hard to see how elite sport, construction and manufacturing are considered essential?

Someone has obviously concluded, for whatever reason that they are. Working outdoors maybe?

Infection rates are probably extremely low in these environments, especially construction which is mainly outside.

Most food/commodity manufacturers in the UK are FMG and it would be bedlam at supermarkets with empty shelves if these manufacturers were to shut.

Elite sport is outdoors, highly tested and I assume they’ve taken the decision that it gives us something to look forward to. I’m personally happier to have a couple of games a week to look forward to than not.

Apologies if already posted.

Elite sport is essential for the mental health and well being of the country it will only cost you £14.99 for that good mental health!

woke up this morning with a temperature , thought i was just suffering the morning sweats, got to work at 4, didn't go through security because i was sweating a lot, and I'm not a sweaty person, met my boss to explain the situation (at a distance), he's booked me off on holiday for 2 days at the moment, came home and booked my covid test , 930am at Wythenshawe , fingers crossed its just a bit of a cold.

I agree.

I was very pissed off on Friday evening (work related) and took me a long time to switch off, didn't sleep well either. It wasn't until the City game at noon where all of a sudden I forgot about my worries and enjoyed the game along with the rugby. F1 was a great spectacle as well yesterday and felt great. It allowed my mind to focus elsewhere and didn't think about work for most of the weekend. Going to the gym helped as well.

I am personally glad sport is continuing and couldn't face going back to no sport and repeats of "classic" matches.

Why did you go out with a temperature? why not just ring?

I'm unsure why they need to stop golf, yet allow for 2 people to exercise outdoors for other activities.

Yes they need to close the clubhouse, shop, etc, but the courses should be kept open for a two ball.

It's been one of the only things to look forward to over the past 5 months. Such a good sport for mental health and exercise.

Won't be long before schools are shut. The virus kicked off again when they went back. We pick our Grandson up occasionally and the school approach is rammed with parents even though they are supposed to have staggered finishing times. Then when we walk through town the big kids are let out and you can't walk down the street with hundreds of kids not giving a f..k about social distancing. Crazy.
