I Notice We Don't Have a Covid Thread

Not even started with the vaccine in my part of Spain.

Oldies and key workers first but each province has control over how and when they start. Nothing in my part of Spain yet as they are waiting for sufficient quantities to arrive. The big cities seem to be getting priority.

Everyone through the health service and no advantage having private health insurance. Maybe I can pop over to Gibraltar where they are steaming ahead with the vaccinations!

I didn't realise this was about so I feel ill share my experience in the hope it helps others. I had the jab last Saturday and fealt fine . However , I woke up Sunday feeling ill, fluey, aching body, tired and put of breath. I felt like this on Monday too. Come Tuesday I felt better but was out of breath the come wendesday I was fine. My point here is if you get your jab and feel poorly, don't panic, its quite normal to get flu symptoms after the jab.

But don't worry guys, its not as bad as having to endure watching this current pne team.

What about us that haven’t been offered it!?

Negative test. I’m like you and not been offered a vaccine yet, but am on twice weekly testing so should be ok.

I'm beginning to wonder how all this spans out regarding long term commitment to purchasing season tickets. I'm assuming most fans will have had some form of vaccine by the time pre season games are played in July,however if a fan has chosen not to have a jab then in my opinion they've made that decision based maybe on health grounds or fears raised from social media platforms. I'm guessing they wouldn't be allowed in the ground, would this be discriminative? Last time out I purchased two season tickets for me and my wife which cost £800, if on the day we had a covid test and either of us tested positive then obviously we wouldn't be able to go to the game, would we receive a credit for a missed game? There are many questions raised and the efl insisting on certification could lead to many fans at many clubs thinking attending games is going to be too problematic.

The trial game is at Wembley I think. 10 000 fans.
I think vaccination is the way forward really. 90% of over 50s in Preston are vaccinated.
The testing as you say Sudell throws up all sorts of problems should it be positive. The numbers would be tiny so a return payment wouldn’t be out of the question. The problem would be rising cases in the autumn / winter when most of the season is played.
Think we’ll have a restricted amount in next season leading to ‘normal’ the season after.
Hope the timeline is better than that but it’s hard to predict what will be reimported this summer mutation wise.

The 10 000 or so at Wembley will go down Wembley way to the tube stations. Typically packed.

Reasons to be positive, UK has the lowest rates and Europe and we pass herd immunity end of the week.

Vaccination doesnt stop you having the virus. Just stops you getting seriously ill in most cases. So, you can be vaccinated, have the virus and then spread it to everyone else.


( according to what I've heard and read )

You still need to be careful , even after the vaccination for the sake of everyone else.

I thought you always saw the positive side of life ?

I ain't interested in defined research etc, I just want to go to the pub have a right sesh then get back to work. Id hate to be a benefit bum.

Positive

There is now no pandemic in the UK which is great.
Need to be vigilant going into the autumn the virus is pretty resistant and no doubt we’ll important variant strains.

Fully open in the Uk come 21st June, don’t think that will change
