"I assume he thinks it’s BS because there is no way someone driving away to a forest to take a walk is a higher risk of spread than someone walking within 1km from their home. So banning walks in nature can’t have much effect in itself."
Californian here. The problem with driving to a forest to take a walk is that everyone is doing it, and thus the forests get pretty crowded, so they've clamped down on that too.

I have something like a 100 square miles of public lands right next to my house, and see another person there perhaps once a week. Such restrictions might make perfect sense near you, but not near the person you are responding to.
