Media have scared people senseless. People think the virus will jump up behind them and kill them. Some are saying gyms opening in July, others saying closer to September. It’s all a complete mess and of course getting people on a badminton court isn’t the governments priority. It’s frustrating watching a lot of our European neighbours getting well ahead and it’s going to be a while yet here![]()
Are Badminton Academies or Sport complexes not opened yet? They are the chief source of court bookings here in India.
They were opened back on May 22 here but people have been gripped by the fear of
Coronawirus
so they are as empty as a desert on a hot scorching afternoon.
According to the Johns Hopkins database (https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html) there have been around 1,8k people in the UK tested positive only yesterday. And if the numbers were still at level here in Germany, there is no chance in hell that gyms would have been reopened already. Of course a place where people are sweating and breathing heavily in the same room has a significant potential of spreading the infection and starting new infection chains that endangers the rest of the community as well. And seriously, how important is our little hit-the-birdie game looking at the big picture? In my opinion, it's one of the least important things there are and it's not worth one single person infecting and dying with Covid-19.badminton clubs are considered by the government in the same breath as gyms and even churches. Most badminton facilities are in leisure centres which are closed. The government are paying 80% of staff wages, and when you consider that the staff are no longer having to pay transport to work as well as potential childcare, you can see other reasons why they wouldn’t want to come back to work. In fact, they’re probably financially better off right now, than they would be on 100% wage. So everyone just sits at home and makes claims that it is not safe to open things until there is 0 cases for over a week(!!!). Obviously things will be open before that point, but no one is in speeding up the process.
Given that the numbers in India are still on the rise and at around a staggering 10k per day, that's the only reasonable reaction and I highly admire the sense of responsibility shown by the Indian people by staying socially distant by their own decision.They were opened back on May 22 here but people have been gripped by the fear of

It's not about the virus completely disappearing - that is not a realistic option for many months or even years to come. And at least based on a quick google search, I haven't found any statement in that regard from any noteworthy member of the british government that they want to see literally zero cases before opening up the country again. The point is, that the number of active cases reaches a level at which the contact tracing and contact quaratining of each case can work to keep the spread under control. And please, let's not discuss mortality rates and high-risk groups. A principle of our society is that all lives matter the same so imo it's no discussion at all, that the younger generation brings sacrifices to protect the older generation to basically make them stay alive longer. "They will be dying soon anyways, so what does it matter?!" is a completely unacceptable and heartless position. And besides, there are still a number of young, fit and healthy people that were hit dramatically by the virus and have died. Statistically, it's not very likely, but does anyone really want to take chances when losing the bet can mean death? I don't, thank you.The mentality that until the virus is completely gone, no one should do anything fun.
Oh lord, some people still don't understand that the main tactic is to keep the infection numbers so low to not overload the health system. The lockdown is so drastic to even buffer all people away who don't accept any rules, which is due my observation a quite high number in my enviroment. I'm in my 30's and belong to the high risk group. I never thought I could. I think we should stop here and accept that there are bigger things outside than "I, joy, fun".
One unfounded theory amongst many that are circulating - fact is that nobody knows exactly what’s going to happen with vaccines. A handful of candidates are already in testing phase which I see as a positive sign. I’m an optimist, sorry, can’t help it.I think we should braid together what one would like to do with what is inevitable.
Vaccine won't erase the Pandemic

What about 5G and NWO? (joke)
Everything has been reopened here in Delhi. Some people will follow social distancing otherwise majority of the people are not really caring. It would be wise not to go to any badminton court as things are just getting started here. Some rough graph below.Are Badminton Academies or Sport complexes not opened yet?

Our current pandemic story might end with covid living happily together with us all similarily like we're living happily together with Influenza, HIV, Denggue and other type of RNA viruses that has no vaccine. Whether there is vaccine or not, that's something we just don't know yet similarly also like here in my country, I just don't know when the hell I can start play badminton indoor##@%&£
Peaceful protest is an illusionBadminton Enthusiasts can opt for peaceful protest to open Badminton courts. Ask the local authorities about the possibilities and scope of a peaceful protest.
