Hope everyone is well and families too
Anyone got any ambitions after COVID has gone
I’m 50 in may
Had a mate do a parachute 🪂 jump last summer
Get back into 5x5 StrongLifts in the garage is about all I can think 🤔 of at moment
Also thought about trying Judo 🥋
Or MMA gym to try their classes othered
Which is
Brazilian ju jitsu / boxing / MMA / Mauy Thai
Always shyed away from these activities
Feared injury
But hearing through customers of their friends or relatives sadly passing away from COVID 40s and 50s age ranges
Makes me realise life can be too short 🤦♂️😮
Make more money and family time too 👍
Stay safe 👍

Go on a holiday will be a start ;D , having done all the bungee jumps, parachute jump type things, I recommend you should give scuba diving a try, its a different world, especially when done somewhere nice.

Hello p1w1
In another life
1995 I did working holiday in Australia 🇦🇺
I was away for almost a year
I did padi? Open water diving course
It was a week on a yatch (boat)
Airlie beach barrier reef 👍
Did bungee jump in New Zealand
Queenstown
25 years ago now 👴🏻😁
Where you been diving then p1w1 ?

A mate of mine has booked a fiftieth birthday "treat" in June - Covid willing - a wingwalk on a biplane.
Crazy loon!

Heathy deaths under 60 due to Covid is only around 400 people since March last year, i really wouldn’t worry too much mate!
Still has a 99% survival rate and average age of Covid death is nearly 83. Life expectancy in U.K. is 81. So you ain’t got any worries.
Wife works at the local NHS hospital, it’s busy, but it’s not the plague nor Spanish flu 👍🏼

About 500 under 60s a week dying. Underlying health conditions include high blood pressure, asthma, depression. Loads of stuff that doesn’t kill you. Stop spouting nonsense.

I have Asthma
It’s difficult to know what to think
Media like to cause hysteria
BUT
1534 deaths today
Pre Covid-19
January usually 5000 respiratory illness deaths
Probably get that in a week
If not already 🤦♂️
2 million known deaths globally
Out of a 7.7 billion population
1% death rate would be 77 million
But as said hearing customers losing relatives 50 and under!

I use to do and martial Judo (good defence) for keeping healthy. Also did a lot of Kung fu (attack) very good for fitness and self control. Last few years been getting more into surf kayaking, more enjoyable and definitely keeps you fit if you don't drown too many times being rolled over by the waves, it's definitely an adrenalin rush the bigger the waves and a lot faster than normal kayaking. Dived the famous blue hole in the Caribbean to 120ft, managed to get my sports diving qualification out there, different world all together, loved it!

It’s not nonsense. It’s truth. Healthy people are not dying from it.
Stop scare mongering. My wife works in a hospital.
It still has an overall survival rate of around 99%.
It’s a dangerous disease in the wrong body, but it’s really not killing healthy people under 60.
If you’re vulnerable, isolate. The rest should be cracking on.

Died ‘with Covid’ not of, my wife shows me all the stats. They are putting Covid on death certificates if there is a positive result, regardless of what they died of - which is usually cancer, or some other end of life illness.
Winter 2018/19 over 60,000 flu deaths in just that winter.
It’s bad mate, but it’s not the plague. The media just want you to believe it is.

You sound busy 👍windows washed
I live in Waltham Abbey
Where they built the white water rafting centre for the 2012 Olympics
Ashamed to say never been
Fancy canoeing 👍
Only spring/summer though 😁
I’ve tried most martial arts
But not judo
Bjj is the new sexy one but very expensive
Judo like boxing (which I like 👍)
Is £5-£7 a lesson
Bjj is £15 a lesson or £65 upwards monthly membership
I’m nearly 50 born 1971
When I was a kid martial art instructors did it for love
Was a sideline
Now big business
Or was until Covid 🤦♂️

Without the lockdowns the hospitals will be overwhelmed. That's the reason for the restrictions. It's very simple. You're wrong on the death rate. It's nowhere near 1%. Much less.

