlord? Have Landlords got a duty of care to tenants to ensure their tenants are obeying laws etc ? Ring tenancy board for advice

    No sports matches/training either. Of course more people will be out jogging and walking

    What would their landlord have to do with it? They're not their mommies!

    The standard of jogging is very poor though. Saw some pedestrian jogging. It's not beautiful jogging.

    I repeat, 7.30!

    Maybe a stupid question but where do people get the info on times. I come onto boards every day and search through the thread. Is there a twitter account or webpage?

    I see no reason to think this might be a joke.
    Fixing on a set time would be a reasonable and achievable target.
    Can't figure why so many posters on here are like taut strings twanging with pent-up outrage.
    Perhaps they're psychologically fragile and consumed with virus-related angst. So maybe we can grant a free pass to these tortured souls

    She owns the house. Reporting to the guards will have to do. On the other hand a large amount of single bedroom studios have become available since covid-19 kicked off.

    Usually a journalist will tweet it.
