Quarantined and Bored
Okay, so, it has been over five weeks of no boxing gym, and that also means over five weeks without sparring.
With no boxing going on, i have nothing to talk about. Therefore, I am going to use this month's entry to discuss something other than boxing. I couldn't let a month go by without an entry.
I would like to discuss the whole reason for why this is no boxing or any other sport.
I realize most are sick and freaking tired of hearing about this whole COVID-19 crap, as am I.
Allow me, if you will, to shed some light onto this subject.
this thing has had a very negative affect on the economy. It is said that in Toronto alone, over 375,000 have lost their jobs, not to mention the numerous businesses that had to close and will not re-open.
My feeling on this is that, technically, there was no reason for anything to have to close.
The reason this had to be done is because people were not, and still are not doing what they have been asked to do.
You can have restaraunts open, but just have the tables further apart.
The boxing gym can still be open, we just have to practice distancing. Sparring would be out, then again, you could have two guys standing apart and just practicing, although it would obviously have to be non-contact, but it is still practice.
Some countries have avoided the virus and ddin't have to quaranitine anything, so there is no reason we can't.
Our politicians are doing the best they can despite this is something they have never experienced before, but we need to get moving. We can not afford for people to be out of work for too long.
That is all I am going to say about this.
Hopefully, the next time I write something here it is about boxing.
