Lancashire saw this (Tier 3) coming and played their cards well.
And successfully negotiated many concessions, including one for gyms.
Together with a £42 million payment - and, perhaps, more later.
Yes, successfully negotiated, but I thought the purpose was closing things down to keep us safe?
What does negotiations have to do with it? The very idea is obscene.
Either gyms are safe or they are not. The virus is not influenced by negotiations, the clock chiming ten, or if people are holding a Cornish pasty or not!

This has been happening as a matter of course fo this r years - in health, education, transport, policing and virtually everything else.
Over an education budget maybe but never before to remove the fundamental rights of civil liberty such as seeing who the hell you wish to in your own home.
I agree with Honey that it is obscene.
Watching the news earlier I had to pinch myself - this bollocks is actually fucking happening..

If only things were that simple. Nowhere is totally safe, even the shops which have remained open.
Or our homes - because the provisions we take in could be contaminated. We ourselves could get infected from a door handle or surface.
So little is known about Covid that we can only offer the most simplistic defences - distancing, hygiene and common sense.
The phrase the government like to use is "covid safe". Obviously we all know it is a load of bullshit, but can you explain how gyms in one area can be more "covid safe" than another area?
You can eliminate the risk of being infected at home, if it bothers you.
Make up a spray bottle (daily) of water and a splash of milton and spray all food packaging with it.
Everything else can either have a quick blast of alcohol, dettol, zoflora, or just be left for a week for the virus to die.
It cant get through the skin, so you are not at risk of catching it from surfaces as long as you antibac after.
If you keep away from people and wear a protective mask, the risk is low.
You cant be worrying about it in your own home, Barney. You will go bonkers.

Why this risk in particular over the others
Because it's killed over a million people, we can't stop it spreading and are unable to find a cure for it?
But we CAN stop it spreading. We stopped it spreading in lockdown. Almost.
We CHOSE to open airports, businesses and schools.
As for the cure, we already have much more effective treatment for it, and they say a vaccine will be ready soon.
In the meantime, stand back and wash your hands.
