Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[Brennan]

Indeed. Every single person on my Strava feed has an indoor trainer as well, so they can exercise indoors quite easily. British Cycling are quite clear that people should stay local and only do what's necessary. Nothing applies to them.

Cyclists are massive nobheads to be fair...

I'm probably never more that 5-10 km from my house. I live in the countryside, not a city. I did a 2 hour ride on Sunday (40km) didn't see 1 other person..

Now if i went for a run or walk i'd see a lot more!

Selfish arse.

so is every runner and walker then.

The ones who go against the guidelines, yes.

Slightly different seeing as there were over 4000 serious cycling accidents last year.

“But I’m in the countryside”

And yet you’re still taking an unnecessary, selfish risk because you can be sure that some of those serious accidents occurred in the countryside too.

“Won’t happen to me”

Says every selfish nob head, some of whom it will happen to, and will take valuable ambulance services away from more important things as a result.

what guidlines are they then?

 

[Brennan]

According to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (ROSPA), you are far more likely to be injured playing sports like football and cricket than hill walking or rock climbing. ROSPA reports 1,000 accidents per 100m hours for walking and 4,000 for rock climbing. Cycling scores 7,000 and horse riding 10,000.

7 times as likely to have an accident cycling versus walking.

Nobheads.

How dangerous are climbing and hill walking?

I badly sprained my ankle running last year and the year before got a stress fracture from it. Statistically you are more likely to injure yourself doing DIY in the house. Are all those people selfish Bastards when no doubt they will be doing it in this lockdown?

I'll take my advice off the government and not the internet mob who seemed determined to have everyone's liberties eroded during this.

and may i add... my mode of transport to and from work is my bike. And since i'm still in work...

Our lock down extended till 27th of April.Oh well.

How bad is it in Greece mate, as it’s getting little or no coverage here ?

Do you think there’ll be a tourist season this year of any kind ?

The Government have been perfectly clear, do some research. The public must minimise any exercise to that which is absolutely necessary.

Or are you implying it is a necessity for you to swan about the countryside in lycra for hours on end ?

Irrelevant.

If you have no other mode of transport you are allowed to cycle.

Going for leisurely rides through the countryside for no specific reason is not the same.

More reports again today of a complete lack of exit strategy from the government with speculation of potential routes but no clear plan . I find that Almost as worrying at anything else

Who knows?

I mean as pneumonia is a cause of death generally in the elderly then there is always a possibility but then it's just guesswork.

May different types of pneumonia and my understanding is that COVID on xrays and scans looks different especially compared to the usual bacterial pneumonia.

Again... pure porkies. The Government haven't put any stipulations on exercise apart from 'once a day'
