Can't wait!

I tested positive in September 2020 and double vaccinated. It's about time we started living our lives. However, it's fully understandable having concerns and anxieties. If me wearing a mask makes those around me comfortable it's common decency to wear the mask.

Spectacularly bad communication. I'm double jabbed and agree with the general sentiment but it's just unneccessarily confusing.
ye it doesnt actually bother me that much but I just dont understand why they didnt announce this weeks ago

I’m in two minds about it. Looking forward to getting back and having a bit of normality, but I’m in my early fifties and still really nervous about big crowds and covid.

I’m double jabbed but had mine early on (early Feb and May) and no one seems to know how long immunity lasts but I can’t let this rule my life, plus there are enough risks at home with two adult sons - one being a secondary school teacher who’s been in unventilated classes with hundreds of kids every day and the other who‘s out socialising every weekend.

I wont have a Season Ticket for the first time in several years as I'll be going to USA for at least 6 months as soon as the current restrictions are lifted and travelling to and from USA is back to "normal" but I'll go to United matches, home and away when I can until I leave UK; normality has to return some day, and hiding behind our sofas wont make it happen any quicker so I intend to embrace life and living again, in fact, like millions of others Im already doing so!

I don't see the LFT tests being an option for long to easy to abuse.

It's vague and confusing for no apparent reason. No club is saying it's mandatory but apparently fans could face random spot checks. And? If it's not mandatory until 1st October what's the point of the spot check and how can you enforce anything?

United are following the government policy and only doing this from 1st October 2021.
Makes.absolutely no sense for it to be mandatory from October and not now, but then this govt has made a mess of nearly every important decision throughout this pandemic

It is to appease backbench MPs who argue that it is not fair to put such a measure in place until all adults could have theoretically taken up two doses of a vaccine respecting the timescales.

All the more reason to get double vaccine if you ask me. I have a bunch of game tickets for this season and I'm not concerned one bit about covid because everyone I know has had the vaccine and will get the boosters. It's only those people who aren't willing to have the vaccine that have anything to be concerned about.
