If one player has it, they are all in their ‘bubble’ working, training and socialising together, so a lot of them will have got it by now. They can still take simple precautions like monitoring air quality in dressing rooms, using wide open rooms for video sessions etc. Maybe they are doing things like that and we get away with only one or two cases, hopefully so and hopefully asymptomatic ones at that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 If it remained as one player, who is that one player who you wouldn’t want to lose for 10 days? I’d say Martinez. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyjavfc Posted December 12, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 12, 2021 The new strain is super transmissible so this will be hitting a few squads soon. I sincerely hope the players and staff are testing daily now as it’s the only way to have any chance of staying covid free going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an airborne virus which transmission can be avoided through proper mask wearing (FFP2/K95) and ventilation measures indoors especially when together as a group. I think you’re over simplifying it. In a contact sport, through training they are pretty much in contact for hours per day whether indoor or more likely outdoor…heavily breathing, talking, coaching, much closer than six feet. Yes where they can they would or should be taking all precautions but as you can see from matches how close footballers are in tackling, defending, attacking…with sweat everywhere, heavy breathing etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Didn’t some of our players get it earlier on in the season and everything continued as normal while they isolated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren’t Spurs in that situation with 8 players and 5 members of staff have it at the moment. I think with the new variant it may happen more than you are expecting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes think McGinn got it while playing for Scotland and Ramsey was deemed a close contact and they both missed the Brentford match. Norwich will only get called off if 5 + senior players have symptoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MaVilla Posted December 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) seriously, at what point do elite sportspersons and the governing body need to treat this for what it is, a ramped up (but dangerous to some) cold, "covid" will be with us forever now, literally forever, we need at some point to return to a version of normal, we cant be halting all of our lives for this for the rest of our lives. im entirely for vaccinating the at risk, but wider society needs to return to some normality, sooner rather than later.

What are you suggesting then ?. The normal you are proposing would see people en mass denied hospital life saving treatment. It's all very well saying return to normality - but I'm not sure of the implications of that are acceptable. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t you think people are trying to do that but the virus has its own influence on when that will be. We all want normality but just because we want something doesn’t mean we can have it without causing more problems. The problem isn’t just vaccinating the at risk, if it was that simple we wouldn’t be talking about it in the way we are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
