Pasquale for King Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 26 minutes ago, Francis Albert said: Football First posted on 14th February NRS stats showing weekly deaths from Influenza and pneumonia of 1121 on the "mentioned on the death certificate" definition and 237 as due to underlying conditions. The equivalent numbers for Covid were 400 and 308. The method of transmission is similar for both classes of disease. So i conclude that my chances of dying by catching Covid at a football match are less than or at any rate not hugely different from my chances of dying from flu and pneumonia at a football match, especially given that I have been vaccinated for Covid not flu. Of course that may change but at present there seems no good rationale for Covid vaccination ceritificates or testing requirements specifically. The U.K. average 30k deaths of Flu a year, less the last year compared to 150k Covid deaths. https://www.ons.gov.uk/releases/deathsduetocovid19comparedwithdeathsfrominfluenzaandpneumonia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The virus has killed all ages of people, healthy or with underlying conditions. I think you would fit in well on the corona thread. I would go and do some homework if I were you. https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/can-you-spread-covid-after-receiving-vaccine/2478894/ The whole point of a vaccine is that you could French kiss the person next to you and wouldn't catch it. Once almost everyone has had the 2nd dose this thing can fk off to the history books. It will still be here but a low level and I expect to receive boosters throughout the 20s.

The time has come to be vaccinated and live with the reduced risk. Of course still be careful when you can and wash surfaces etc. But open everything up especially outside or open air thngs. People can still choose to isolated at anytime if they wish,and probably should if they have symptoms.

Not being flippant at all. But is it likely that a significant number of the people who have died after a positive covid test may have died of flu during the same period if covid hadn't been around ? Anyway I'll be going back at the first opportunity. When you're young a couple of years out of your life isn't such a big deal. When you're counting down the years it's a lot more significant when you're missing out on stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hashimoto Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 The majority of these latest posts belong to the pages of The Lancet. Interesting someone pointed out earlier that those who bought or renewed their ST's for the 20/21 season will have access to a limited number of games at the start of the new Premiership season. Now that scenario clearly limits what the club can put on sale until that commitment from Budge has been honoured. It therefore looks like September / October before a number of ST's can go up for sale. For example.....I have my ST for 20/21...I took up the offer to watch the home games on Hearts TV. However, I remain in credit. As such, I don't expect Ann Budge, or who ever is in charge to come knocking at my door for more ST money until that credit has run out! However, if a new manager was to be in-situ before the credit ran out I would be more than happy to forego those credits and reinvest in a new ST for the 21/22 season.

If (and I accept it is an if) rates of death or serious illness continue at around current levels then the risks of Covid will be about the same or lower than an average winter's seasonal flu risks. Why has proof of vaccination or tests for flu never been even thought of for football grounds. Not even when people crammed into grounds at several multiples of today's densities.

As someone who has had there 1st jab (2nd jab around May/June) I feel a bit more confident about my own personal circumstances. Would it put me off renewing my ST? Probably not. However, on site testing and providing proof and a negative result is a very emotive subject. To stay on thread.....ST's are already an expensive commodity. Having to cough up (excuse pun!) additional COVID testing funds just to get into the ground is a step too far I'm afraid. It will, if implemented force people away from attending home games I with this. Had my vaccination; accept that I may catch it but chances are greatly reduced, as is the likelihood of me and most importantly anyone catching it from me who has been vaccinated, ending up in hospital. By the season start all adults will have been offered the vaccinated. If full crowds are permitted would I go? Subject to the price of ST renewal, most probably. Would I support admission being restricted to those adults with proof of vaccination? Yes. Would I renew my season ticket, or come to it attend any matches at all, if I had to get and pay for a covid test before each game? Not a cats chance in hell.

