We're having "one metre plus" social distancing. Apparently the government has told the universities to have tighter restrictions than the rest of society. From what I've read, this is not the government policy, but rather universities going their own way with it, probably to placate the unions. Also noticable how little posting there has been on this thread of late, which I think is a sign of the reduced impact this is having on our lives. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 If the SG's Education Secretary can now indicate that they'd like to bin face coverings in secondary schools in 'around six weeks', then they can indicate when they'll be punted in the bin for all other settings as well, instead of pandering to control freaks. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 More fatties and subsequent burden on the health service on the horizon. That's what happens when you're myopic and don't take a holistic approach. Quote Posted at 11:49 Parkrun participation fall 'down to broken fitness habits' BBC Radio 5 Live Copyright: PA Media Groups of runners, walkers, buggies and dogs have become a common sight on a Saturday morning at 09:00, in parks and green spaces across the globe, as they assemble for the weekly 5km Parkrun. Before the pandemic, the timed events took place in 2,200 locations. In England, events resumed in late July - 16 months after they were suspended due to Covid measures. Most have restarted worldwide, but participation is down, according to group CEO Nick Pearson. He told the BBC they've seen a drop in runners of 10-15%. Pearson says organisers intially believed this was due to concern about Covid-19 spreading, but their research has suggested otherwise. "The biggest reason people aren't coming back is, they've got out of the habit of Saturday mornings... of physical activity. Or they've switched their day around, got into different routines," he tells Radio 5 Live's Wake Up to Money podcast. "There's an important message there, when we look back and reflect on how we handled the pandemic. Good habits were broken quite quickly, I think. "Surprisingly, it's older people coming back... younger people have switched their behaviours more rapidly. "We'll look back and think every week that we were closed, we will have lost a percentage of people who broke that habit, and it will take them a period of time to get back into good, positive health habits." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know theres a lot to look back at come the time, and it might come across as trivial, but I think the way gyms/exercise was treated was really really poor, given the link between fitness and covid outcomes 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think we should be paid a little to excersise. Having a fit and healthy population would soon see the burden on the NHS dramatically drop. I'd bet it would work out better economically too than the current set up too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm working under the University guidance and thats exactly it. We don't have to social distance but we do have to wear masks. Unless we can maintain 1 m distance and then we can ditch masks. The TUs and management have agreed we will do both 1m and masks. I don't really care but it's a massive ballache given we were told no social distancing and we risk assessed and did capacities for 7 learning centres on that basis and then management changed goalposts to move us in line with schools. So now we had to the repeat exercise for 1m knowing full well we will be doing it again in a few weeks back to 0. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
