It will be very hard for the clubs to survive just like any other sector during this time, also I think that many have to come in terms with to be asexual for the forthcoming future, but we have to be reminded that it is not transmitted through sexual contact so a tricky one there.
Also I’d forgotten to mention that sadly, a load of clubs have closed after this weeks news. Very sad indeed.

I am working out at home but yes not everyone will get it as it also have to do with how good the immune system are as well. I dont believe all the the things they say about covid tho.
I'm listening to the scientists.
A lot of the serious Covid effects are caused by an overreactive immune system, too, so I wouldn't rely on that.

Took the words out of my mouth. May not be spread sexually but you’re still in extreme close proximity with others.
The ad from Scotland was bang on the money with this and how easily it’s spread.
So while not perhaps sexually transmitted, there’s still skin to skin contact and droplets in the air.
Imagine doing this and said person was infected and you had no idea, nor did they until the following week.
The people you’d have been in contact with over that week.
It’s all very worrying.
The best defences are a) stay away from people, and b) cover your mucus membranes (nose, mouth, eyes).

That is good you are, also what I have heard is that covid is actually linked more to a metabolic pandemic then anything else where deficiencies have been found to be the route cause, like vitamin d.

Absolutely. Imho it’s all common sense what we’re being asked to do. I don’t understand why people are finding it so difficult to grasp tbh.

Yes that is not good news that as they have employees as well that will lose their jobs cos of it.
Indeed. Very sad. I do work for a company who’ve only last month reopened. Spoke to them last night, they may close again for 2-3 weeks. Though they have furlough and the extended scheme, it’s still a massive loss of revenue (not a club etc). So for clubs to close, means loss of staff, who lose their income and the job market at present is extremely challenging. For the owners it’s a loss of everything isn’t it. So it’s quite sad all in all.

That's not what the virologists (including corona virus specialists and one of the first people to isolate the original SARS) say at all, FWIW.

On this note, we watched a documentary the other day by Sir David Attenborough called “Extinction”. It’s not only about nature, what’s happening to the world etc. But It also explains about the coronavirus diseases (which were discovered in the 60s/70s) and how it may have come around. It actually did make me stop and think about a lot of things that I’d not really considered previously.

It can be found on iPlayer. X

I've been listening to a podcast called This Week in Virology. They normally do other stuff but... at the moment mostly SARS-Covid-2. There are seven known human corona viruses. Four are common colds (but were probably deadly epidemics like this one hundreds or thousands of years ago: they're colds now because most/ all of us were exposed as babies). There's also MERS, SARS (close to the current pandemic), and SARS-COVID-2

Yes it’s quite fascinating though worrying too. SARS is nasty and I recall how worried we all were during the outbreak, but it wasn’t like this.
Swine flu, bird flu, MERS, Ebola. All are linked and the documentary has excellent points raised.
The crux is survival of the fittest. But you’d be surprised at what they are. Not the lions and jungle beasts. But insects, rats, bats and typical creatures that carry diseases.

Bats carry a lot of diseases, it seems. We should study them and preventatives.
Agreed. There’s bound to be a link with their offspring and a natural antivirus.
This is also why we shouldn’t be hammering the rainforests. There’s cures in there that we don’t know exist. We shouldn’t be destroying it. We being humanity. I’m no eco warrior but I know it’s messing us up.
The bats also shouldn’t be eaten ffs. Placed in soups alive and eaten. Nah not good. X

There are groups that sequence the viruses in various animals. Find out how they work, what they have in common. Apparently broad spectrum antivirals or vaccines are in principle possible to SARS type corona viruses.

Absolutely. It’s all genetics. It’s all there for us to work out. We just need to collate I think with other countries. For the common good of all.
But pharmaceutical = ? sadly.

Yeah. But I think if regulated properly (sigh) it's by far the lesser of two evils.
If not regulated properly it's still probably the better choice.

Coming back to this - we definitely see a difficult future ahead for this scene. Can’t see how it’ll be any different next year either. X

It's going to very difficult,even when normal activities can resume.I think the trust element has gone right out of the window, with regards to new and old friendships.As for the club scene.I hope the ones that have had their members safety top priority,can come back stronger and more profitable x

Indeed. The trust element is hugely significant. Sadly. Hopefully clubs can continue with a safer environment, as you say, especially those who’ve put member safety first. I just don’t think it’s going to happen for some time.

As for us personally, same as everyone else really. In limbo and certainly will not chance it or take any unnecessary risks. X
