In the case of the lockdown, I know for a fact that Public Health England and the NHS were behind the details of what you can and cant do.
I know this because it came up in a telephone call I had with them about me returning to the NHS yesterday morning.

My point was probably a broader one, which is the mistrust that Johnson has created by unclear messaging, moving goalposts and a slowness to repsond - often despite the advice he's getting. He has consistently puts his own twist on the advice he has received to suit his agenda. Many people have followed government advice for the last two weeks, only to find it change within a day or two. There is a complete lack of clarity and detail in last night's announcement, borne out by Gove's pathetic appearance on R4 this morning.
In that context, I would question anyone's claim a) that they know what is or is not included in "one form of exercise a day such as a run, walk or cycle" and b) that this is the detailed and specific advice of "public health officials with years of experience including dealing with pandemics".

Do you honestly believe the public heath officials are the ones "making this call"?
