Clubs still allowing sailing

Universities are already studying peoples reactions to lock down, griff you are going to go down a treat, they will study social media, especially public access forums, from car thieves.com to alleged more enlightened forums like Y&Y, caravan club etc.

Originally posted by iGRF Well my score now is 1 person I know died from CV and 1 suicide from business failure, dozens of lost jobs and the businesses I know of failing also in their dozens. I hope what is going to follow with more business failures and more suicides was worth it.

Priti Patel, may toughen up lock down, there is a marked increase in traffic, hardly surprising when millions are returning to work, my company closed down due to being unable to maintain social distancing, now we can open with the same issue mitigated by turning heads so we can now work side by side but not anywhere else, good luck with maintaining lock down.

You are right that the rules as written allow you to walk to HISC which I assume is your local and go sailing with your wife. You are wrong that just because you are proficient and unlikely to get into trouble that sailing should be allowed - the harbour master has to make rules that apply to the majority which means he has to stop muppets going out in a blow up paddle boat and being swept out to sea or whatever. There are plenty of people who think they are great sailors who go for a swim every time the breeze gets up. But, people are fine taking up cycling. Wiggle / Evans are reporting massive shortages of bikes because so many people have bought new.  I consider myself pretty competent at cycling, but I've ended up in an ambulance / A&E from that.  I think harbour masters, coastguard and the RYA should issue guidance. Saying now is not he time to take up a new unfamiliar sport. To stay well within your comfort zones. To stay close to home in familiar waters. That mirrors what cycling organisation have been largely saying.  My fundamental belief is that outdoor activity, despite the risks, long term will see more people avoid health care. There will be people that need rescuing afloat by the coastguard and RNLI. But there will be less people who need recusing by the health professionals in the community.

I think it's spot on, explains everything, the media only going for negativity, confirmation bias by supposed 'experts'.

Ignoring facts that indoors is worse than outdoors, that was proven in the WW1 outbreak, patients outside recovered better than those inside.

We've all been locked up for at least a month, it's time the bloody restrictions were relaxed, at the very least we should be able to visit friends who have also been locked up for a month. Gather at each others houses.

We should be allowed on the bloody water to exercise.

It really is outrageously stupid all this.
