O/T Coronavirus Thread

[flourbasher]

[QUOTE=rolymiller;39464426]For a week or two? You have a lot more chance of picking up the bug in a crowded supermarket than a quiet street, I think you are imagining the streets are more busy than they actually are if you are not going out into them . I was out today for about an hour. In that time I saw about 10 people all were well spaced. I passed about 4.AT least 4 of them wrre joggers who would be unlikely to be running if they felt crap. I do enough running to know that your body doesnt feel like running if you feel crap. THe roads and pavements were very quiet so it was easy enough to detour round people. I live in a reasonably averagely busy area normally. THe only people who were not following the rules were people who werent exercising ie stood about talking.

You still haven't commented on my benefits of exercise ie protected immune system nor what some poor buggers might have to contend with if they are penned in for months. Mental health issues can't just be dismissed they themselves can lead to deaths.

Some people by the way aint the space to exercise or the tools to do it. We dont all live with big gardens and have our own gym. Or even know how to do it. Everyone knows how to walk don;t they, Its simple and easy.

I think you need to get this into perspective and stop making this issue sound very simplistic. It aint not everybody lives or thinks like you.[/QUOTE




I've said I'm not anti exercise. Exercise is an excellent thing to do. I do lots of it partially for the reasons you mention. What bit of changing your regime from walking running to exercising at home don't you understand? Home gym,s and expensive fit bits are completely unnecessary. The news bulletins have been littered with examples of how to exercise at home for those people who can't think for themselves. No big house or big garden required

You,re asking me to get things into perspective.
The irony.

A 21-year-old woman with no underlying conditions has died after contracting coronavirus, according to her family.
Chloe Middleton, from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, died last week.
In a Facebook post, her aunt Emily Mistry said Ms Middleton "had passed away from Covid-19" and urged others to "do your bit" to stop the spread of the disease.
According to government figures, most patients who have died with coronavirus had pre-existing medical conditions.
There have been concerns that younger people were ignoring warnings over its spread, believing the contagion was only a danger to the elderly.
But in a series of Facebook posts, Ms Middleton's family urged the public to heed safety advice and take the virus "seriously".
'Shattered'
Her mother, Diane Middleton, wrote: "Please think again.
"Speaking from a personal experience, this so-called virus has taken the life of my 21-year-old daughter."
Ms Mistry added: "My beautiful, kind-hearted 21 year old niece has passed away from Covid-19.
"She had no underlying health conditions."
She said the family was "shattered beyond belief".
"The reality of this virus is only just unfolding before our very eyes," she added. "Please, please adhere to government guidelines.
"Do your bit. Protect yourselves and protect others. The virus isn't spreading, people are spreading the virus."
Should young people be worried about coronavirus?
Ms Middleton's sister, Amy Louise, added that it was "about time people took this seriously, before too many people end up in this devastating position".

Sad story but what you don't understand is that some people aren't motivated to do exercises at home at least not regularly. Just because somebody does some exercise classes on Tv doesnt mean people will tune in and copy it regularly. Most people can walk you have to remember as well that walking is good for other things than physical health.

The girl who died we don't know how she caught the bug. i would like to bet though that she didn't catch it off a responsible walker or jogger.

You are assuming everybody has the same attitude and motivation to exercise as you. For some just getting out of the house will be chuffin bliss...

As I type this by the way an update has just come on TV from the chief medical officer saying you must only go out of your home for certain things one being exercise. If its good enough for him its good enough for me.

We will have to agree to disagree on this flour.
