Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Guardian story on latest modelling.

Yes, I've had a quick look at that too.
What exactly is the point of it?
Many assumptions and approximations in the set up.

Used to have to run miles in a respirator.

A cotton mask is no problem at all for a normally functioning respiratory system. People just need to get used to it.

There's no evidence that it's needed so why should they?

If you're running through a crowded street then fine, but why would you be, it's lockdown? I doubt many people run through supermarket car parks.

It's really not hard to keep your distance while out on a run or a bike ride.

I won’t be wearing a mask when I go out for a run.

Seems quite dangerous for someone with asthma like me.

 

[BlueToff]

How come some people are still getting their 2nd shot I thought they had changed tactic with that?

Imagine there the ones that were already booked in?

You won't need to, either.

I'm pretty sure even the Spanish authorities were allowing people to go out on a run without wearing a mask (think @dannyboy said that?).

If you're going out on a run on your tod, and you can keep distance from others (which why wouldn't you be able to) then there's zero evidence you are in any way endangering anybody.

Im going on holiday end of August hope us young studs are vaccinated by then dont fancy my chances going on an aeroplane with this new variant knocking about!

The summer turned into the autumn and the behavioural patterns continued.

It shouldn’t matter this year then should it ?

Everyone who needs to be vaccinated, should be vaccinated
by the Summer, so there’ll be absolutely no need to keep the country in lockdown anymore.

There may well be some restrictions still in place, masks, social distancing etc, but the likes of the Covid incubators, muck sellers and back, crack and sack parlours should all be open for business.

Yeah, some very strange rumours knocking about this morning. Concerns me how quickly people lap them up though.

There’s one about only being allowed to leave the house once a week getting traction which I’m sure isn’t true, but a lot of people would be happy for that to come in, it seems.

I always go out early morning or late at night to avoid people anyway.

Me neither, especially when virtually all of my running is off road / cross country.

This is the main thing for me, mate.

Need that crack and sack waxing.

It’s bizarre isn’t it ?

Some people genuinely seem to enjoy living like this.

I really can’t get my head around it.

 

[neil999]

There's no way I could go for a run in a mask! I just wont be able to breath properly... If that law comes on will just have to exercise indoors I guess

Don't think it'll be long before you'll need to have had a vacation before you can fly especially once there's more vaccine available .Think people would be prepared to pay for it once that options available.

I'm certainly enjoying WFH.

I would happily pay if they offered it providing it wasn't extortionate.
