"If you have trouble understanding the reasoning have a google for an article in Nature titled 'Mobility network models of COVID-19 explain inequities and inform reopening' If you can't be bothered with that, the authors suggest that a few Points of Interest (POI) such as gyms, restaurants and churches are responsible for a high number of infections. They go on to assert that reducing capacity reduces infections. Washington Post has a free article titled 'These venues are high-risk areas for spreading the coronavirus, model suggests'." They did a survey after part 1 and found the rates were tiny. Not that it matters now like. But when things start opening up again they better not be left to the end like last time | |||

"I could understand closing the gyms if none of the reasons didn't apply to garden centres. They should be closed as well, not exactly essential is it? So if there open, why not gyms??" Well, garden centres hardly involve the heavy breathing that gyms do. Unless you’ve got some interesting garden centres down your way... | |||

"Its just trying to keep people out of indoor places together as much as possible, in a takeaway you are inside for maybe 5 minutes, a gym 30 mins plus. The transmission infection is thought to take 15 mins of close contact to give enough of a dose to infect you seriously " Pleeease some of these people stand in front of the mirror for 30 mins | |||

"You spend less time in a takeaway than a gym, and breathe less heavily, with a mask on." So simple yet so difficult for some to understand.
Had a similar conversation with colleagues about pubs and restaurants. They supposedly can't differentiate the risks between sat at tables apart from others, and d*unken mingling. | |||

"I could understand closing the gyms if none of the reasons didn't apply to garden centres. They should be closed as well, not exactly essential is it? So if there open, why not gyms??" That's like comparing apples and oranges! But my thoughts are 1. Garden Centres are pretty open with part of it being outside. 2. People tend to shop for 30 mins. 3. It's a shop deemed essential by the powers that be so people wear masks. 4. You don't get people breathing heavily in them. Don't be selfish. Find an alternative. | |||

"Gym's abslubtly should be open if b&m and co are open, the word essential is diffrent to everyone. To some it may that a take away they have every week after a hard weeks work as a treat. To some like myself working on the front line the gym was and always has been my happy place, the place i forget about my external issues. I go to the gym for thr benefit of my mental health as much as my physical health. All studys conducted have shown that from nhs track snd trace the gym economy was the one lowest flagged. My gym was closed after every session for 30 mins and for a deep clean social distancing was in place. I went to the range yesterday qued to get in " for social distancing capacity" yet inside. I can touch what i want pick it up put it back, in walk down isles less than 2m wide.... U do the maths " I share this opinion..as a supermarket worker I see it. Once people are inside it's a free for all. Gyms were far more serious about it from my experience. | |||

My partner and I are both front line workers throughout this shit show and people getting dramatic over gyms being closed is frankly embarrassing. It won't be forever and unless there is a substantial decline in your local covid cases then you are giving other healthcare workers a slap in the face by demanding gyms reopen now This is the basis of most covid arguments. Take another social issue and compare it to covid, obesity doesn't cause covid. Try stay in point. Very few studies that I'm aware of have been done in gyms others than using contact tracing data from covid apps. The uptake on the use of covid app for the 18 to 40 age groups in tiny so data in not in any way accurate. It's a non argument. You stated yourself that it's an hour away from home to clear your head, surely you could go for a walk. Do you think people with health issues to the point of needing physio or recovery are safe in an enclosed space with increased arobic volumes in the air and an extremely high turn over of equipment. Also do you think masks should be worn in gyms " There was a survey done just before the lockdown which showed gyms to be about 8th on the list. It's a pointless argument anyway as They are not going to open them again whilst we are in full lockdown. | |||

