Only positive thing for spurs so far this season.8 spurs players are positive with 13 in total

You're all over the place with this post.Are the Spurs players not vaccinated or something? Why are they having such a major outbreak? And if they are vaccinated and are basically going to have an asymptomatic or very mild case - shouldn’t this be treated like any other flu type virus?
If, at the end of the day, this is only really affecting the unvaccinated, do we really need to be so careful anymore?
Impossible to say, but there seems to be a lot of players in the PL who are not fully vaccinated.Are the Spurs players not vaccinated or something?
i didn’t say you couldn’t get the virus, but it seems unlikely that so many would get the virus if they are all vaccinated. And even if they do, how much does it really matter? The last thing I read on the guardian said there hadn’t been any severe cases of omicron amongst the vaccinated, and most vaccinated who contract COVID-19 have no or barely any symptoms. So as long as we protect the vulnerable, and put restrictions on the unvaccinated, is all this necessary?You're all over the place with this post.
Being vaccinated doesn't stop you getting the virus for starters.
You can easily get a major outbreak if one player is infected. And as a squad might be 30-40 people all training closely, it just takes 1 of those to mix with the wrong person outside of their bubble to bring it in.
Being asymptomatic is irrelevant, a positive case will rule someone out.
As for that last line, that is probably why this thing keeps rumbling on.
This new strain is way more infectious than Delta which was way more infectious than the original strain of COVID - all it takes is one person to infect a large number of people if they are in close contact. I know of two people in the last 3 weeks - double jabbed who both contracted COVID - both very unwell for over a week and still experiencing vertigo and other symptoms a couple of weeks later. You appear to be woefully ill-informed.i didn’t say you couldn’t get the virus, but it seems unlikely that so many would get the virus if they are all vaccinated.

Not sure what you want to see changed here? Are you saying we should let positive cases carry on playing as long as they are asymptomatic?https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...ly-evade-covid-vaccine-protection-study-finds
I mean, your evidence is anecdotal. I’m going off studies that show regular vaccination is partially effective against omicron resulting in no severe illness, and a booster shot is very effective against omicron, mainly leading to minor or asymptomatic conditions. I’ll admit I’m not informed about your health status of your mates.
I'm not sure this is entirely true, I think it's fair to say that most vaccinated people, so far, have not had to be hospitalised. I caught it in August two months after my second jab, I was in bed for 6 days and really horribly ill, four months on still struggle walking uphill or up a flight of stairs, but I didn't have to go hospital and I'm clearly still alive! I am certainly not alone in this, I know quite a few people in the same situation, this is of course anecdotal and we maybe the exceptions, but double jabbed certainly does not mean having no or barely any symptoms.i didn’t say you couldn’t get the virus, but it seems unlikely that so many would get the virus if they are all vaccinated.

Good point. They've actually just brought the date forward a week so as not to clash with Fifa's world club thing. I too wonder if either will happen now.Has the AFCON been cancelled yet, surely there's no way that can go ahead next month.
I would be amazed if AFCON was cancelled because the nations involved are not known to willingly forego such a major moneyspinner. I could certainly see FIFA granting an exemption to clubs who do not want to release their star players to travel at this time and then it would come down to the players wishes. If a club can decline to release a player but he wants to play does the club stand firm?Good point.

All in the air isn't it? I couldn't possibly predict how it will pan out, or not pan out. The thought of corrupt officials missing out is amusing, but it's very sad for players who have such a short career at the best of times.I would be amazed if AFCON was cancelled because the nations involved are not known to willingly forego such a major moneyspinner.

What team was forced to play last season when they had 7 players infected?Spuds game against Brighton officially postponed.
Some team in Portugal. They fielded only 9 players including three keepers and eventually the match was stopped when two of their players got injured.What team was forced to play last season when they had 7 players infected?

Besides, I don't think boosters are freely available to all age groups in the UK yet.
Gosh, I didn’t know boosters weren’t available to all in the UK. I live in the US and they’ve been available for a while. It’s getting people to take them which is the issue. Only 60% of adults are fully vaccinated here, which is just shocking.I'm not sure this is entirely true, I think it's fair to say that most vaccinated people, so far, have not had to be hospitalised.

As for Omicron being a less serious variant in terms of how ill people get, we just do not know enough yet, at the moment it is rather like having a thousand cases to analyse and then extrapolating those results out to billions of people, all it takes is a tiny error or unobserved consequence and the ramifications could be huge. We have to treat it seriously until we know more.
They were talking about something like that months ago. All players, officials, staff and the crowd would have needed to be vaccinated but it's just gone away it seems.They should make it mandatory for all players to be fully vaccinated ( Unless for medical exemptions) if they want to play.
I am sure that there are some sports which makes in mandatory for the players and officials to be fully vaccinated.They were talking about something like that months ago. All players, officials, staff and the crowd would have needed to be vaccinated but it's just gone away it seems.
I only know of indoor sports like basketball doing it.I am sure that there are some sports which makes in mandatory for the players and officials to be fully vaccinated.
Salah is smart, people should like Salah.One thing is seriously missing in contemporary media - deliberations based on unbiased scientific evidence. I can’t imagine the number of influential people still uncertain about the benefits of the COVID-19 vaccines.
People like Kimmich may or may not be thickos (I am no one to judge), but they are certainly victims of a society that is amazingly unqualified to perform even a basic scientific literature-search by themselves.

I would tell him how to play football
Good man.
Vaccines are good but they don't solve the problem. The only true option is to stop all the matches, events, flights, travels and everything for few months and stay home, but I don't think its feasible.I am sure that there are some sports which makes in mandatory for the players and officials to be fully vaccinated.
Sucks that I will have to like him a small amount now.
Think it was Fulham but not certainWhat team was forced to play last season when they had 7 players infected?
Level-headed, sensible footballer, good man. Kimmich should take note
Just to be clear, booster jabs have recently been made available to all adults in the UK and the time gap between your second jab and your booster/third jab reduced from 6 months to 3 months.Gosh, I didn’t know boosters weren’t available to all in the UK. I live in the US and they’ve been available for a while. It’s getting people to take them which is the issue. Only 60% of adults are fully vaccinated here, which is just shocking.
Ah yes, the guy who partied during his brothers marriage with hundreds of others without wearing a mask when the pandemic was in a much worse state than now.
Would the Premier League be willing to write off Christmas football?
