Most liked posts in thread: Covid & Face Masks at VP

Another lockdown will lead to civil unrest. I know quite a few who are vaccinated that are fed up with being told you can't do this and can't do even though they have followed guidelines.

 

Not all deaths announced die that day. Many of those will have died on Sunday when only 40 were announced.

 

Krankie is on a power trip, thats why they had daft rules like you have to wear a mask at a wedding ceremony but not at a reception, and you can't drink standing up.

I think the return to normal makes it almost impossible to go back now. Unless something catastrophic happens people won't comply.

The people happy with lockdowns and constantly being scared by figures aren't the ones you need to convince as they will comply regardless. You tell someone who is currently travelling the country to every game their team plays they can't go when they see the risk is minimal and they will this time push back as they don't see the risk to themselves as High enough to justify it.

 

I’m sure you’re right, I know I feel a bit like that. Was just stating a few facts.

 

I imagine it's difficult to properly represent the figures though.

For instance, my dad was taken in with covid but already had very high blood pressure. Whilst he was fighting the Covid he then had multiple strokes due to blood clots that the doctor said could have happened at any time.

The point is, that there was more than one reason (one being covid) on the death certificate but potentially just one or possibly all of them combined were the actual cause of death.

 

I've said from the start we should have tested everyone on entry to hospital and isolated them until the test came back, then transferred all covid positive people to special hospitals.

I guess that's a perfect world scenario and we don't live in a perfect world.

 

Perfect to stop my next door neighbours four cats crapping in my garden !!

 

Only 4?... my feckin neighbour has 8 of the feckin little shit machines.

 

I'll be wearing one. Just done my LF test and got a negative, so good to go !!!

 

Advisory in concourse area if not drinking and visits to the loo, however, they will not be enforcing it.

pointless wearing one when drinking

 

We probably have to learn to live with Covid, BUT, after seeing the irresponsible way in which people interacted yesterday, I’m in agreement with you on this regarding the spread. Millions of people going toe to toe at football games with no thought or care. You would have thought looking round yesterday (and it was probably the same at every other game), that Covid never existed. I’m expecting a massive spike not too far down the line.

 

Well I’ve now decided not to. I’ll pay my tenner on iFollow and watch it from the safety of my house.

You're almost making out like there should be no nuance or proportionality about this though.

Just becomes something reduces risk for others from what is a small percentage risk by another, unspecified, marginal factor doesn't mean it has to be done. We don't have to completely eradicate risk as long as everyone knows what they're getting themselves into. That's especially true when the other person isn't completely eradicating their own risk anyway....in this instance by putting themselves into a large group of people, travelling, etc, etc.

 

If it helps in any way, I can categorically assure you that asymptomatic infection is not a driver of epidemics. Well people that do not have symptoms cannot be infectious. Even if they could be infectious, a mask will not protect you.

Anyway, great to be back at a rocking VP yesterday. The fans were great, certainly in the NW Corner where we are.

Football wise, I thought Evans did well in the middle but our lack of composure in rare periods of possession was concerning. I liked the look of Angol although there were elements of luck and generous goalkeeping about his goals.

Can't wait to see Songo'o start. We really have missed someone like him for a very long time.
