How many got sick and how many passed it on to someone else?

So covid has been twice as bad as a “ bad flu season” despite lockdowns and vastly reduced social contact. Good to know.

Have you forgotten this is a football forum, and lo and behold people might actually care about being able to go and watch football (properly) again? You sanctimonious prick.

June 22nd, England vs Czech Republic, could be a must win game and it’s only 25% capacity, a full month after the “trial” FA cup final. Tell me more about us not being able to let the Dutch over to help us fill Wembley for an England game or whatever bollocks it is you’ll come out with next. It’s not a rule that we have to let other countries fans come over to watch their team play, the FA would be chomping at the bit to sell those tickets to English fans to pack out Wembley regardless of who is playing. Social distancing is not going anywhere this year which means we aren’t “opening everything up” as you keep saying.

You’re deluded. 50% full stadiums in July for the Euros. Festivals cancelling left right and centre. It. Is. Not. Happening. This. Year

Doesn’t really explain why social distancing is still going to be in place after 21st June

Yeah Boris needs to send SAGE packing. The epidemic has been over for weeks in this country, covid is endemic now and we need to learn to live with it. We can’t keep social distancing measures late into the summer just in case a variant comes along that gets round the vaccines, or we’ll be permanently in limbo playing cat and mouse with boosters and lockdowns.

What happened to going back to normal on the 21st June 😆

So you’re happy to have masks and social distancing in this country for another 5 years? Heads gone.

Plenty on this forum happy for football to be a tv programme with a few “lucky”ones getting to go and watch each week.

Then surely the solution is pretty simple, if I need a ‘covid status certificate’ to go to certain places then everyone should need one just to enter this country, no ifs or buts. Carrying on with very much abnormal things like social distancing and masks because of unvaccinated tourists is crazy. Vaccines weren’t sold as a route to “close to normal” or even a new normal.

Most of the world aren’t going to be in Tesco Bursledon though are they? I think most would settle in the short term for a completely normal UK if it meant sacrificing travel to unvaccinated parts of the world. To have neither makes the vaccine rollout success a waste of time.

More “maybe next year” crumbs being dropped by SAGE.

If the scientists have their way I think most of them would rather wait until the majority of the worlds population has been vaccinated before we get back to old normal*, which will be years from now. *even domestically. I think we’ll end up with a consistent level of “freedom” that will be tolerated by most but the idea of big events and packed out stadiums happening before next summer seems unlikely to me. Basically if your life before covid was to venture out for a meal or a couple of pints maybe once a month and holiday once a year in a package holiday Spanish shithole then life will feel fairly normal apart from having to show your vaccine papers. If you liked to enjoy life then you’ll be waiting a little bit longer.

There’s sure to be an element of under reporting due to the bank holiday, but it would definitely look like deaths will be into single figures soon. I’m not really sure how the government are going to justify the use of vaccine passports and keeping restrictions in place past June 21st if the next few months are going to see very low deaths and hospital admissions. The idea that the vaccine app is not going to be ready until the autumn is not good enough, by that stage the goalposts will have to move again because ‘we can’t risk letting it rip during autumn and winter’ Based on the crumbs they keep feeding us I can’t see a return to normal until next summer at the earliest. I’d love to be wrong, but the script hasn’t changed for the past year “just a few more months”.

Wake up saints ffs

Would be Saints all over to concede a late equaliser. We need a fourth.

Not quite sure how we went 2-0 down against this lot, they are dreadful.

Redmond showing off his world class range of passing again 😐

Great save from Pope there

Do Burnley do anything else apart from play for a free kick every time they get possession? Pathetic team.

The more apple products you own the worse the side effects are.

Even Whitty has finally put a number on it and is saying c25,000 deaths per year could be the level we accept as normal. Yet the hysterical mob will put pressure on the government to go back into strict lockdowns at the first sign of trouble.
