Hopefully most of them will keep it up. They did the same here, until lockdown was lifted on May 11th. Now, we see hardly any of the folk that were out pounding the streets back then.

The effects on the elderly will probably be here for as long time after lockdown finishes. Not just the elderly. Possibly those who have been shielding and those with Disabilities who have not been able to get out with the queues etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant see them opening for some time due to the obvious reasons of sweat/ air / droplets going everywhere from people exercising / also using machines with their hands.

I saw lots of new faces at first either walking or running, now I'm back to rarely seeing anyone. Reckon people thought it was a good way to get out the house and make a change for the better during lockdown but quickly realised there was a reason they don't normally run and went back to sitting inside.

Reason I'm asking is that in England face coverings will be come compulsory in supermarkets , public transport but no word of masks being sent out.

We were given one each about a month ago, and two more (of a far higher standard) just last week. They are ‘recommended’ to be worn at all times but are not compulsory. Now though, you must wear one on all public transport and on entering train stations. They are also now compulsory in almost every shop and, on entering these shops, you must use the alcohol hand gel provided at the door. Yes, they are washable. We can buy disposable ones (with a maximum four hour usage) at a cost of 2.90€ for five or a cost of 29.50€ for fifty. We can also also buy them in Italy at a cost of 3.99€ each. These can be used up to 40 times each. Hope this is helpful, and answers everything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joondalupjambo Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 My man Whitty has just said in today's briefing that we need to prepare for winter in terms of handling the virus. He said that it will be worse if we are indoors more and we may need to look at ways of keeping people apart, indoors to me sounds like sports stadiums could be included in that thinking. Sounds like it is a heads up that we might not be watching live football until next spring. Surely we cannot sustain that because clubs will go the wall by the bucket full right across the UK. To me this is the first time I have heard folk saying live that we need to ease lockdown in a briefing and then at the same briefing state that time winter will be a problem and more lockdown measures may be needed. It sounds like we may have a lull and then off we go again with more painful measures. Not being negative just picking up what has just been said. Hopefully I am getting the message wrong.