Hello Daz
Was thinking of a party too
I’m in may but not sure 🤔 on that one.
Tier systems to slow
My daughter is 16 too
She’s 3 days before
Good luck with the party 🎈😁
To be honest I’d rather go Disney world 🌎 Florida instead
At some point this year
But Mrs and daughter not interested 🙁
Never want to leave the dog in kennels
Never get a dog Daz 😆
Or married 🤭

My plan is a month long trip in my motorhome. Just around the UK coast. We'd planned it to start yesterday as I got my driving licence back yesterday. I'd lost it after having a cardiac arrest in a park and having an implantable defibrillator fitted. You have to go 6 months with no shocks delivered before you can have your licence returned. So... a long tour in the motorhome.

People with cancer die of Co-vid and healthy people are dying of it.
I don't remember The Plague or Spanish Flu but given when they happened they are unrealistic comparisons.
Your wife showed you all the stats? Does she have them all then?

Outdoor pursuits/activities ! I'm 51. Love getting out on the hills mountain biking or overnight camping trips on rivers with kayak. You're right, life's too short. I'm not planning on becoming a couch potato. No need for gyms or classes, active body, mind and spirit and great for mental health.

Why did they build to nightingale units if not using them ,going on that the hospitals are bursting to seams and instead of transferring patients to them nightingale units they are on about putting them in hotels omg

Because if the patients are spread out over lots of hotels it's not headline news but start filling up the Nightingales and it is BIG news! Plus they haven't got the staff for nightingales.
The staff that have been working so hard to fight this virus are just burnt out. They have been working so hard is such a terrible situation it's taking so much of a strain on them they just can't work more shifts. I feel so sorry for them but they are doing a great job and thanks to them all and all the other essential staff that are working.

Ok

They'll use the Nightingales before hotels and hospitals before the Nightingales.
God forbid it ever comes to using hotels.

Yes and you can very easily obtain them yourself from https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/covid-19-daily-deaths/
It isn’t hard to look at the facts.
It is not killing healthy people under 60 in there droves. The survival rate is very VERY high.
The issues as always in the NHS in lack of staff and beds. It has always been like that in the winter.
It’s bad, yes. But it’s No where near as bad as some of you media warriors think.
Go on the website abs look at the stats yourself. You will also see aroind 40-50 deaths added a day that didn’t even have a positive result, yet Covid was put on the death certificate.
I could go on, but I really can’t be bothered with some of you. You clearly pay too much attention to the media.
And yes my wife is in a managerial position quite high up in Colchester hospital. So, I am very much entitled to my opinion. ;D
-
Where do the media get their figures from?
But I agree, we need more beds, staffs, hospitals etc. The government should have been investing in these before this happened.

When it's all over, I want to go into a pub and order a beer (like I used to).
I'm 57 this year. I want to start Pilates classes and if i'm feeling up to it, maybe a bit of Krav Maga.
I used to do Ceroc dancing with the missus. That would be nice to get back to.
To be honest, just happy to get through it, everything else is a bonus.

Same age as me. I do Yoga at home. You can do exercise classes, including Pilates, at home

The figures include those who died within 28 days of a positive test, so if someone had a positive test and died after 29 days they would not be in the figures, unless they do an autopsy on everyone who dies they have to use this method
And if someone with cancer who might have survived another year died of it, thats still sad
The figure of 60000 flu deaths in 2018/19is utterly wrong look it up somewhere other than facebook
There have been over 80000 excess deaths (ie 80000 more deaths than usual)
A friend of mines son aged 18 (who is in the military) was made very ill by it, and a friend of mine 54, with NO health problems has died from it.
It's silly talk like above that has got us all locked down again

My point exactly , but I'm fed up with expressing my opinions because the sheep will follow and believe everything the BBC tell them.