"Totally disagree with you on that one im afraid. Gyms have statistically shown via the track and trace app to be well below the required r rate. People use the gym for diffrent reasons, be it mental health, physical health surgical physiotherapy, general physiotherapy, an escape from every day issues, financial or personal. As i state the term essential if dependent on a certain individuals however, don't forget pre covid the health system was fighting and losing the battle against diabetes and obesity, doctors were looking into prescribing gym memberships for mental health depression and obesity to try and reduce the trend. If you fail to see why a take away a mcdonalds or a kfc, poundland b&m and other stores of such can be open while a gym is closed then im afraid i feel that you are also slapping the staff in the face who have worked so hard to try snd reverse all of the above mentioned illness, to change the stigma and breakdown barriers for people with certain issues to have the confidence to go to a gym and be empowered to make a positive change Gym's abslubtly should be open if b&m and co are open, the word essential is diffrent to everyone. To some it may that a take away they have every week after a hard weeks work as a treat. To some like myself working on the front line the gym was and always has been my happy place, the place i forget about my external issues. I go to the gym for thr benefit of my mental health as much as my physical health. All studys conducted have shown that from nhs track snd trace the gym economy was the one lowest flagged. My gym was closed after every session for 30 mins and for a deep clean social distancing was in place. I went to the range yesterday qued to get in " for social distancing capacity" yet inside. I can touch what i want pick it up put it back, in walk down isles less than 2m wide.... U do the maths You don't really need to do the math as it's not all that complicated. If you are in a store or gym the idea is not to pick something up and put it back, that's just basic cop on. I spent 25 years in gym and I've seen more damage done to people's mental health through social media pressure and the crap supplements people take. My partner and I are both front line workers throughout this shit show and people getting dramatic over gyms being closed is frankly embarrassing. It won't be forever and unless there is a substantial decline in your local covid cases then you are giving other healthcare workers a slap in the face by demanding gyms reopen now" A few weeks not going to a gym won't do any harm  | |||

"Authorities think a kebab & pizza etc is an essential, But not health or fitness, Fecking joke.." I'm guessing you can work on health and fitness for a few weeks without going to a gym though? I mean if it's so critical there are work around aren't there? Not saying I agree with feeding the nation crap fast food and making it harder to exercise for gym goers. I agree it's crap. And paying people to eat more food for a nation rife with obesity and with a disease that affects obese unfit people more than any other demographic seems ridiculous. But rather than keep moaning about it... There are plenty of ways to keep fit ad healthy outside a gym aren't there? | |||

"If you have trouble understanding the reasoning have a google for an article in Nature titled 'Mobility network models of COVID-19 explain inequities and inform reopening' If you can't be bothered with that, the authors suggest that a few Points of Interest (POI) such as gyms, restaurants and churches are responsible for a high number of infections. They go on to assert that reducing capacity reduces infections. Washington Post has a free article titled 'These venues are high-risk areas for spreading the coronavirus, model suggests'. They did a survey after part 1 and found the rates were tiny. Not that it matters now like. But when things start opening up again they better not be left to the end like last time " Left to the end? I want to get out into a croud and leap about with them to a live band. That 'really' helps my metal health, and that hasn't come back at all, but I can understand why. Surely people who use the gym can understand that even if it only posses a tiny risk (which I honestly don't understand how that can be true), it is still a risk and there are plenty of alternatives (running, cycling, getting weights from Amazon and lifting at home, etc)? The risks of a takeaway are much, much lower, and are also just as important to some, especially those that have been in isolation since the start of this. | |||

"Takeaways are open purely for financial reasons, I agree that it makes no sense to keep them open and not gyms but there are plenty of other ways to exercise rather than going to the gym. While the mental health argument is salient it’s been shown that going for a walk in the fresh air is good for your mental health too. What isn’t is deciding that the only thing that helps it is the gym and fixating on that rather than looking for other coping mechanisms. Personally I’d close both for a limited period, but it’s not up to me." I suppose we are all amateur doctors and psychologists. The point for me is not that garden centres are open but that people are choosing to go their. Their free choice but won't get me near one. And as for gym goers. For many, gym is an addiction. They crave and need it. I just hope they can be inventive. Cardio or weight training is easily adapted elsewhere. Just be imaginative. I remember one of the Rocky films where Rocky was to fight the Russian Drago. Drago was in a high tech gym. Rocky was in the great outdoors running free and chopping logs.. and there was only one winner... | |||

