And we have 28000 people going to PR Saturday. Incredibly bad management by the government again.
Super spreader event this weekend for all of football. |  |

I agree it looks likely we all might get a dose but with Christmas coming and with all my family being constantly close to me it is is with deep regret i have decided to bin off The Downsetters final ever gig on Saturday night. |
Just heard it’s going ahead as planned, but with the game during the day, then going onto the gig via pubs, I’m thinking the same. Might be the match that gets the elbow though! |  | | |

It may be taken out of our hands of course too.
7 games off in the EFL already

It occurred to me a few days ago that if Omicron really took off as seems to be happening, we could actually end up with the entire season going west. |  |

SB, why do you think it’s so bad in this country compared to the rest of Europe to the extent that France is yet again (and rightly) trying to wall up the leper colony that is England?? Are their border controls better? Is it that they enforce rules whereas here nobody cares? We know track and trace was just a nonsense to line a few peoples pockets - what to other countries do that’s better?
I’m interested in your take on it because I am struggling to understand how in the space of two weeks or so we cave over 10,0000 cases and France 100. |
Apols for jumping in here, but every tweet I read from ex-pats in France (self-selecting feedback group I know) reports that masking up & distancing are at 99% level even when walking along streets outdoors. | |

Regarding the comments about it doesn't seem so bad in South Africa, Whitty said this yesterday:
On the data coming out of South Africa, Whitty said: “The first caution on this is simply a numerical one — if the rate of hospitalisation were to halve but you’re doubling every two days, in two days you’re back to where you were before you actually had the hospitalisation.
“If the peak of this is twice as great, then halving of the size of the hospitalisation rate, you still end up in the same place. And this peak is going very fast.”
He added: “The second point I wanted to make, which I’m not sure it’s fully been absorbed by everybody, is that the amount of immunity in South Africa for this wave — because of a prior Delta wave and vaccination — is far higher than it was for their last wave. And therefore the fact that there is a lower hospitalisation rate is unsurprising.”
Whitty added: “That doesn’t mean that there isn’t some degree of slightly milder disease, that is possible. But I just think there’s a danger people have over-interpreted this to say, this is not a problem and what are we worrying about?
“I want to be clear, I’m afraid this is going to be a problem. Exact proportions of it, of course, South African scientists and UK scientists and scientists globally are trying to determine at the moment.” |  | | |
