Not opening gyms is a bit disappointing. I learned the virus doesn’t transfer in sweat anyway. But you’ll be able to get your haircut.

My abiding memory is stinky yellow Lycra clothes.

One more point

Having purchased my first road bike last week - you need the padded shorts as the saddles are very uncomfortable!

It's likely due to the number of people using the exercise equipment, or in the case of treadmills, breathing heavily rather it more likely that they'll spread the virus. Granted they could wipe down the machine after, but would people bother? I can appreciate the argument to just letting people take risks if they feel like it, but at the same time I get where they are coming from.

Nadine Dorries displays the innumeracy in the country and the government. Instead of saying Leicester has about 10% of UK cases, she said 10 in 100 people in Leicester have Covid.

It looks like more testing produces more cases. This is the case in America. Previously they tested old and sick. Now they’re testing young and asymptomatic. In Leicester I think they’ve panicked again because they fear lots of Asian grandparents living with family are going to die. The language difficulty reason is bizarre.

Instead of looking at hospitalisations and deaths, they’re fixed on cases now. What will happen is that people will travel out of Leicester anyway, so they may as well shield the elderly. One young Asian bloke said he was driving to Nottingham on Saturday to get his haircut after working all week somewhere. Maybe they think they can’t do that with all the Asian grandparents in the Hindu area or the Muslim area. Probably have to shield Leicester for months or years then.

The whole thing is feckin crackers. 2nd waves, peaks etc on and on, every time you turn the tv on. They’re testing more people everywhere. Of course there will be more cases.
