Ramism Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 No fans at Touring Cars and British Superbikes this and next weekend. That’s outside and easy to distance oneself. Can’t see footy having fans anytime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean this one that the BBC quoted from on 17th July when he talked about HOPE and POSSIBLY in time for Christmas? Mr Johnson added he was "hoping for the best and planning for the worst". At a news conference at Downing Street, the prime minister said the plan "remains conditional" on continued progress in controlling the virus and preventing a second wave of infections that could overwhelm the NHS. "It is my strong and sincere hope that we will be able to review the outstanding restrictions and allow a more significant return to normality from November at the earliest - possibly in time for Christmas," he said.

Not the right thread to discuss further, but should not be implying this at all. It was never going to happen and find me a scientist that backed this ‘hope’ at any time ?

He was simply expressing a hope and possibly by Christmas. I don’t particularly like the man but you don’t have to find an excuse to misquote/twist his words to have a go at him. He creates enough genuine opportunities of his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, should we ask Keogh to come back ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EraniosSocks Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 To be fair, looking at the pub scenario - with the spike of cases slowly creeping up, I won’t be going to the ground as soon as it opens back up to fans, unless there is a vaccine. I’ll personally wait a month or so, just to see if there has been a rise of cases due to the influx of people attending at PP. I think I’ll feel like a 4 year old again smelling that turf and just in awe of live football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's inevitable. People are going to catch it again. The only way we will build up an immunity to it as by getting it and considering you can have it and not even know I'd wager that there is a lot of people out there who have had it during lockdown and been completely unaware and now have built up an immunity to it. There won't be a vaccine for it. The last 3 bad viruses we have had SARS etc. We have not had managed to get a vaccine for. We can't keep stopping as soon as we see a spike. Because if we do the country will fall apart It was this herd immunity theory that got us into the mess we are in now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying that even though our government are ploughing millions (maybe billions) into finding a vaccine and even though they are handing large sums of money to large pharmaceutical companies that a vaccine may never really be found?

I think one issue is that they are developing a vaccine to the COVID-19 strain. There is already evidence that the virus is mutating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atherstoneram Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Since lockdown restrictions have been lifted and pubs reopened we are seeing everyday reports in the media of people not social distancing or wearing face masks, you see people packed together on crowded beaches, they are just not getting the government guidance as to why they need to social distance etc. as they think the virus has miraculously vanished. While ever this mentality is taking place some sort of lockdown will be re-introduced and sports stadia of any sort will remain closed to the public Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
