' Reportedly, new rules to reduce the spread of coronavirus during running races have been released by England Athletics. Members of the British Milers Club have been advised by the national organising body that men’s 5K races will be allowed to go ahead, but female races won’t be, as slower race times mean runners will be in contact for too long. '

This is some next level mental gymnastics.

Hopefully the male runners will boycott racing in support of the banned female runners... cue crickets ...

There was an article on the radio recently that said barbers have been allowed to open and can offer services shaving men's faces, but beauticians are not allowed to offer face-based services...

Women are of course less likely to die from this disease and more likely to comply with measures to mitigate the spread.

But you know, we're women, so we can't have nice things.
