So we can now shop anywhere, stay in hotels, and soon we'll be able to go to pubs, cafes and cinemas etc but still we can't go to a County Championship cricket game where the attendance is usually only a few hundred and you can sit completely out in the open a long way from the nearest spectator. Covid science is very strange indeed.

Agreed it's pathetic apprantly your a 1000 times more safe out doors than in but they are sat indoors watching snooker you couldn't make this up

I wonder what the results of the Wembley experiment are.Could there be crowds for the playoff finals.

Had my second jab today, Welsh folk clearly being prioritised over us Englishmen

Despite being double jabbed I tested positive for Covid this week, fortunately my symptoms are no worse than a heavy cold, so far. I’m self isolating and completed the NHS Tracing form as requested - listing where I’d been and who I’d come into contact with in the days before I started feeling rough.

What is most surprising, and perhaps worrying, is that it seems 90% likely that I caught this virus outdoors, most likely on a football pitch ( I referee several grassroots games per week) as I hadn’t been to any shops, pubs, other indoor venues during the days beforehand. I live alone and hadn’t met up with anyone else during this period.

Perhaps a lesson for us all, even those who are vaccinated: it’s possible to get this virus in outdoor settings when you’re least expecting it. Thank heavens the vaccinations have most likely prevented me from getting seriously ill.
