Will clubs be allowed to open once the lockdown is eased or will that come later

Because I think it’s going to be done in stages

I would be very surprised if any clubs opening any time soon and I would have thought there will be serious controls and or restrictions on any club or venue that requires a sexual entertainment license.

I agree! I think that certain activities will still be curtailed. Chances are there could be a number of people who may simply be carriers or mildly infected for a while after what may appear to the end of the crisis. I still have a couple of weekend events arranged in August but I`m not holding my breath that they will still take place.

And there is nothing wrong with wondering or voicing ones opinion. We are lucky to live in a free society and places like this prove that.

Yes, reckon reopening swinging clubs will have a fairly low priority. Once there is a lifting, parties and one to one meets will be the first to return...

Can't wait missing my FWB...!!

By no means a medical expert but I'd suggest that if the experts are predicting a virus peak in two to three weeks then a couple of weeks after that you'll see a SLIGHT easing of restrictions. Maybe pubs opening for a few hours on certain days, but with reduced capacity and maybe table service only so that say 4 people can sit together but not a crush at the bar.

Possibly caravan sites re-opening with reduced capacity.

But then the restrictions reimposed within a couple more weeks as infections rise again. Etc etc.

This way you get controlled herd immunity till the vaccine is ready for use.

As to clubs opening with reduced numbers ????????????????????

At a guess I'd go for October at the earliest, based on what articles I've read indicating that social distancing measures will be practiced for six months

Clubs or the entertainment industry will be one of the last things to reopen.

Are you actually serious?! if you are you are totally deluding yourself. According to today's reports we are looking at 1000 deaths per day from Monday and possibly throughout April and only a slight drop during May and June. Lockdown will be in place for at least 6 months with sporadic lifting of certain restrictions until another spike. This virus is going nowhere until an exit strategy is formulated ie a vaccine but that's 18-24 months away at best and there even if successful unlikely to be widely distributed. Social distancing has to be in place until that point so if you think clubs will reopen in 2020 you are going to be very disappointed!

The country is bleeding to death, jobs going by the day if it lasts that long better off taking are chances with the virus.

And the rest! Why would social distancing be allowed/advisable when the virus is as rampant and dangerous as it is now? 18 months.This thing isn't going anywhere and at the moment we have the highest ratio(9.5%)of deaths to confirmed cases in the world. Social distancing is here to stay for a minimum 18 months and that's if we find a successful vaccine which is widely available and that by all accounts is highly unlikely.

Really? With a 9.5% death rate in the UK?

That % is only based on the actual number of people tested, in reality the mortality rate is probably a lot lower. There was a virologist on the radio earlier today, from Cambridge University, who has been studying the virus in the different countries and came out with some very interesting results regarding mortality rates, number infections and how it is very much as case of who is being actually being tested, a very interesting observation made regarding Germany...

If you test twice as many the % would drop to half.

Some experts are saying up to 20 million of us could have already had it.

On what we have read and heard will be around the end of September. Due to social distancing etc.

I think a lot will change after lockdown. Things like your local pub or that little restaurant you like so much may not be there anymore. I think a lot of small businesses will go under and the longer the lockdown the more will end up closed and out of business for good. This could be the same for swingers clubs as well.

IIRC It was almost being implied by some that germany was skewing their figures by testing people who were fit at the outset (mentioned alpine skiers), thereby reducing apparent mortality rates. I would have thought that only testing people who present in hospital (as we have) was doing the same thing but the other way round. The same article mentioned that uk stats are problematic as the deaths all had covid present but may not be the actual cause. Also mentioned that poor testing result times coupled with inconsistant death recording and reporting meant we could be hearing now of deaths grouped from a week ago... Bottom line - working out anything is an epidemiologist nightmare.

On ops question, I would have thought the gym business etc would be in the same boat - and a multi billion industry is not going want to hang about, they will press for asap

The feeling is that we are more in line with Germany’s curve, because we are not testing low risk people - only the vulnerable. They have compared the German testing figures for their vulnerable population & it’s similar to ours. Difference is they are testing low risk people who don’t have it, or have had it with minimal issues, so their overall rate looks lower.

I know quite a few people now who have had it & recovered easily. People who have simply self treated at home are not being included in any stats, but the recovery rate would seem to be vast compared to the death rate.

It seems like 6 months is the general prognosis for us to get back to a functioning society again, but that is very much a changeable goal which the next few weeks will guide us on!
