    We will have to agree to disagree. Time to open up the economy now and start to live with this. We aren't going to eradicate it do cant put the world on hold forever. We lived through the blitz (or at least @Bronco@Bronco did) so we have to live through this.

    Soz broncs, only joking. I know you are a post war baby boomer really.

    I've taken a very cautious approach to this virus, but I also have to disagree as well.

    Firstly, it is unlikely we will ever become 100% COVID secure. However, there is growing evidence that, for a fully vaccinated person, the risk is very low, and quite possibly even lower than the risk from flu.

    Yes, there will always be a risk of a new more dangerous variant coming along, which is good reason to ensure that everyone around the world is offered the vaccine as soon as possible, thereby reducing the number of variants that occur.

    A lot of people have died from this virus and the threat has been very real. However, we now have a clear way out and we need to continue our return to normality. Yes, we need to move forwards cautiously at first (and that's what we are doing in the UK), and there is definitely a lot of confidence building to do across many parts of society, but I do think we can look forward to returning to Valley Parade in August.

    Public Health England figures suggest that 22,000 people died from flu in England alone in 2018. Current rates of death from covid suggest 5,000 in the next year with SAGE'S worst case modelling suggesting 16,600.

    Would flu stop us from attending matches ? No, course it wouldn't.

    We have to stop running scared of covid, take reasonable precautions, and get on with life or we will end up with suicide deaths exceeding covid deaths.

    I posted weeks ago I'm fully jabbed up and ready to go if the government allow fans back in to grounds in any decent numbers, the ones who feel vulnerable need to stay away and allow others to make their own lifestyle decisions.

    Quite right. This will be a cyclical, endemic virus which will be with us forever and for which there are clearly going to be a continual string of variants. If we refuse to live 'normally' on the basis that a 'variant might become dangerous and evade the vaccine', we'll never get back to normal. Literally. Some people are incapable of escaping this grip of fear that's been enforced.

    The cure will end up being worse than the illness. The doom mongering predictions of SAGE haven't played out, and given the success of the vaccine programme, we need to crack on and take action by exception, rather than pre-empting doomsday assumptions for every new variant. And talk now that even if you're vaccinated you'll need to self isolate when instructed? They can get knotted.

    I'm fully jabbed up from Sunday. Bring on normality and, sorry, but if you've been offered a jab but not taken it, you can sod off with calls to isolate etc.

    Knowing Ryan likes promoting the club via video I would have thought there would have been a drone video of the new dug outs, new seating and the work being done on the pitch etc.

    He has tweeted a few thinks regards updates lately . Nothing on the dugouts that I’ve seen as yet . He mentioned that the jct600 stand seats will be renewed first before moving around to the kop
