    You mean James O'Whine?

    He has a point from the sound of it, it does sound slightly planned.

    A roundworm is a nematode, you cretin.

    Fair enough: Staying at home and away from others (social distancing) - GOV.UK

    You should only leave the house for very limited purposes:
    • shopping for basic necessities, for example food and medicine, which must be as infrequent as possible.
    • one form of exercise a day, for example a run, walk, or cycle - alone or with members of your household.
    • any medical need, including to donate blood, avoid or escape risk of injury or harm, or to provide care or to help a vulnerable person.
    • travelling for work purposes, but only where you cannot work from home.

    These reasons are exceptions - even when doing these activities, you should be minimising time spent outside of the home and ensuring you are 2 metres apart from anyone outside of your household.

    To make sure people are staying at home and apart from each other, the Government is also stopping all public gatherings of more than two people.
    There are only exceptions to this rule for very limited purposes:
    • where the gathering is of a group of people who live together – this means that a parent can, for example, take their children to the shops if there is no option to leave them at home
    • where the gathering is essential for work purposes - but workers should try to minimise all meetings and other gatherings in the workplace

    In addition, the Government is stopping social events, including weddings, baptisms and other religious ceremonies.