Plumbers, electricians or my favourite, the washing machine repair man | |||

"Until the spring or allow those vaccinated oy to attend ?" This who have tested negative or have been vaccinated effectively..sure..why not. We are testing approx 2.2m people a week as negative... Why not find a way to allow them to do more. Spend more, work more... Only issue with the vaccination comment is... There is no tested and approved and manufactured and disttibuted vaccine yet. Small issue! | |||

"Garden centres open near us sell house hold bits and Christmas goodies as well must been 500 people in there last week all inside car park rammed Most of them sell some kind of food and also pet food/products which means they can open up. I saw a vape shop starting to sell vitamins so they could open up, just a small addition for them to start trading again. Vape shop owners are not the most ethical of individuals at the best of times, most would be happy to trade any kind of narcotic they can find a legal loophole to sell Never been in one so can’t comment on that but just shows there are little loop holes that allow places to open back up. " And the issue here is... If everyone is applauded for finding loopholes to allow them to be "unlockeddown".. Firstly it completely invalidates the notion of a lockdown but most importantly does sweet fa to reduce the spread of infections, the inevitable hospitalisations that follow and then the deaths.... We need to go back to basics for a bit and focus on essential only. | |||

"Is it just me or do you also find the reasoning behind this a strange one? In my opinion mental health is more important "Not quite sure what the two things have in common. Some people enjoy a take away, some enjoy the gym. But thats the only comparison i can see. If you are trying to compare them because eating certain takeaways are deemed unhealty therefore gyms should be open to combat that, then its a pointless comparison. | |||

"Gyms has a large number of people hanging around for at least hour or so with a takeaway you just grab and go. It baffles me too.
One of the best ways to fight covid Is to have a healthy immune system which comes with exercise
The people most likely to get it are those with a poor diet."Two healthy people might catch it and have no symptoms as they are fit but that doesn’t mean they then won’t pass it on to someone else that isn’t fit and healthy. | |||

Macdonald's is good for the health of the people if this country? "It wasn't healthy before the lockdown, but you can't use the pandemic as an excuse to shut it down. You have to consider what is essential, what has risk factors and what has alternatives. Are gyms essential? No. There are plenty of ways to exercise away from a gym. Are there safer alternatives to the gym? Yes. Even if the gym only offers a slight risk, there are safer alternatives. Are takeaway essential? Yes. If you are isolating and run out of food, how else will you eat? This did happen to a lot of people during the first lockdown as all delivery slots were booked up. Are there safer alternatives to takeaways? Not if you are out of food and need to eat. | |||

Winter months, dark, broken uneven pavements, broken street lighting, dog crap on pavements, ... Dark badly lit parks..

And wonder when take away flood became the only game in town when people are hungry.... Maybe a shop is open for food too.? Not that it's any covid safer than a takeaway but the food might be slightly healthier... Might be.. " First point - yes, people can have accidents running outside. People can also have accidents at the gym. There are excercises you can do indoors if outside gets too dangerous. Seconds point - As I said, for people isolating. That means they can't go to the shops. Also, not 'all' takeaways are McD. You can actually get healthy foods delivered. | |||

""Like a lot of these threads there is usually agreement on about 90 per cent of things and people argue / debate real outlier cases. Still it's that or watch another yoga video... " yep.
To be fair I feel sorry for people that love the gym, but everyone is missing out on something they love at the moment.
We just need to get on and get past this on the best way possible so life and the things we love can come back to some sort of normality rather than fighting amongst ourselves. | |||

A walk would do you much more good "Not if you are on a specific training regime, ie using weights etc. Walking is fine for cardio and toning, but you won't see people walking around with dumbells etc. But then, maybe shag can start off a new fitness craze lol. | |||

They've stayed open for people in self-isolation who can't get to shops for essentials, just like last time. Don't know about you, but when I'm sick cooking is the last thing on my mind. Plus, remember all the bare shelves? Takeaways were a godsend for many who weren't able to get food at all.
Also, the gyms might be alright now but imagine the transmission risk in January when they're usually heaving. | |||
