Superspreaders

[Canary42]

The Covid Superspreaders were out in force today then. Carrying it from Coventry to Norfolk, from Liverpool to Yorkshire, from Reading to Luton, from Wales to Nottingham, from London to Derbyshire, from the Midlands to Lancashire, from Sheffield to Bristol, and so on (#4).

Who are they ? Why they’re the highly-paid players of the F A top football teams. Many of these teams have players who've tested positive for the plague, but they just self-isolate so that's all right then!.

And this goes ahead while 2 plebs taking a 4-mile drive to exercise are penalised(#3). You couldn’t make it up.

There are some in Top Football who don't agree with it (e.g. Steve Bruce #1) but others who plead for the pampered pansies (David Moyes #2).

Big money talks OK. The over 80,000 dead (#5) have no say in it of course.

woofy, I know that in 'soap dramas' actors are not allowed to hug and kiss and I expect it's the same in the programmes you mentioned? If footballers do this, catch Covid , as some have done, causing the cancellation of matches, then take the Covid home to the family, and we then start the spread to other members of their family including the older members. I know it's my opinion, but there are still lots of 'activities' going on that shouldn't. Lots of non essential shops still open that should be closed. My neighbour went in Greggs today for a pasty, then onto another shop for a cake. Then she went into WH Smiths to buy some books. In fact the only shop she saw that was closed was Bon Marche.

If the are regularly and routinely tested, does it really matter if they celebrate the goals or not? Whatever our personal feelings are, sport brings much needed entertainment to millions. It's not needed, but for many people, it is welcome.

[Barsel]

Mozz, I can think of other forms of entertainment that might not be needed but would be very welcome, but, better not go down that road, wink wink, know what I mean. :-).

[Mozz71]

I'll only welcome that if I can sit on the sofa and have a beer while it happens Barsel ;-)

This site is dead in the water. Way too many do-gooders and scaremongers and doom and gloom merchants who know EVERYTHING. I won't be posting as much from now on in either, if at all !!

And before any smart ass says it, I know I won't be missed, but neither will I miss any of you.

Byeeeeeee !!

Ooh, a flounce-de-deux.

[woofgang]

they haven't removed themselves....its a revolving door flounce a deux

[bednobs]

canary, do you have any idea how annoying it is to see a list numbered thusly: 4,3,1,2,5?

[jno]

we've all got to be encouraged to stay mentally alert in these troubled times, bednobs.

[woofgang]

Barsel in Strictly they danced together.
I know they (footballers) are paid enough to do it but I honestly think they are not being a risk to the general public and are helping many people to get through lockdown....although not me lol.
We all have things we miss badly. My friend can't even see her grandchildren let alone hug one and they live quite near. My sister who is my bubble person has to go home tomorrow to wait for her vaccination and I will be alone with my dog until she has had it. She will be alone too.
We all have our problems to bear.

Intrigue, come on then, for the benefit of those who don't follow this stuff.

[choux]

ummmm, you mean there is another superspreader?
;)

[Deskdiary]

I believe the round-ball game is quite popular, so I can understand why people would want it to continue, but for me, I'm just glad elite Rugby is continuing...although it does drive Mrs DD bananas that about 8 hours on any given weekend is me spent on my ever increasing asre watching it!

[Mamyalynne]

Bednobs, I tippexed my screen and put the numbers right :-)

[douglas9401]

None the wiser. I'll have to wait for SatProf or Dummyfluter to work it out for me. :-)

Thank you Ed for removing the two utterly ridiculous posts.
