Day one of ISO and we’re bickering about dog leads and fucking dry cleaning. Wind it in people.
It's just as important to call out if people are incorrectly negging others because they think they are flouting the guidelines because they don't have a similar set up/experience/situation as them.
And I don't mean to single out @atz here (truly). There was a misconception, it was called out (sarcastically, by me - probably not helpful) and offense was taken to being called out/corrected (or offense to how that call out was made).
More broadly, I am seeing people on social media lambasting those who have no choice but to open their shops or travel to work saying "why can' they just follow the rules like everyone else", and by that there is often an undertone of unrecognised privilege. I have already seen this morning (I need to delete Facebook), a cushy IT home worker sharing pictures of packed tube carriages calling all the travellers "wankers". No consideration given to who those people are, what they do or how they might be feeling having to get on that packed tube with every other fucker. They might be doctors or nurses, they could be labourers working in a hospital, they might be cleaners.

I completely agree with this. Completely. You’re right... but look at your second paragraph as an example of how much energy we’re exchanging in the service of logic! It really is a mine field isn’t it.
I’m still in two minds as to whether I should quietly ride to my solo work today and quietly return to isolation later. I can’t tell whether I’m just cautiously doing my bit to stay out of trouble or am going to be the victim of a slew of shaming... so I totally see where you’re coming from.
And yes, of course you should delete Facebook. For your own sanity, do it yesterday!

Just as important as what?

Definitely. Already fed up of wiseacre cyclists telling everyone they shouldn't ride outside because strain on the NHS etc.
The government guidance is very clear and guess what - it's put together by people who know better than you! If you want to take a stronger stance and never leave the house then bully for you but stop bending my ear about it.

Day one of ISO and we’re bickering about dog leads and fucking dry cleaning. Wind it in people. The document is a grand total of two pages long.
What will now be immediately reduced are those big groups on Broadway and Columbia rd markets and non essential shops. The guidelines regarding everything else is still essentially in the eye of the beholder.
If you decide your work “can’t be done from home” you can still elect to travel.
Exercise is once a day and there really aren’t any other restrictions as long as you’re with people from your own residence or you are alone.
Of course you can walk the dog or dogs of someone who needs that help.
