From Rome Masters 1000, (tennis tourney) last week. Fans were allowed (%20 of the total capacity) with the mask and social distancing, it was quite an atmopshere, with cheers and applause following a good shot. I realised I miss it.

Its in humans nature to believe they are smarter and above nature but I believe we are snookered.

Pandemics are essentially one of natures ways of keeping a species population down - if nature doesn't want this thing to go away it wont do therefore a vaccine becomes essential.

I personally cant see one of those until the end of 2021 the time it gets rolled out.

Problem is by that time I fear economic ruin on the scale of post WW1 / the great depression.
We got the roaring 20s before the great depression in the 30s...
 
Can you not care about both?

I go and watch local non league teams and know how important they are to their local communities.

You’re happy for these teams to be left behind?
No, I'm happy to see whatever it takes to keep deaths down, and if that partially means people dont get into a football ground then that's what it takes and it's just tough.

It's not not being able to go to the match (or the pub, or the gym etc) which gets me, it's how any of the clubs/businesses etc affected get back up and running, in a time where it's so uncertain.

We can't live in fear for the rest of our lives, it's daft. So there has to be a plan to get out of it. That's on the governments and their advisors.

That to me is part of the issue, can the virus only travel left and right and not up and down? One bloke is right close to another's head, perhaps he knows him but perhaps he's just a bell. The arrangement makes little sense.

I think fans in grounds is probably pie in the sky ah the moment so I can see where you’re coming from but I can also empathise with those whose clubs might go under .

I appreciate thousands of deaths are clearly more important that football but it’s also easy to dismiss if when it’s not our club. We seem fine but if Everton were in danger of folding the idea that I wouldn’t care , be emotional or clammer around for a solution is fanciful . This club has been part of my life since the day I was born , my fondest family memories are laced with Everton , it connects all disparate strands of my family , the vast majority of my friendship group are blues I could go on . I’m not dismissing covid nor saying it doesn’t matter and to hell with the health risks but I am thinking how I’d feel if Everton didn’t come out the other side . You know like I think about how people cope with losing their jobs , businesses or struggling with their mental health . Reading your posts I sometimes think not to troubled by huge swathes of others when making decisions or pronouncements must hugely liberating.
 
So thounds of of people on the beaches Across
Europe No spike 2 months ago
Hundreds of Thousands gathered during BLM protests across the world No spike 2 months ago
Thousands gathered in our own city when they won the league No spike 2 months ago

How come there was no huge spike in cases10-14 days after these mass gatherings??

it’s almost like mass gatherings has no affect on the virus at all.
