But I do think this highlights one of the mistakes of communications in that the event is outdoors. Its indoors where its pretty much all the risks are. Sounds like it’ll be hardly worth going to if no booze 🥃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterion Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) 34 minutes ago, JamesM48 said: It all depends on how one interprets and reacts to figures . We have been in level 2 for over 3 weeks now . On May 18th we had 0 deaths , 4 in ICU and 70 in hospital. Today 3 weeks on we have 0 deaths , 12 in ICU and 121 in hospital . This is not an alarming rise I would suggest . However others may view a “ 200% “ rise in ICU as “worrying “ and the “ apocalypse “ but when you see it as the figure 12 one May view it with less alarm . Perspectives and all . Interpretation is everything - can't just be dismissive though. There is a slow creep up in hospital admissions which was similar to the October lockdown, difference now is many people with vaccines so long may it continue.* *edited - realise this didn't sound right. long may vaccines and slow hospital numbers continue.

Boab Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Seriously though, where is the enjoyment of going to a game where you can be asked to be there 2 and half hours before kick off, avoid contact with fellow fans and, I imagine, waiting for your allocated leaving time ? Could be a 5 hour time in the ground ? Meanwhile your mates could be pissing it up before, during and after in the garden as we’ll be doing. I get staunch fans want to be there but, like holidays at the minute, it’s meant to be enjoyable, not a royal pain in the arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJGJ Posted June 8, 2021 Author Share Posted June 8, 2021 Not long until we see about fans attending Tynecastle for the Premier Sports League Cup Tuesday 15th July and Sunday 25th July are our 2 home ties Given what has been said this week with a fan park allowing 6000 people to mix and mingle with no proof of testing and given fans can attend Hampden...approx 25% of capacity with conditions (and frankly they don't know what they are doing by treating them in a different fashion) it will be interesting to see what excuse will be used next We're all aware things change though our government seems reluctant to simply spell this out at times (trust us we will understand FM) the need for a decision gets closer and closer......just don't invent comparisons or reasons to avoid fans returning.......look to help rather than hinder even if means testing or proof of vaccine before 'going to the match' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure we've learned our lesson on that one even now. That’s never made any sense from Day1. Country in full lockdown. You can’t leave your house except to get supplies or excercise. Virtually everything else is illegal. Yet you could come and go freely from any country in the world for the first 3 months. Surely the first thing an ‘island’ should do to protect itself. Should have been a complete ban from the start with a 2 week window to repatriate only. Edited June 8, 2021 by JimmyCant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Салатные палочки Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Anyone attending the game at Wembley on Sunday will need to have had either both of their covid vaccinations or provide a negative PCR test. I'm sure they said a while back that even with both covid vaccines you could still contract the virus. So if you turn up with proof you have had both vaccines, you get immediate access to the ground despite the possibility that you may have the virus. Alternatively, you have had both vaccines but have the virus and your PCR test shows positive - no entry. Or you have had no vaccines but you have a clear PCR test - entry.

Victorian Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 11 hours ago, Salad Fingers said: Absolutely incredible that any parent would consider a covid vaccination on any healthy, happy child under twelve. I think take up will be slow and maybe only a bit over 50% overall. It depends on how they look at it. Some may well take a wider view that maximum vaccine coverage and population immunity will yield a variety of benefits to the child. Less chance of further covid related disruption to education and societal activities, etc. Basically that the quicker we can finally escape from covid, the better it will be for everyone, which keeps the child healthy and happy. Some wont bother with any of that and look only at their child as a stand-alone person who neither affects anyone else or is affected by anyone else.
