Coronavirus (2021) thread

[roubaixtuesday]

I think it's going to be at least a fortnight, and probably a month before there's clarity on whether there's a real problem with this variant or not.

Really feel for people whose livelihood depends on it and those suffering from the stress, anxiety and loneliness of it all.

So, you think that everyone being vaccinated is the answer? Do you believe the flu can be cured the same way? If so, I have news for you, it can't. I'll say again as you don't seem to get it, it will not go away, it will become endemic and we'll have to deal with it, I have had both my jabs and yet I know I'm not bulletproof, but life must go on.

Think of the irreperable damge done to children's lives, their education, their normal socialisation already. You pretend to care about others, but dismiss anyone that disagrees with your frankly jaundiced views as being 'namby pamby' and that we should be forced into further lockdowns and be dealt with via draconian methods.

Give your head a wobble, either learn to face life as it will be, or just stay in and avoid contact with others for the rest of your life, that is YOUR choice, don't force your views on others.

I fully realise that things wont be quite the same, I get it. These are just my views and I'm not forcing them on anyone anymore than you are forcing your views on me above ? That's what a public forum is about isn't it, or perhaps you think I should only be posting things that you agree with?

I face life as it is, but I was also brought up to know right from wrong and more importantly to be accountable for my own actions, many folk sadly are wired differently. Its frankly weird that the words namby pamby have clearly irked a few on here you included. I believe we do live in a namby pamby state where our government are far too worried about offending everyone and anyone at times and perhaps this attitude has resulted in the rules not being enforced and followed as well as they could be. There is a greater good to be considered here.

Finally thank you for the advice but my head doesn't need wobbling anymore than yours. Enjoy the match.

sorry but your comparison isn’t correct. Flu changes so much each year the it evades vaccines. So far, Covid hasn’t done that. So right now. Vaccination for all will in fact stop it entirely. But that’s globally vaccine for all. Not just UK.

It won't stop it entirely as we will not be even close to everyone being vaccinated. Partly down to social media (of all things) add to that the struggles certain countries are having and will continue to have in attempting to control it and we will see mutations. It really isn't going away, a little like the flu.

I accept the differences from flu, but I was using it as a reference point.

I'd suggest that bringing the army in to force people to comply with whatever the current government decides could be seen as forcing those views on others. As for this government making sensible, informed decisions, thats for another thread, another time.

We will have to agree to disagree, as you said, it's a forum.

Hope you too enjoy the game.

I will thank you. We are after all Champions. Gutted i missed out on tickets for last home game.

Its pretty clear everyone on this forum wants the same thing. We just differ as to our opinions as to how to get there. I except my views go further than some on here but i genuinely dont think they are that onerous. I would except them myself.


I sugested the Army could be used for knocking on doors and making sure people who tested positive self isolate. same as the police and council should be doing. Personally if we had to self isolate, and we have, i wouldnt have a problem with someone in authority checking i was doing so. But that was clearly too much for some on here.

GM Weekly Pop Data after today:~

Borough / Pop Today / 7 days ago / up or down wk to wk/ Testing is % of local population who have tested positive for Covid over past year.

As ever with Pop going up is bad, going down good - the higher the number the better or worse depending on direction moving. The Pop is total cases in past week versus 100,000 POPulation to even out the comparison versus size and expected cases based on numbers living there.

TODAYS DATA HEAVILY DISTORTED BY MOST POP SCORES GOING DOWN A LITTLE VIA MINUS CASE NUMBERS

Bolton 335/ 193 / UP 142 Testing positive 9.7%

Manchester 42 / 41 / DOWN 1 Testing positive 9.7%

Bury 36 / 20 / UP 16 Testing positive 9.1%

Rochdale 34 / 50 / DOWN 16 Testing positive 9.7%

Trafford 31 / 30 / UP 1 Testing positive 7.1%

Wigan 29 / 31 / DOWN 2 Testing positive 8.9%

Salford 24 / 29 / DOWN 5 Testing positive 9.1%

Stockport 23 / 31 / DOWN 8 Testing positive 7.2%

Tameside 20 / 33 DOWN 13 Testing positive 8.2

Oldham 16 / 28 DOWN 12 Testing positive 9.8%




Bolton still climbing with a big score even without whatever was taken off!

Trafford manage to still be heading up even on minus 2 cases!

Oldham easily best in GM well clear of the rest on just 16.

But these numbers will all likely readjust back up a bit in the 7 days ahead.



Remember going down in this table is good not bad!

What if you couldn’t afford to ?
