I'm not sending my.youngest back no way , not.unless I can get a 100 % guarantee of his safety.

With regards to football as long as everyone at the match is tested and passed clear then I don't see a problem.

I fully expect the virus to peak back up in another two weeks .

Edward, good for you. But commonsense should tell you that if football has to be played behind closed doors, then that should tell you it aint safe.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Behind closed doors" is essentially no fans.

Kids might be immune or asymptomatic, my concern would be primarily with their teachers and support staff and also with the school run, parents who cannot get to and from the school without using the bus/tube 4 times a day.

So it aint safe then, same as if kids have to be kept apart. Neither are safe environments.

this is Sandy everything is twisted that way

The bottom line is people are being asked to risk catching the virus, and having more serious outcomes for financial reasons.

And once again sandy, footballers aren't taking tests away from key workers. The NHS choose not to use the testing machines that football clubs have bought. Its not like they've stolen it from them. Why do you keep ignoring that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is something that every labour supporter conveniently ignores.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

And every Tory voter ignores what a complete mess their party of made of this Pandemic.

Football is played outside, that is the safest work environment you can have right now.

Playing football in front of spectators, the way it has been done for 140 plus years. Only then can we say it is a safe environment.

The problem is , is that it's an Invisible enemy , and a small minority of public members will not show symptoms causing a. Spike again.

Personally I couldn't care if this season starts again or not . If it were my choice id abandon and do everything possible to get the next season started on time in front of fans.

This whole school thing is beyond a joke as was the decision to get people back and working so soon, Im aost certain we will back to square one in a few weeks.

but we have government guidelines on large crowds so that's a no I'm afraid

The game will still be the same though, 11 vs 11 and the team that scores the most goals wins.

There should be better plans in place for public transport .
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What plans would you implement?

I only ask as it’s a difficult thing to tackle. Public transport by nature and at its most efficient takes a lot of people at one time from A to B. And that is incredibly useful/essential in any urban area. Other than provisions such as cleaning the transport periodically and wearing masks I don’t know what else you could do.

You could limit people on public transport but I think this of course impacts on the intrinsic efficiency of public transport systems and if it is done too much it almost makes the whole point of public transport negated, and difficult to regulate on tube (more easily on bus and maybe train).

----------------------------------------------------------------------

so it's only safe if fans are allowed, despite players all testing negative. So your issue has now actually switched to fans not being allowed in as opposed to players safety.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I didn`t say that. But we know 100 per cent if supporters were let in, it would be safe. The reason supporters are not being let in, is because it is not a safe environment for them. You really don`t get it do you.

You are right mate, there is no easy answer, especially in a major city like London. I think it will be just a matter of you take your chance. Something, I would not be prepared to do. Some might, a lot might, their choice. But you only have one life, so why take a risk? Even transport workers have been dying in quite large numbers, so why any user would use public transport right now is beyond me.

Those in the higher risks are right to be cautious but as things ease even the more at risk groups will start to go out more.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, I get that mate, but I still think it is far to early to be easing lockdown properly. Autumn when maybe fatalities are down to double digit numbers would be better. Whilst so many are still battling to stay alive, I don`t think it is appropriate to be playing competitive sports of any kind.
