What correlation does that have? A well organised risk controlled closed sporting event versus a packed boozer of individuals literally progressively losing more self control and inhibitions by the mouth full?
The problem is that the actual lockdown is more like an attempt to bankrupt small business than anything else.
As a key worker, during first lockdown was something surreal. Pretty much deserted streets in Cambridge, everyone at home.
Now, during my deliveries, I can't pass 10 houses without being "forced" out the path as whole groups/family spend all day walking as if they were on holidays somewhere else.
I understand the need of exercise, but people clogging the paths, chit-chatting isn't essential, isn't exercise.
I need to walk around, looking like a bum, but I can see mobile dog groomers working. Hey, the dog needs to look good. We can go without.
About football, here is more organized, true, but seems odd so much money and effort spent just to "keep football going on". I don't think it's essential, sorry.
At the moment we can't go out shopping for clothing, as the shops are closed, but supermarkets still able to sell clothing, while exclusively clothing shops are shut.
And the pub shut isn't helping anyway.
The people who used to spend all day inside one are, likely, at some friend's place drinking the extra 20 quid the government is giving them every week.
Then someone explain why someone who pays taxes has to make do with reduced wages, or even the extinction of their job, while freeloaders who didn't suffer any income reduction, or any extra expense, gets a "pay rise"?
And sincerely I don't see how much riskier is to get a haircut while wearing a facemask can be than collecting a Covid Test from someone's house (which has symptoms and possibly is infected) and placing the test kit next to the pouchs with mail for 500 households to be delivered, or driving a van which someone tested positive hours before and hasn't been disinfected because the company can't bother.
So the inoffensive looking key worker may be carrying Covid more efficiently than rats during the Black Death.
My point is, only the essential should be allowed. It's either none or all. Can't be selective. And if we were to be, those Football clubs got much fat to burn than the regular Joes.
How many people does Man United employs? What about Primark or Debenhams?