Neilson Out Here's an extract from the club statement dated 15th May. The way I read this is that the value of the remainder of home games will be credited by way of a discount on the season ticket price for season 2021/2022 with those opting not to renew being given tickets (subject to availability, hence potentially an issue for certain matches e.g. Hibs, Celtic, Rangers). I think it is 4 games that'll be carried over from the so-called '18 home game guarantee'. So, methinks we will indeed be approached to buy 21/22 season tickets but at a 4 game 'discount' rather than everyone using up their 'credits' prior to STs being made available. It's going to be a bit of a difficult sell regardless given the number of folks who paid for multiple season tickets this year and got the same streaming offer as did I. Not to mention the discrepancy between Premium ST price and e.g. Bronze ST price for the very same 'product'. For sure, that was one heck of an expensive stream this season! I suspect I'm not alone in thinking that the stream was a pretty poor return for the cost of a premium season ticket (or a bronze one for that matter). "If season 20/21 cannot offer supporters access to a full complement of 18 home games then fans who renew their season ticket for the following season will be credited with the value of the outstanding number of matches for season 21/22. Those who chose not to renew their season ticket will be offered the relevant number of match tickets for season 21/22. These tickets will be subject to availability."

For example on condition that there is no guarantee of access to games where access is restricted for reasons beyond the club's control but there where possible will be a ballot for restricted access among ST holders. And the club will use best/reasonable endeavours to provide a stream like this years. Take up? No idea but 8000 FOH members have paid over £11m for less, And of course when we romp to the title next season and qualify for the CL there will be a guaranteed seat for games in 2022/23. Wild optimisism is the only way to survive 60 odd years as a Hearts fan. BTW this years streaming service would have been much better value with fewer games. The first and latest league games only for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy the atmosphere, and seeing friends, family at the football. So the idea of sitting in a sparse Tynecastle with only 4-5K fans all sat apart from each other, no singing, shouting and masks on etc; just doesn’t appeal to me. By next season people will be allowed in each others houses so would rather watch with group of mates/family in the house. No real need to spend c.£400 on season ticket.

Why has proof of vaccination or tests for flu never been even thought of for football grounds. Not even when people crammed into grounds at several multiples of today's densities. Budge has said you will need to be tested to get in, email her and ask why she feels it’s necessary. I will be vaccinated anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But is it likely that a significant number of the people who have died after a positive covid test may have died of flu during the same period if covid hadn't been around ? Anyway I'll be going back at the first opportunity. When you're young a couple of years out of your life isn't such a big deal. When you're counting down the years it's a lot more significant when you're missing out on stuff. Unlikely as they would’ve had a flu jag.

Pasquale for King Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 12 hours ago, Hashimoto said: The majority of these latest posts belong to the pages of The Lancet. Interesting someone pointed out earlier that those who bought or renewed their ST's for the 20/21 season will have access to a limited number of games at the start of the new Premiership season. Now that scenario clearly limits what the club can put on sale until that commitment from Budge has been honoured. It therefore looks like September / October before a number of ST's can go up for sale. For example.....I have my ST for 20/21...I took up the offer to watch the home games on Hearts TV. However, I remain in credit. As such, I don't expect Ann Budge, or who ever is in charge to come knocking at my door for more ST money until that credit has run out! However, if a new manager was to be in-situ before the credit ran out I would be more than happy to forego those credits and reinvest in a new ST for the 21/22 season. Neilson Out You only get those four games if you buy a ST for next season so they will need to be on sale before the season starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may still be the case that when the season starts it will still be with no fans, or very little fans. I suspect restricted fans could be the case for the whole season. As to how restricted, I don’t know. I fear it may be the case that we can’t sell season tickets at all (and if we do, there will be reduced interest of you have to pay for a test every game), and our four games will be allocated, in accordance with restrictions, with a small amount of ‘walk ups’. It is not what I think should happen, but it is a concern of mine. I also suspect any credit will be for Category B games, since we effectively haven’t had any A games. The four games cost will be deducted off next seasons ST, if you don’t buy one you don’t get anything.
