OT - to mask or not to mask........

For those faint hearts who get so tetchy at any criticism of the current government I’ll pass on any comment about their performance.

It would seem however, judging from this morning’s announcement in relation to France, Malta and MA’s adopted homeland, that the truth is...we are all screwed until a vaccine is found.

What seems to have happened is that lockdown has proved an effective way of controlling the spread of the virus, but very shortly after any attempts at returning to normality (shops, pubs, restaurants, resorts etc reopening) have been attempted the virus has returned with a vengeance...in all countries, not just ours.

The implications from the point of view of schools (crucially important) and sports stadiums (important to those on this forum) are obvious.

Depressingly I really can no longer see how it’s going to be possible to reopen sports stadia before a safe and effective vaccine has been discovered and implemented. The consequences for education, society and the economy are obviously infinitely more important but, as this is a DCFC/Football forum, what are the implications for our club and for the dozens of smaller clubs as the reintroduction of paying spectators seems ever less imminent?

P.S. Curious that Italy, which six months ago was Europe’s Coronavirus hotpot, seems to be doing relatively well. Thoughts?
