A virologist on BBC: "The chances of you standing in a gym next to someone who has #coronavirus is now 1 in 2,000 or 2,500, so its a very slim chance."

"Slim chance"?

If 2m people who go to the gym in a week, 1,000 will have COVID.

It only took 1,356 to spark the UK .pandemic.
For those asking, the virologist was @DrChrisSmith, aka The Naked Scientist.

He is based at Cambridge University and does the
@NakedScientists podcast for the BBC.

He interviewed by an excellent @ritula on @BBCRadio4 last night. Listen at 9m50sec. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
"Do you think it is too soon to be opening gyms?" @IndependentSage's @zachking asks Professor @chrischirp.

“Yes. It clearly is,” she replies without hesitation.

This differs from @OliverDowden who says: “At last we can all get down the gym... and burn off Rishi’s meal deal.”
