Extremely frustrating, in my area we have a very low number of infections, virtually 0 hospitalisations so if we do move into a full lockdown it’ll be annoying to lose some of the small ‘pleasures’ we do have. I’ve massively got back into the gym since the summer and feel it helps get out when working from home

I managed to get some kit for home and even though gym is open I go once a week if that now. Find doing hour and half to 2 hour gym sesh at home is better for me. Routine and not stressing about cleaning equipment etc.
I'm actually in better shape now than before lockdown ?

Might be worth getting some free weights off amazon etc before become more expensive than toilet paper ?
 
Yeah I did get some free weights and kettlebells during Lockdown1 but just found I got a bit bored. The gym I’m at is small group training up to 4 people and think it’s the atmosphere as much as anything that gets me motivated

Fenced off the back third of the garden and got a 100kg tyre, heavy bag, sledgehammer, ropes, pull up frame and free weights. Going to Ibiza ready when this shit is over!!!

Why are people even looking for dates during lockdown? Seems a bit pointless, seeing as you're not really meant to be meeting anybody?

You tell 'em mate, glad someone is taking this seriously.

I work away from home most of my time, so I've got a forearm like Popeye.

In fact when I get home and get some action from my Missus, I feel like I'm cheating on my wrist.

Every time I go, I'm like, I'm in decent shape.

Then you go to Ushuaia etc and see the young guys peacocking ? around the place, and think yeah, least I tried ?

Youngest daughter (8) told me I had moobs the other day.

Felt like round house kicking her.

Kids are so cruel.

She quickly back peddled and said she actually meant pecs.

I’m still the reigning champ (2 years running) at the school sports day Dads race, I think she forgets that.

This primitive set up is a great way to train, I think.

Fancy gyms are great, but you can’t beat a good warrior style workout with kit like this mate ?

Was a SAGe scientist on BBC news today. He said they are seeing x4 number of 18 - 40 year old women been admitted with serious disease. They think it might be because retail is open this time and that demographic is thus more exposed to the virus.

Just goes to show, be safe peeps ?????

Mothers...kids home from schools...mothers...schools...moth....how many times does it have to be drilled into them that kids carry the virus - it doesn't stop infecting them because they are under 18.

The SAGe guy said young kids don't seem to, but older ones, they might but the data is still been gathered on that.

Suggested secondary schools should close, at least for older kids.

Tl;dr, teenagers can be spreaders like adults ?‍♂️
 
Complete speculation on my part: perhaps the previous evidence of school age kids not been a risk was right, but this new strain which is now dominant in Europe & thought to me more virulent changes that.?‍♂️

So much we don't know, if only we had star trek tricorders ??
 
Boris late, I'm assuming some last minute change of details.

Also seems the Teachers Union not wanting the schools open. Don't know where I stand on that...appreciate they are at risk, but at the same time when kids are taught at home the good parents bother and push their children on, while the feckless just ignore theirs so the achievement gap widens further. Also difficult for people to work from home with kids in the house.

Might be a bit harsh but teachers need to get on with it, same as us in healthcare, shop staff etc
