But you are correct, we were at these numbers in the summer and with the added protection of vaccines we should be able to maintain it as a countrywide average..... To be fair, you didn't say what your scale was. I took it as daily, not weekly as the % infection rates are routinely based on daily figures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Percentage wise we are at 5.2% although the last few days we’ve dropped below the magic WHO 5% ‘control’ line.Still concerned that numbers have flattened a bit too much recently and we are about to release the shackles a few weeks too soon.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shackles will be in place for a number of weeks as they've already put the kibosh on Easter get-to-gethers and are not talking in any way positive about summer 'staycations',; crowd gatherings are way off the agenda. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SG categorically stated Easter holidaying is up the spout and don't book 'staycations' for summer yet. Doesn't take much reading between the lines that they'll not allow large crowds before they allow family bubbles to travel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagsfan57 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 My football club is not effected one way or the other by the braying nonsense being peddled on this thread. Swing and a miss.You’re just lucky about the timing of this pandemic. The majority of championship clubs(7, I think) have been in league 1 in the last 10 years. There really is very little between the L1 and championship clubs, even although you want to pretend otherwise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagsfan57 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Ah yes, only Falkirk's self interest is ok and somehow virtuous and considers other clubs and Scottish football as a whole, whilst the self interest of every single other club is atrocious and selfish and is designed to kill Scottish football. On the mental health front, what do you imagine the main reason for the top two leagues being given an exemption is?I would say tv deals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with the current situation where the bulk of vulnerable people have some level of vaccination but the working population (ignoring medical/care workers) have none. It shouldn't matter if folk are picking up the virus en masse if it's not resulting in hospitalisations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't, but I think it was a factor when the football authorities were pleading their case. I'm not sure other sectors commercial commitments cut as much I've though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The case numbers per 100k is extremely important. That has implications on the chances of yet another new variant coming to the fore and causing all sorts of issues regarding the current efficacy of the vaccines and whether the virus is likely to become more virulent and/or pathogenic. Keep these numbers down and everything else will follow suit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banditjag Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Doesn't look like a restart is likely, if the tone of the posts on here are any indication, seems like most are coming to that conclusion. Personally I've been quite pissed that the top 2 leagues seem to have been given preferential treatment and the arse cheeks seem to have control over decision making, but, lives before games. Perhaps ending the season for L1 and L2 is the safest option. With the announcement of furlough extension until the autumn should ensure our clubs are safe. That said premier and championship should be likewise however the prospect of sevco's reaction dictates they don't. Be a right laugh if they did though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
