I think the jury is out on that issue 423, and I certainly don't need your apology. Lack of contagion in primary aged children? it's possibly the case but not certainly the case. Secondary aged children? they don't know either way.....as far as I can work out.
Uncertainty is a big problem. Ordinary folk want the experts to sound definite and the experts, once their proclamations have been filtered through the media, seemingly oblige......in reality facts are in short supply. It's a dangerous situation and we need info to work out our own personal strategies. Some ordinary folk will only deal with facts and scorn anything else, other more imaginative folk will in the absence of facts indulge in a bit of chat and speculative discussion, they'll sound out others, swap opinions, spot possible strategies and gauge feelings. The second group will always have access to more useful info...... IF they have the common sense to apply filters. It takes a bit more brain power but I know most on this forum have that ability. My strategy is forget sailing until the new year. Dragging boats around on shingle without winches, getting changed in the back of a cold van and driving home with a salty chuff is not my cuppa. Clubs and individuals need to toe the line and be seen to toe the line......mind you, if this goes on past April I shall be revolting. Edited by Sussex Lad - 07 Nov 20 at 11:11am |

I must apologise to the group, children do drive the flu, but apparently not covid.

TBF it's well documented that C19 spreads through people gathering in groups and is much more likely indoors so it's not entirely unreasonable to suggest that there's probably not much of it happening while sailing. Preventing people gathering is the key point and I don't see how encouraging people to sail from public slipways but not their private members club makes any sense.

Wow ... had a look to find the sailor ... 86 people on the Sage committee, no wonder the media can find a Sage committee member to share their point of view, and that it is before they get to the sub committees!

There's some people here with remarkable knowledge of where and how people are getting infected. I don't know that the Sage committee has quite such in depth knowledge.
Incidentally there's at least one sailor on the Sage committee, and she has a very impressive sailing CV. |

But they haven't kept it simple have they or we wouldn't be having this discussion?
Agreed and no argument about acting responsibly and toeing the line. I'll be cycling a bit more often and the dog will get longer walks so he'll be happy... I doubt I'll travel to the coast to sail even though Sport England suggests it's ok for me to do so.

That’s your boat park, what about the next sailing club, or the one after that which may not be able to give that sort of access. That’s what I’m alluding to. If too difficult to differentiate between venues, hence why they are all shut. All the shut down is for is to buy time for the vaccine, should it happen and to prevent the nhs from becoming overrun with COVID cases.

Hopefully the mass testing experiment in Liverpool will help. The furlough scheme seems expensive, but if people were laid off it wouldn't cost much less, plus companies can retain their staff,with all the benefits of people you know and already experienced.
