Even if it has to be revised later, it will give us hope to cling to. From a psychological perspective, it will also keep us motivated and engaged with the rules. We're keeping our side of the bargain. It's important that ministers keep theirs. I've been horrified to hear of councils closing parks on the grounds that people are not adhering to social-distancing rules. This is a reason to increase park-keeper patrols, not to punish everyone because of a minority who flout the rules. Such bans affect the poor disproportionately because they are more likely to live in smaller properties without a garden. It's woefully short-sighted from a mental health perspective. People need to get out and enjoy a change of scenery. Young children need to run around. Access to parks isn't a luxury that can be withheld if someone is naughty. It is an essential form of recreation that will help us all get through this crisis in one piece. Police on horseback recommend to people sitting in St Jame's Park, London, that they should go home and follow government guidelines on social distancing Dr Max, however, says bans on parks affect poorer people disproportionately, as they are less likely to have outdoor space, such as a garden, to enjoy the outdoors in Dr Max prescribes...

But the good news is that there are at least two things we can do to maximise our chances of survival should the worst happen. A recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine found that 25 per cent of the people who have to go to ICU are smokers. And several studies have shown that people who are overweight are at increased risk of complications. An ICU is shown on television where a patient is being treated by doctors and nurses for the coronavirus. The patient can be seen hooked up to a ventilator. People who smoke or are overweight can be impacted more by the virus A leading French epidemiologist, Professor Jean-François Delfraissy raised this particular concern this week, warning that America — where almost a third of citizens are classed as obese —faces a major problem. Yes, there are factors, such as age, that we can't do anything about — but the lockdown is an opportunity for smokers to think about quitting and the overweight to take steps about cutting their calories.
The document says Rebekah believes she 'has deliberately been made a scapegoat (sic) by the Defendant (Coleen) for past 'leaked' stories. ' Suspicions: The insider went on to add that Coleen reckons Rebekah is putting on a front that she's 'ballsy' but is secretly 'worried' about her defence (pictured in 2018) It points to previous stories about Coleen and Wayne with some 'in particular about their marriage, which have in fact come from the Defendant's friends, at times even with the Defendant's approval. ' The paper states that Sun journalist Dan Wootton had said on talkRADIO on October 19 last year that Coleen had 'manipulated the media to tell stories about her own life'. Wootton added that he had 'written many, many stories' about her marriage and 'lots of other things around the Rooneys' that had come directly from friends of Coleen including some told 'with her (Coleen's) approval', says the document. He went on to say on talkRADIO that nothing had ever come from 'any of the Vardys', it adds.
