Cut to queens posting their running stats again.

I wouldn't be surprised if we end up locked down again in two weeks.

C'mon teletubby, teleport us to Chromatica

That was the most depressing part of lockdown for me. I’m completely useless working out at home. I don’t have the material or the place for it. And I only managed to drag myself out to run a handful of times, and that was when we had glorious weather. UGH.

Did you not try resistance bands? It turns out the infomercials are a load of shit and it’s not actually a complete home gym solution :(

*pings eye out*

Nah, even though Instagram was RELENTLESS with the ads for those during lockdown :eyes:
 
I LOVE the gym but it's not a bad time for me to lose it as I want to concentrate on running ANYWAY, given that swimming proper long distances in the sea is going to get increasingly impossible to do.
 
Sorry to hear about the gyms @Dark Carnival

I really feel out of all the places I visit, it feels like the most controlled environment. So yeah, I better get to the gym at lunch time just incase they follow suit here :(

I don’t think full lockdown is necessary in the sense of shutting everything down - why not just put a complete ban on households mixing like Scotland and Northern Ireland?

Got to be worth a punt SURELY...

As someone who lives on their own let me say PLEASE GOD NO. There must be better ways than making sure some people go weeks without a face-to-face human conversation.
 
I've just downloaded the new app. I'm pretty sure you have to have bluetooth enabled for it to work, but I didn't have it turned on and didn't get any prompt to enable it, so that'll be thousands of people who think they're protected/helping but aren't.
 
Now that I won’t be able to escape to an office daily, I am fucking dreading a second lockdown and being locked in with Mr Sheena in a small flat all day long.

We got on really well during the first lockdown, but me being off all summer and him being here but working has been TOUGH to say the least.

They’re EASILY way more controlled than bars, offices and public transport! I’m literally never within a meter of anyone. The absurdity of it all.

Perfect example of why another full lockdown is not the way to go.

But that article mentions it’s possible most of that is because people are/were ( :( ) worried about going to hospital because of Covid. Covid is still going to exist whether we have a lockdown or not.

Yeah that is never going to go away unfortunately :(

But a lot of excess deaths happened because normal care was stopped in exchange for covid care/critical care. The NHS have said they won’t do that this time. They have a backlog of appointments/care from spring that they can’t put on the back burner again. Enough is not said about the fact that the NHS moved patients out of hospitals into care homes to free up space...only for them for them to die there of covid. Hence the alarming care home death rate

It's OK though, while those 10,000 people died of fucking FEAR Wetherspoons were nice and busy. ROLLING EYES EMOJI.

That is a leap. The increase is specifically 10,000 dying at home that would not normally have. Whilst I am sure a large portion of them would not have died under normal conditions, not insignificant proportions of them were probably directly Covid or Covid related, or would have died at hospital if they went. Data which should be available to the governments to help their decision process.

Also, this is an issue the CMOs know about and take into account in their recommendations. Our Scottish one has made numerous addresses on our daily briefing saying that they are seeing less people than they would expect for certain things and urging people to take the medical precautions they would have before.
 
They haven’t really mentioned anything about the continuation of support bubbles, have they? I’ve downloaded the app but will be staying with my mum again this weekend.

I guess bubbles aren’t needed at the moment as people are generally free to mingle? In any case I’d assume the previous bubble exceptions would continue to apply.

I can’t say i felt massively safe this morning. People are not great at the distancing thing. Fair play to them lots of hand gel and sprays and stuff though
 
A couple of days ago someone was chucked off a train at one of the stations mine stops at. He was coughing his guts up all the way from London (obviously not wearing a mask) and was coughing blood by the time the ambulance arrived. It turned out he’d had Covid symptoms for a week but still thought he was fine for a maskless journey to Manchester.

In conclusion, not massively confident about my commute at the moment.
 
The only person I know that has downloaded it so far hasn't left his house in 6 months. :emoji_raised_hands::emoji_raised_hands::emoji_raised_hands:

I think TECHNICALLY they still exist as it’s only people within your household or support bubble who don’t have to social distance but in practice it’s fairly meaningless.
 
I have honestly never understood the bubble thing.

Like I’ve heard people say “oh but they’re in my bubble” but then also have other people in bubbles too? :D

During early lockdown we had a "bubble" that was just me, my housemate and one friend. But then that friend started seeing other people sometimes too. And we were like "oh but his bubble is just him and her"... but the "her" was a nurse at the hospital :eyes: it didn't take long to conclude that the bubbles were a load of BS and we were just using the idea to make ourselves feel better about socialising.
