    Pretty sure sport continues because of the testing protocols. If they were to put the country in lockdown and suspend the only form of entertainment for the majority of the population (football) the people wouldn’t tolerate it.

    For recreational boxers and other guys who play sports for fun, think they’ll have to stop though.

    I think they will keep professional sport going but it will all be without fans.

    So any plans to get the fans back will now be shelved until at least April next year.

    Message to the boxers who thought they could sit this out and wait for the crowds to return, you cant. Not unless you want to become inactive and semi-retired.

    I see Germany and France is still playing professional football since their lockdown, but now without any fans. Which is encouraging for those of us who need sport to continue.

    Elite sport continues so effectively that’s any sport currently televised in the UK.

    The Hobson drive in show in November could be in doubt I suspect.

    Forgot totally about that.

    Given the ticket pricing it does seem Hobson needs a gate to put this on- I hope it goes ahead however.

    Absolute joke that gyms are closing again. The conspiracy theorists were right all along, this has got nothing to do with protecting public health.

    My basic knowledge

    Kids at school means we are in no way cutting potential transmissions.

    We may marginally reduce them but they will carry on going up.

    Unlike version 1, parents are allowed a bubble person for childcare so they can work still.

    Most peoples childcare will have to be a grandparent.

    The group we most want to keep away from the virus. Old people.

    How ever the choice of not being able to feed their kids without working means despite the risk it will have to be done.

    Cut a long story short. Thanks to Captain Boris we will have a generation that inadvertently murdered their grandparents.
