Coronavirus (2021) thread

Quite intrigued by the NFL approach to the coming season. Players aren’t being forced to be vaccinated, though they will face strict testing protocols, but all Tier 1 staff are expected to be vaccinated, unless they can demonstrate religious or medical reasons for not doing so. Vikings and Patriots have already parted ways with certain coaching staff.
In the NRL in Australia, St George sacked Paul Vaughan (a player) for hosting a party during restrictions. Not just a warning or fine, they sacked him!

They have made clubs stay in zones during periods of lockdown: so when New South Wales has been in lockdown, teams from that state have remained in South Queensland in hotels so they can play games. But a player took a prozzie back to his hotel one night and the Queensland minister is saying she’s going to revoke this allowance because she’s sick of them breaking the rules and games could end up being cancelled. The last straw for her has been her seeing families of players passing food to each other across balconies.

New Zealand Warriors from Auckland have based themselves in Australia throughout COVID, with both the Aus and NZ govts now allowing them to travel back to NZ (or Aussie teams over there) for home games.

They have also stopped Australia and New Zealand from competing in this year’s Rugby League World Cup (although some cynical Brits think it’s because the NRL don’t want isolation periods post-tournament to affect the start of their NRL season).

They are currently playing in front of empty stadiums n’all.

Makes a mockery of our Champions League and European Championships.
 
In FL at the minute and nary a mask in sight! A few very old people and staff in a few stores, but that was it! MAYBE 5% of the people we have seen.

Wife and I are both vaxxed, yet are employing the “mask on inside” protocol. She got the Pfizer and I got the J&J vaccine through work. Regardless, I got a Pfizer jab today, because they’re all waffling about “booster or no booster?” here, and I was vaxxed 6 months ago! I’m getting Jab #2 on 08/14. Already booked.

They were literally making calls over the PA at Walmart today imploring people to “get a free vaccine TODAY while you’re out shopping!”

There is zero doubt in my mind that I interact with multiple people per day who are infected, and I’ve seen too many scary, and sad, stories on TV to not be taking this seriously.

Doctor almost in tears on TV yesterday recounting patient interaction. Fella was about to be put on the ventilator (tube about to go down his throat) and he pleads “Doctor can you PLEASE give me the vaccine?” Doctor says he could only reply, “I’m sorry, it’s too late!”

It’s mind blowing to see how much anti-vax stuff has been spread, even on TV, and it is MAINLY Trumpers in the states who are extolling their “freedom.” When you tell them that Trump got the virus, was seriously ill in the hospital, they threw everything at him to get him back on his feet, THEN he and his whole family got vaxxed, they just look at you like they forgot why they were against it!

There is one person at work (female Captain) who is CONVINCED her son got autism from a vaccine and she “cured“ him using diet and exercise. She’s a big fan of Wakefield, the UK Doc who got struck off! You just have to shake your head and walk away.

Indeed, they are saying that if any UNVACCINATED players create a COVID OUTBREAK with their team, the team will forfeit the game and the players will NOT GET PAID!

Talk about cat amongst the pigeons?! The feathers will be flying if they go through with that!

First NFL player has already come out saying it might be time to leave the NFL…and he deleted the tweet within 24hrs!!! I’m trying to decide if it was his girlfriend, his Mum, his agent, or his Coach/Owner that had the word in his ear…but someone fixed that fool in a hurry!
 
She is the one that should be strung up, silly woman. The old saying "empty barrels make most sound" seems apt here. Things like this show that there are quite a few people out there who are total fucking idiots.
On the contrary. Our great nation should be proud that some poor powerless woman has the courage to stand and fight the health fascists who pretend that this so called virus is real. Deep down we all know that western governments are making their final push to take complete control of our lives. We must fight these bastards every inch of the way.
It is a relentless struggle as they ramp up their totalitarian efforts decade after decade. In the 1930s we saw the introduction of traffic lights. In the 1940s, a notorious minister with the entirely appropriate name of Hoare Bellisha introduced the zebra crossing with its mesmerising orange flashing lights, but we did not realize at the time that these beacons were brainwashing us. Then, after the war, the greatest hoax of all was perpetrated against us, the so called National Health service was introduced. Is everybody healthier? NO, but they have continued to pump our children full of poison with their appalling innoculation programs.
In the 1960s, they shut down half the railways to ensure we could not travel to protests and could not organize against them. In the 70s, the launch of Pelican crossings with the Green Man to control us was not enough to dim our fire, so the Labour government organized the Winter of Discontent by turning our lights off, ensuring the dead remained unburied and our rubbish was left to fester in the street.
Why, why did they do this? Yes, it was an excuse to foist upon us Gauleiter Thatcher the worst mass murderer since Stalin; the Pol Pot of Peckham, the Mao of Maidenhead, the perpetrator of deeds so foul (aka The Community Charge) that none dare talk of them even today.
And so to the final battle, the fight for our very souls, COVID. How clever they were, ensuring a few old people died just to scare the rest of us into being injected with computer chips, not once but twice. Oh yes, make sure you get your second jab, they said. We know that it is the second jab that activates the chip and starts the program of subliminal messages.
Well, enough is enough. Make a stand here; Do not go for the second jab.. Cut off your arms so they cannot force the notorious needle into you. Defund the NHS. Picket Greggs, so the Steak Bake, with its government mandated drug, disguised as meat (ha!) cannot infest your system. Burn huge amounts of fossil fuel to defeat ther global warming conspiracy. Throw away your mobile phone, the signals infect both your mind and body. Most of all, do not watch Manchester City or you will be lulled into into a lifelong reverie of ecstacy.
To arms brothers and sisters, our lives matter. Throw off the yoke of Boris the Beast, terminate Trump, garrotte Gates, mash Macron, and, er, go for a pint, while you still can.

Are you suggesting we should be more like what they are? From an outsider looking in Australia’s government has been well over the top from day one essentially keeping people locked up for months over a handful of deaths. I know a few people that live over there, some regions have been ridiculous.

Football League? Fairy Land? First Love? Fet Life?

I don’t think last season’s Champions League nor mid-season internationals should have taken place. Especially the internationals with players mixing then going back to their clubs.

European Championships was well into our vaccine rollout so less of an issue but still a minor factor for our rise in cases. As long as it doesn’t translate to too many deaths though, it’ll be alright.
