It’s weird how age is often talked about as a deciding factor. If 50 was the cut off Jesus 3/4 of the population don’t have the levels of fitness of many of my colleagues and myself so how would that work . How many of you youngsters Can run a mile in 5 mins have a VO2 of 55 Plus ,can easily do 30 pull ups at once etc etc . age is irrelevant . Fitness is a lifestyle not in an age. I'm 56 During first full lockdown I ran 10k every day. When the gym reopened I couldnt lift half of what I used to. It's really weird. I was fitter than ever but really weak. Lost weight though.

Currently in Portugal where stricter measures have been re-introduced following a spike in cases, and they have by and large had success in making folk do as they are told! Masks in public areas mandatory, bars having strict protocols enforced, large group gatherings prohibited, and on certain week-ends (the upcoming All Saints holiday week-end being one) where you are not allowed to travel outside your concelho (district). This is an effort to prevent the northern Portuguese from invading the Algarve in droves. Anyhow, all this seemingly good work eradicated in one fell swoop yesterday by allowing upwards of 25,000 in to watch the Portuguese F1 grand prix in Portimao. The argument was numbers were restricted from the 75,000 plus they would have had there in normal circumstances! Maybe they presumed F1 is so boring and predictable, Covid wouldnt want to be there?

Not recently but along time ago I had a similar problem too much just running. A brilliant way to maintain cardio and strength is CrossFit or HIIT training the best thing is you can do it for free it’s addictive and it doesn’t take long. I’ve been in far flung places without a tv or the internet and managed to do a really good circuit using anything to hand as a weight . It’s amazing how much money gyms make as all it really takes is the will to exercise regularly, interval training is great way as it makes you max out to a time and keep going again and again. Anyway as said before age alone is no way to judge if someone can survive this covid we as humans differ so vastly.

I watched a bit of the coverage on Saturday and they dedicated 30 minutes to watching some blokes fix some drain covers. I’m not even joking. Unfortunately then the cars came out.

Blimey Willo did you have to break out the baseball bats to convince her? Is she not capable of making her own decisions about her wellbeing? Apparently not mate. Admittedly I was referring to when all this started 6 months ago but she really didn’t appreciate the seriousness of the situation at the time, not unlike many others tbf. Did you say you have to listen to me because I'm Captain Sensible. She said "Captain?" You said "What?" I'll get my coat.

I agree, there is loads you can do in a confined space, I just find it harder to motivate myself. Working from home currently it's good to get out of the house for a couple hours.

And I guess that will be just about the capacity they would actually need if southern fans can't travel IN to a Tier 3 area!?

United trying to push the Government into a corner and try and force their hand into letting fans back in, whereas Germany seem to be going the other way and now banning all fans...

Dr Hilary, who is a lovely man with a lovely smile but few actual qualifications and zero in epidemiology says its madness that crowds should be back in stadiums. So that's that then. He is smashing with ladies problems as well.

If you want to wind up your Manure and Weeds friends at the same time (apologies for having both), turn to the Manure fan and say "City might have a bigger fan base than you in the Manchester area, but do you ever think teams like them and Leeds could ever have as big a fan base as you Nationwide & Worldwide? The Manure fan will bite at the very suggestion City have a bigger local fan base, the Weeds fan indignant you don't appreciate how massive their worldwide fan base is

The next, Germany bans football fans attending from the 1st of November, Germany goes into regional lockdown, while France goes into a 1 month total lockdown. I don't see any return this season. Maybe some test events post March depending on the situation.

Just my opinion but no one will be doing anything they enjoy while there’s one case of covid on this island. So if you don’t enjoy work you’d better try and start👍

So if you don’t enjoy work you’d better try and start👍 Funnily enough work, for me, has been a sanity saver. I resisted working from home as long as I could and eventually they ran out of laptops, so I've been going in everyday from day one.

There’s no vaccine and not much hope of getting one. The lockdown took numbers to a ridiculous low level. We should have kept numbers of infections high all summer long. Now other winter ailments will put the hospitals under huge pressure. No vaccine means the vast majority have to actually have the virus. The only thing saving anyone in serious condition is a hospital bed Don’t get me started on these nightingale hospitals. Just lining the rich folks pockets. Who the hell is going to man them. Is it so easy being an ICU nurse?? I think not. Joe public who’s lost their job at the pub or restaurant going to work in them ffs

Me too I haven’t missed a day since it started and I’m lucky as I enjoy my job,but I also enjoy the pub,a nice meal,gigs,holidays etc. Tier 3 is just a lockdown on the fun things in life which is obviously a cure all😂

Well, I think that's enough internet today So you’d rather that it happens in the winter with all the other usual seasonal infections that over run hospitals at the best of times. I’m sure AR can confirm, most hospitals have been mainly deserted all summer There’s no easy way out of this. Your main hope of you get seriously ill is a bed. That was the first call ‘protect the nhs save lives’ To stop the nhs getting overrun

Girl at work has tested positive with Covid as has her husband. He and his mate got it when they went to watch a local football match in Barnsley recently. My colleague and her husband have been really ill but seem to be recovering. His mate died yesterday, he was in his mid forties and other than being over weight he had no underlying health conditions. I for one won't be signing petitions to go back to football just yet.

That's sad news and fair comment, it puts things in perspective. Just out of interest, how do they know for sure it was caught at the match?

I believe a number of other people who attended also came down with it and all indications pointed to that being the source.

I'm actually at a loss. People WANTING high infections over summer? Well, I think that's enough internet today Yup. Would have been far better. Not only wanting it,. we should have encouraged it.. amongst the young and healthy, whilst putting all resources into shielding the vulnerable. Very very few would be adversely effected at all, but those that were would be at a time when resources to treat it were sat unused and gathering dust. End result being you have far more of the population with levels of immunity and then when the virus naturally comes back in larger numbers with colder weather, it is FAR harder for it to spread. What we did all summer was make it easier for C19 to spread in the autumn, cost tens of thousands of non-covid deaths and continued wrecking the economy and peoples futures doing it. Our whole approach to this is frankly insane. And now we have professors Laurel and hardy knowingly using incorrect data from previous wildly inaccurate predictions, to make further incorrect predictions in order to terrify the public into accepting further idiotic, economy wrecking lockdowns. All for a virus thats average age of victim is older than the UKs average life expectancy! You should be at a loss about that.

First time I didnt know one person who had it. Now I know plenty. Dreadful if anyone suffers badly or dies but all these schoolkids seem to be over it within a few days. if you think teenagers aren't partying then think again.

And what’s the problem if vulnerable people are self cocooning??

And what’s the problem if vulnerable people are self cocooning?? We have 300k every day, every year undergoing treatments that almost decimate their immune response, we ask them to be very, very careful in their lives whilst having this treatment, which can go on for years. Nobody else is locked down or warned to keep their distance whilst life just goes on?
