Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

If someone thinks a gym is unsafe then don't go in it. It's an undeniable fact that if more people went to gyms there would be less pressure on the nhs all year round.

And its an undeniable fact that if they were reopened now there would more pressure on the NHS and people would die.

Fixed for you.

Probably. But a gym is a gym. Open one, open all. And everyone I have seen are like the one you mention.

Mate of mine is turning pro ( hopefully in October ) Crusierweight.
He has literally been given the key to his gym by the owner and trains on his own with no one else using it.
Not a chance a boxing gym could operate safely, even with no sparring, and I’d imagine your average gym is the same.

Could say the same about pubs, social clubs etc

Quite possibly. Its good to see you admit that opening gyms is a danger though.

Its as dangerous as much as anywhere is. Even less so if you believe this track n trace thing as everyone's details are recorded electronically when they visit them, something that defo wont be happening in most pubs.

Fancy a bum (as a solution to the gym for keeping fit)?

I'm a member of Puregym.

I've enjoyed doing Hitt sessions and exercise bike in the house with plenty of long walks.

Will be able to hit the gym on holiday at the back end of July.

No. They are more dangerous, hence why they are not opening.

That's what I disagree with. A pub full of loads of drunks is gonna have as much contact, breath exchange etc etc

I agree. I very much hope that wont happen though.

FWIW, you wont find me anywhere near a pub or restaurant any time soon.

Will have to wait to see the details but I don't much like the sound of having to register and check in to go to the pub. What happens? How does it work?

Say the stedded-up chimp on the door takes your details. What does he do with them? Where does that list go at the end of the night? Chimp decides actually, I don't like you because or your colour, gender, sexual orientation or because you manage to annoy them somehow. Let's face it, it ain't difficult to annoy doormen, is it? Or maybe he thinks you're on your own, very drunk and therefore vulnerable and decides to let his mates know they can break into your house, 'cos you're in the pub. Or perhaps steal your identity, Maybe beat you up on your way home or rape you. I hope some serious thought into how something like this will work has been done, but judging by previous form, I doubt it. Guess we'll see.

The thing is, people have the choice to go to the pub or not to go. Lots will decide not to go which is fine.

The contact details help with test and tracing. Yes in the wrong hands it can be abused but this isn't a perfect situation. I'd like to think that most people are actually decent.

Reducing social distancing to 1m comes with mitigation conditions and I'm sure the science will back this up

I wish I thought of all those questions before I gave me details to countless bars over the last few weeks lol

I hope the bouncers aren't your mates

As I’ve said I’m not advocating they be opened and I can see the logic in keeping them shut. What is weird though is that the latest stories (they maybe unsubstantiated) seem to suggest they might open mid July . Im not sure how we square that Given visiting one seems to be viewed as akin to a weekend in Libya or Afghanistan unless the next month we’re going to see something staggering with covid .
