I'm sure I'd be fine self-isolating, but suspect I won't be allowed to unless I'm actually ill.

Reading comments on FB about how practices are dealing with their appointments and stressing how these can be changed at any time make for sad and depressing reading - they are damned if do and damned if they don't . Don't these people realise people working in the profession are at risk too and are trying to think on their feet daily to minimise disruption *rant over and off to bed* |

I'm self-isolating, this is my second day. I've had a cough for a few days but it got noticeably worse Thursday/Friday and then the medical advice changed. I don't feel that unwell, I think it's just a bog standard chest infection and as long as I don't exert myself too much I feel OK. I'm lucky that I have enough of most foodstuff to last 7 days. There are a couple of things that I've run out of but a kind soul is doing a shopping run for me and is going to leave them outside the house  Lots of accumulated TV shows to watch but I'm going to miss walking. I normally do 4-5 miles a day so I'm expecting to feel very twitchy in a day or so! |

I am adamant that I just have 'flu but NHS guidelines means that I have to self-isolate because I had a temperature. So that's me stuck indoors for a week and the rest of the family for a fortnight. A lack of sleep and pounding headache meant that I couldn't even work from home today. |

Good luck and I hope you feel better soon. Not sure if it will be easier for you now that nearly everyone is already in lockdown or if that makes it harder? |

If just read from a Carers website that the one hour exercise restriction has been lifted. I thought it was one form of exercise per day and it did not have a time limit. As my long runs have just been passing the hour, have I really been breaking the rules recently?

I understood that the one hour limit was just an off the cuff remark by Gove when pressed by a journalist, it has never been in the legislation.

Don't think the 1 hour thing was ever official.(may be wrong) It was something Michael Gove came out with in an interview amongst other waffle.

The one-hour thing preceded Gove's unauthorised number-burping, but was never official in England. I understood the original waffle to be that your single daily dose of outdoor exercise should be in line with what you were accustomed to doing, and had no qualms about doing 60-90 minutes of running since runs of that length were what I normally did on weekdays.
