Player vaccinations in the EFL.

[Filo]

I had to explain to one of my colleagues the other day how totally counter intuitive it was to work from home, which they were doing, and then go out to the local boozer every night. He just did not get it.
This is what we are up against.

People are thick, last night I had a customer that wasn’t keen on wearing a mask, he did eventually when I pointed out to him he had a three mile walk if he didn’t put a mask on, he then went on to say that tonight he will be at a party with about 40 other people who won’t be wearing masks and then said what is the difference, I said you are in a car with me in a confined space, I’m wearing a mask to help protect you, I expect the same consideration back, I couldn’t give a shit what he does tonight, and if he gets covid through his brainless attitude he desrves it

So your jabs don't work and you'll have to mask up for the rest of your life.

Each to their own but I can't live like that.

I’d rather take advice from the experts than a conspiricy theorist, if you don’t mind

If you are afforded the luxury of working from home, in order to suppress the spread of this virus, then why would you go to the pub? Where there are little or no measures in place to prevent infection.
I would advise giving it a miss for now. Certainly up to and including Xmas.
The bloke has a family he lives with and friends that he had planned to come and spend Xmas with him.
It was not until I pointed out that if he caught it, he would have to isolate and his Xmas plans would be up the spout.
Only then did the penny drop.

Looking at the various news threads and the story in London that a major incident has been declared today,  it’s looking highly likely that a two week lockdown will be imposed after Xmas. Possibly even before. So all this will be immaterial.

Not a chance before, the idiot in No. 10 will not have that

That could be the final nail in his coffin.

Nudga - what exactly is the “work”’of a jab?
Just wondering.

I'm wondering too, because up to now, I can't see evidence of them doing anything; and yes, I've had mine, for what f*cking good they are.

[BVB]

You had covid then Scawsby?
Serious q.

[scawsby steve]

I reckon I had it early on, before tests were being done, but obviously I can't be sure. All the household seemed to have it a couple of months ago. I did a LFT, and it was negative, but apparently they're not reliable.

Put it this way, all of us have lost most of our sense of smell since. I can't see flu doing that.

[BVB]

That’s a long time to have no smell - could be long covid then?
I had a couple of mates who were well rough with persistent hacking cough back end of 2019 - I reckon covid was in the country weeks before officialdom said it was.

LFTs apparently can give unreliable results when compared to PCR - I got rough after my booster 3 weeks ago - done 6 LFT’s since all negative, and got a PCR to do now to see if there’s a difference.
Could just be a coincidental cold, but can’t take anything for granted. If the PCR comes back positive then should I be annoyed that jabs didn’t stop it or pleased that jabs mean I didn’t get it worse than I otherwise would have.
Hard to tell.
Anyway, hope you and your folks get your sense of smell back soon.
Cheers

The f**king good they are is that they reduced the number of people killed per 1000 positive tests from about 25 to about 4. They reduced the number of hospital admissions per 1000 positive tests from about 80 to about 15.

The problems now are that over 6 months or so, the vaccines lose effect, and we have a new variant that can exploit that.

The vaccines aren't, and never were silver bullets. They just stack the odds massively in your favour.

Your take is like saying some people die in car crashes even though they are wearing seat belts, so what f**king good are seat belts?

Going back to the OP, why should footballers be an example of normal people? They're generally as thick as pig shit.

You have a point.
And if they follow the likes of June Slater on fb, they are fecked.

[roverstillidie91]

In the Bundesliga more than 90%, Italy approximatly 98% and Spain under 1 in 10 according to Talksport.

70 non-vaccinated/30 vaccinated ratio in DRI and Bassetlaw as well takin up very important ICU beds.

And you guessed it no postponements.

The only way out of this is the vaccine if not we will just keep hopping in and out of restrictions all the time.
