I always find the "nature is my gym" types to be the people who do little or no exercise.

Gyms will definitely be back and hopefully more people will have used this time to get into exercise.

It's like saying office spaces will never be back - they might be scaled back a bit but people will still want to have a clear distinction between home & work, while also enjoying the social element of working in an office.

I use both the gym and running, cycling etc.

I find the opposite. A lot of gym goers do their sets at really low intensity. Many are aerobically unfit. Do a set, catch their breath on the phone etc.

I think lots of people will continue to work out at home, with the exception of arnold schwarzenegger types.

Given the choice I wouldn’t. It’s just not for me and like the structure of going to the gym

Deaths were up 21 from yesterday, but given the daily figures are over 4,000, within the statistical margin of error.

Northern Ireland now expecting 10% of deaths initially predicted

Northern Ireland's projected death rate from the coronavirus in the first 20 weeks of the pandemic has been revised to 1,500, down from the 15,000 fatalities projection made at the beginning of March.

The new 'reasonable worst case scenario statistic' was given by the Stormont Health Minister, Robin Swann, at a media briefing a short time ago.

At the beginning of March, before measures to tackle the pandemic were in the place, modelling suggested as many as 15,000 people could die in Northern Ireland.

The latest available official figures suggest 207 people have died from the virus. In reality the total is higher because this calculation does not include the deaths in care homes.

One in nine (53) of Northern Ireland's care homes have residents with the virus.

That gym goers are fitter that runners etc. Most do low intensity exercise in gyms. Catching breath while on their mobile. I frequent gyms and train outdoors.

Looks like the Bundesliga will be starting up again behind closed doors on May 9th. Just waiting clearance from the German Health Ministry.

The government did a lot of good, but their handling of nursing homes has been catastrophic.

Anyone got comments on today’s figures? Why are they still so high?

The situation in nursing homes is going to be an absolute scandal, people being left to die.

stephenjmcd

77 reported deaths today. You'd wonder is there more deaths being reported today that weren't listed as covid related prior to the weekend, has to be largely nursing homes unfortunately. RIP to all.

His point didnt really have much relation to anything I said.

I think he misunderstood my classification of people - the nature is my gym types arent people who do cardio outside, they are people who smuggly belittle others for going to the gym while doing nothing themselves.

They are a branch of the University of life or school of hard knocks types
