Not really important..I know but just wandering if under the new gathering law, do you think the above will be effected by this? Or because it’s a paid for service, do you think they’ll keep them going for economical reasons?

Apparently slimming world have been putting out messages that they’re going ahead.

Basically, if you pay to do something with strangers, it’ll go ahead. If you want to meet six people you know, you can’t.

Slimming world are definitely staying open - because they’re a business not a gathering and everyone should be 2m apart, masked, hand sanitised etc...

Don’t know about gyms, don’t go to them, lol

Sorry forgot to finish..! I think it’s stupid we can be in a hall with strangers but can’t meet friends/family in our garden x

it may seem ridiculous but if we are to keep the situation under control we can only 'afford' to have a certain amount of transmission occurring so we have to prioritise, we have to think about what's most important for the long-term well-being of everyone, unfortunately this leads to situations which feel very unfair:(

Yes I agree with what your saying! I just hope everyone I know sticks to the new rules!

It's so difficult because everyone is stressed and upset which makes it harder to process, not to mention the mixed messages from the government, over time we will learn and we will get to grips with it, collaborate with other countries
This is a massive problem for the whole world, that's a terrible thing
But it's also good thing because it means that it's in the interest of everyone to collaborate, the world has a common and immediate purpose.
There is a way through and we will find it.
