No this guy was saying within a couple of weeks after the restrictions were lifted so we're into our fourth week although as you say winter will be the test.

"There were no positive tests amongst 1,174 close contacts of asymptomatic cases".

 

There were no symptomatic cases in the 10,000,000 either. Strange sample group

 

Well most EFL teams have played 4 games now including the cup.

Genuine question as I don't pay attention to the figures, has there been a big increase in cases?

 

What makes me sad is when you walk around and you a lot of older folks wearing masks and a lot of younger folks can't be bothered but it's the older people at risk

Also the younger people not wearing masks are less likely to know if they even have the virus which makes it even worse while the older people probably don't have it as they tend to get it worse

The most tragic thing is those younger people if you put them face to face with someone who got covid really bad would be gutted but they'll never know they caused the illnesses I guess

 

Yes fair play I accept your point it was a generalisation from what I saw around me today rather than football

Certainly I didn't see anyone wearing a mask during the game although I saw a few in the concourses before and after

By younger people believe it or not I am including 40 year olds because I see an awful lot not wearing any masks

My point about it being sad and tragic is that it should surely be the other way round if you're more likely to be assymptomatic then you should be more likely to wear a mask if you're less likely to be assymptomatic then maybe less cause to wear a mask

To be honest just thinking out loud

 

I don't think I've seen 1 person wearing a mask in.tge first 2 games

 

The government benches at Westminster had about 5 masks from the hundreds there.

If they don't bother and are seen on TV then no one will.

I haven't worn a mask for a month myself and I doubt me wearing one when everyone else isn't at City would make any difference at all.

 

With the driving round Bradford there is more danger driving to the game and crossing the street than there is in not wearing a mask.

 

So, not wearing a mask reduces your chances of being run over?

 

Most of the labour mob did, virtue signalling as usual...

 

No problem, I hope it gives you the confidence to attend safely and witness this team. Our performance on Tuesday was as good as it has been I would say since the season we made the play off final. Granted that's not much to shout about as the following season were dire, but I don't want to jump to gun and suggest we will be going up with the Christmas decorations.

 

Its a very difficult situation we are in at the moment, Wear a mask, or not wear a mask! whilst attending the match I wore one on Saturday, I'll admit I hate them as I am asthmatic, which isn't good, also my glasses steam up all the time.I must admit I felt safer wearing one during the match, purely because my friend sat next to me was adamant about wearing one. Not sure about the next home match, I will assess the situation, but I am 76 so I will see have to see

 

Thing is though.... the Govt don't really need any help in looking stupid.

 

Both sides of the political divide would agree to that, but we have nowhere else to turn...

 

I'm on a planet where the current Labour leader is a figurehead and the real power lies with those shady people in the background like McDonnell & Co. Guarantee you when they lose the next election Starmer will be meat paste and replaced by Andy Burnham.

Blair and Starmer are poles apart. Blair achieved things and (admittedly using the work of the late John Smith) made them electable. Sadly, Sir (I'm named after Keir Hardy) Starmer looks increasingly like a desperate man paddling away in a sea of treacle.

A strong leader would have been able to crucify Johnson over the last two years, but Starmer has pissed his chance up the wall, and a recovering economy will only strengthen the hand of this pretty inept government.

 

Most people just wear them cheap blue ones, can’t comment on the success rate of them cutting transmission but they look about as effective as a sheet of toilet roll. That’s mainly what I see, or no mask at all.

 

Long term no, if used properly as they should be disposed of after every time you wear them

 

Some days I can go through a dozen

 

Cases are now rising fast and it’s summer won’t be long before some restrictions are reintroduced
