I wouldn’t know for sure. I’m a key worker so I’ve been at work. Brighton beach was predictably one of the places featured in the news for people being stupid though. But Brighton beach always features in the news.
Is it even warm enough to go to the beach anywhere in UK?
That depends on how much of a northerner you are.
It’s a solid 11 degrees centigrade! So yes totally particularly if your being told not to do it by the government!
Same (retained firefighter) but I’m stuck inside due to having symptoms and my day job I do from home normally anyways, I get freedom back in 8 days time if these symptoms jog on (although they’re getting worse daily at the moment…)
I’m totally free as it stands. It’s over rated. Paid time off sounds pretty good to me.
I refer you to this video:
Plus starting to feel pretty bad, but can’t complain, it’s probably just a cold (I’m in the garage gym training as I type so not on death’s door yet!)

Yeah, I mean I do have 2 kids going through terrible twos as we speak.
And both me and the missus are key workers so pretty much guaranteed to catch it before this is all over.
Can I rethink my answer please?

Day C+12
In a funk today and have been all day. Slept weirdly, and then woke up too soon. So not going to do shit today. Took the kid for a quick bike ride down to the town center, all pretty quiet in there. Will probably double up on some pushups and pullups tomorrow, assuming I don’t wake up with C19.
Hope you’re all hanging in there.

Day C+13
Two full weeks of being locked up now in the books. I mean, we are not in one of those total lockdowns where you need papers to go out of your house, but still…can count the number of times I have been out of the house on two hands in that period. Weird as hell. Went to the store today to get some essentials. Or at least, essential if you have to have tacos today, and I do have to have tacos today. Things are still in good shape at the stores here, but that doesn’t mean I like going there. Paranoia starting to really settle in. I was probably a minor germaphobe to begin with.
Weight still around 78.5 - eating less, but also moving less.
Doubled up the pushing/pulling as promised, but felt the horizontal pushing sapped more than expected, so the pulls were a bit below expectations. Still, this was done alternating back and forth, so pretty tough to get through.

I think I need to mix in a bit more core work. But I hate it, so I dunno.

It’s not like you don’t have the time. 
Yeah, it is not time that is lacking

Nice work out Cyrrex, that’s a lot of push ups and pull ups. Well done.
Are you supersetting it?
I define supersetting as doing the second exercise immediately after…so no. More like alternating. I take as much rest as needed.

Oh shit that’s pretty bad in times like these (the germaphobe). Hang in there!
Fairly minor germaphobe compared to some, but enough that it means staying away from strangers comes second nature to me. Anyway…
Day C+14
Took the boy for a bike ride down to the town again today, just to get him out for at least a short bit. Kinda more people out than expected, but mostly keeping a distance. Surprised to see some of the clothing stores open. Those places are mostly abandoned and unessential on a normal day, so not sure what the point of that is, other than to needlessly draw bored people inside. Whatever, as long as they stay the hell away from me.
Gave Bob a gentle bit of loving today. Tried to also do a bit of core stuff, e.g…
A couple of planks (normal and in pushup position)
A bunch of Ab Wheel rolls, mostly standing
A few silly V-Ups just to contract things a little
Some clumsy knee/leg raises from the pull-up bar
I need to probably do some more stuff to contract the ab muscles a little better. I much prefer the stabilizing/isometric moves.

Were there any zombies out there ?
Well, the only way to be sure is to get close to one, and I didn’t do that. Oh, but there was a lady with male pattern baldness, does that count?
Maybe she didnt have baldness but was attached by a zombie and it tried to eat her brains
