Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

It's Christmas where I think that becomes a problem. People go home to family. Are they seriously going to say that's now allowed?

Well that’s exactly what they did with Eid
With a couple of hours notice . In answer to your question though , probably not.

Mate, if you get a bout of Covid, there is a chance you could spend the rest of your life in a personal lock down.

Yer i know but its very very unlikely at my age and the type of absolute specimen i am

It'll be bad, but we must not lose sight of the "survivors" (and more infections = more survivors). I don't know personally anyone who has died from it, but I do know a few now who have been seriously damaged by C-19. It's bloody grim.

I know about half a dozen people that have had it and there’s no rhyme or reason to it all.

One couple just got the loss of taste etc, one lad who’s an ex semi pro got quite ill, another lad got very ill, another is still suffering with lack of energy, difficulty breathing at times and an old work colleague died after picking it up in hosy early on in all this ( he had a lot wrong with him )

Be careful what you wish for.

Well, we're definitely in the second wave then. Two weeks until the death rate catches up, just in time for the winter.

Reckon we can declare 'eat out to help out' was the complete success. Note the service sector predominantly employs young people, so now the Government gets to blame the young for being super spreaders.

Some great concept2 sites and channels out there, even if that's not the rowing machine you are using it gives you loads of variation and I find the rowing machine to be a pretty injury free piece of kit

Yeah I couldn't get hold of a concept 2 at the time. But I did manage to get a Taurus Row-x which is a German copy of the concept 2. Literally identical and better built to be honest.

I got lower back ache for a while until I learned how to sit on it properly. But wow what a work out!! Quick 2000m blasts or long 10000m endurance rows. Fantastic bit of kit! The missus has taken to it fantastically and rows every day!


****Sorry. Completely forgot this isn't the fitness thread.

Interestingly, if you look at both France and Spain, they've had very high case numbers for more than two weeks now, and their death rates have remained much the same. I wouldn't say the pattern from spring is guaranteed at all.

What do people think the chances are of the entirety of next season being played behind closed doors ?

It’s not unusual for a vaccine to take 10 to 15 years to complete all the phases then its rolled out to begin mutating people...

I would say that's very possible.

Thats what were hoping for, most the thread have already resigned us to a 1k a day deaths

I think if you’re talking real numbers , like more than a very small percentage then massive . I do think we might see a few trial events or a small number of people here and there but Our ground in particular just isn’t designed for this.
