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?
Well thats fine IF an effective vaccine is found. Although lets put matters into perspective, its estimated less than 6% of the UK population has been infected, the infection rates reported are tiny percentages of a nations population, cases requiring hospital treatment are very low.

So we are back to if your a person vulnerable if you catch Corvid-19 then you take your own precautions and protect yourself according to your own judgement. If your not then just act sensible and get on with life.

The fact is that for the next 18 months or very possibly longer we are going to have to live with the virus, in reality we probably are going to have to live with it for ever and the impact on not getting on with life will be much worse.

Once people understand that and accept it, then we shall be returning to the new normal.
