Nope. The only reason pubs n restaurants have opened and not gyms is cos the tories collect backhanders and tax from the former.

no you utter plank

Good for you. So you really mean open my gym. Cos the ones I visit are basically a room.

There are pubs round my way that could aptly be described as just a room too, and we have to keep in mind that it's pubs and restaurants for whom the social distancing rules have been quite significantly bent for. As Pete said, if it stayed at 2m it wouldn't have been worth opening, and, lest we forget, Chris Witty has just said we should stay at 2m when we can. Going for a pint isn't an essential activity, so it hardly seems worth breaking the 'if we can' guidance for.

To be honest, I can empathise, as there isn't a single person that comes out of a pub healthier than when they went in, yet people are told that gyms are shut for public health reasons. If the government were really bothered about public health then the pubs would stay permanently shut.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

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

And pubs put no pressure on the NHS?

Its what folk do in a gym though. That will have the potential to spread any viral disease, let alone this one.

I personally couldnt care less if a pub or a gym opens anyrate cos I wouldnt go to either. What grinds my gears is a gym bunny crying and shaking cos he cant do what he wants to do, blind to the risk to others.

Keep the gyms shut and keep the mirror worshipping poseurs at home. Gyms are infection laboratories. Keep them shut until a vaccine can be found.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

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

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

Ah come on Roy thought the first round was on you

He was saying opening the gyms would be great for the NHS. I suggested they would not be in the current situation.

Warendorf, a district not far away from Gutersloh that has just gone into lockdown, is now registering over the limit of 50 new infections per 100,000 people. So theoretically should now go into lockdown too. The regional government was quite slow in locking down Gutersloh (they did it at 260 per 100,000) so will be interesting to see what they do here. Not hard to imagine that people working at that meat plant had plenty of time to travel to nearby districts and infect others.

Edit: just checked. Warendorf locked down too.

Gottingen over 50 per 100,000 now, so will probably lock down soon.

Send me your bank details and I will happily lob a tenner in it for you.

Will you employ me then please mate? Or shall I just sign on instead?

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Gym's aren't opening because the roid heads who use them leave dribbles of piss all over the equipment.

 

[davek]

"Remain at least 1m apart while taking mitigating action to reduce the risk of transmission."

WTF does that even mean in the context of a pub? Get a face mask on every time spomeone comes within a metre?

Daft murderous Tory gets.

sorry to kick the behind out of a joke but get the feeling it might get a bit it use .

You work at a gym?

You should just be thankful you're not faced with an army of huffing puffing Covid19 carriers breathing all over you.

Whitty saying we’re in this till at least next spring.

So very depressed right now.
