Coronavirus and Football (Plus all Sport in General)

City back in training. Awfully quick for a team that yesterday had to postpone a game due to a contagious illness

it'll be interesting to see what if anything is said in response to Everton asking about the situation

Saw that earlier alright, or at least that the facility was reopened, also it appears as though Everton are still waiting for a detailed response from the PL as to what the **** is going on.

Considering it can be argued that City's Covid woes are mainly of their own lapses in protocols, and that they have a pool of fit players to call on...........Everton are deservedly due a response for a cancellation 4hrs before a match.

22 players have direct contact for 90 mins plus all of the travelling to and from games, via hotels. It’s not 100% bullet proof even with the protocols. Plus the new strain is said to be more transmissible.

Not to mention that they all go home to their families and it's much harder to control what goes on with them and anyone they might come in contact with.

I live in America in a state where there has been no in-person school all year. We bubbled up with three other families in order to get someone in to help with our five year old's virtual learning, while we try and balance working remotely (in most cases). It's hard enough to come to consensus within a group that small when it comes to what we all think is and isn't acceptable. When you do come to an agreement, you have to trust that their won't be any lapses in judgement. But, at the end of the day that's all you've got, trust.

Anyway, multiply these factors by everyone involved day to day at a football club, and it doesn't take much for one person to unwittingly spread the virus at work.

Fans' mental health aside, football isn't exactly what you'd call an essential service. I thought when the season began that it would be a miracle if it didn't get shut down at some point and it looks like we're a step closer to that right now.

What!?

I don't think there's anything to suggest it was that type of party!

Still selfish either way of course.
