It seems to me this is merely the wording Boris used. But what did he actually mean? If interpreted literally, it means simply that all exercise done outside of the home in a single day must be of the same form, be it walking, running, cycling, swimming, playing ball games, dancing in the street or whatever. But I don't suppose this is what was actually meant. I seem to have heard a few different stories about the restriction on exercise:
but these stories don't seem to say anything about number of different forms of exercise.
It may be the case that one of these (most likely the first) is what he actually meant. Or maybe something else entirely. Meanwhile, I'm putting it in quotes as we're giving it as what he said, which may not match with the intended meaning. 鈥 Smjg ( talk) 10:51, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
The one thing i can't seem to find on here relating to the Covid-19 is a dated list of Front line workers who have died from the Virus Any chance of this happening. I'm using the information on here to write up memoirs for my Ancestry work and this would help tremendously. There are lists of soldiers who died in the wars - so surely this would count the same as giving their lives to fight the enemy. 86.20.103.37 ( talk) 09:09, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
Although the daily death figures are of course of great importance and do need to be recorded here, it seems extremely inefficient to list the information repeatedly on a day by day basis. It would be not only better use of screen space but also aid understanding to present the information in the form of a graph, for example sourced from Wordometers (the existing graphs don't provide a good whole-period overview). I could make changes if editors agree. MichaelMaggs ( talk) 20:29, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
I'm wondering whether to split this article into separate timelines for the UK, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Currently it stands at just over 300K, but I could imagine that almost doubling by the end of the year, and it's getting quite cumbersome to edit. Most of the information on here relates to the separate nations so it would be quite easy to do, if a little time consuming. We could keep limited information on here relating to each country (eg, first case confirmed, etc). Any thoughts on this would be very welcome. This is Paul ( talk) 16:36, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
Posting a link to the following BBC article for future reference, as some of the information can be used here:
This is over 300K again so I'm proposing another split, this time along the lines of the India timeline, so we could have something like Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom (January鈥揓une 2020) and Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom (July鈥揇ecember 2020). That should make the first one about 230K and the second around 100K, but as we have just over three months of the year left, by the end of December they should be fairly equal in size. I imagine going forward into 2021 we'd create new timeline articles anyway. Let me know what you think. Cheers, This is Paul ( talk) 13:52, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
I was wondering whether it may be better to limit the scope of the cases & deaths charts to the closed period this particular article covers - i.e. to the end of June only? I have been updating these to current dates; here, as well as on the split article. I have absolutely no problem continuing to do this, but I was wondering whether it may be more appropriate to only show the period covered by this article? Comparisons between 1st & 2nd waves could still be made on the July-December 2020 article (unless there is additional consensus it should also reflect that specific period too?) I personally think the July-December 2020 article should cover everything, so the current data can be compared with the historical, but I am willing to bow to consensus. One advantage of limiting the period in this article is that slightly more detail would be available. Any thoughts? -- Crep1711 ( talk) 11:39, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
