I did tell you Sandy was spot on with my June prediction. Anyway, none of us want football without fans, but at this moment in time, we have no choice. I would rather have football than none and they are going through the right measures to test players, so it’s deemed safe for everyone involved. I have absolutely no issue with it whatsoever. Will be nice to see the footy back on the screen again, even if it won’t quite be the same with empty stadiums. We crack on with this, then get prepared for the new season. All good with me, roll on June 17th and roll on some normality back in our lives in the near future.
Premier league restarts June 17th

Those of you who think testing football players twice a week is going to be a panacea for the restart should read some scientific analyses of the reliability of COVID_19 tests.
Turns out false negatives are a real problem, particularly for healthcare workers who have to deal with possibly infected patients.
"Sam Torbati, MD, co-director of the Ruth and Harry Roman Emergency Department at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, had similar concerns, especially after reading papers suggesting the swab tests in use today have a 70% sensitivity. "That means that 30% of people who have the disease will test negative, and from a front-line standpoint, the concept that we have a test that will help us rule people in and out is not actually accurate."

I just had a negative test yesterday! Hope my doctor feels confident when I face her tomorrow!

You conveniently left out the remainder of my post to try and give your comment more credence than it deserves.
As well as the twice a week tests, they are provisioned support to stop their contact with the outside world.
When you are living and encapsulated in the same conditions as a premier league footballer let us know.
When is your next test? In 3 days time or you don’t know?
Don’t paint yourself into a corner ted, otherwise we will just call you t!t

“Not very accurate” - let’s have your figures on their accuracy rate ..?
Exactly what are you hoping to be right about early July? A mass of new infections among footballers who are plying their trade or a rise in infections generally?

Depends upon which study you read. Generally speaking one can expect a false negative rate of somewhere between 5 - 15%.
https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19/86047
Other studies, done in UK, have found only 60%-70% of COVID positive patients being detected by the usual tests..
Depends upon the test. Nasal swab is not only not very accurate, but is also a damned uncomfortable procedure. I doubt football players will put up with frequent tests for very long.
Try it yourself and see!

You can watch the Bundesliga right now.
And here's a prediction for you.......
After the restart on June 17th...enough players will get sick that it will all be stopped again.
Consequently the start of the 2021 season will be put on hold.
There are examples occuring now....of precincts, counties, cities, that have opened up too soon......
and are now having to close down again.
Stay tuned!!!
Beware what you wish for...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
OK, well stay tuned and see whether this comes to pass.

Can't wait to see this
