I’m really not sure how to respond to that.

You mustn’t read the forum very often if you think Gotcha and I are the sane person

Leeds has seen cases climb for a few weeks.

If crowds are allowed back it may only be briefly. Case numbers are expected to rise rapidly as we get into November and won't begin to fall until March 2021 from a peak not dissimilar to earlier this year. However this isn't an exact science. I wouldn't be surprised to see the 2021 season be delayed until late March or even April or May.

Whilst Krisleeds’ post is firmly in the wibble tinfoil hat category, he does have some semblance of a point as do you.

Nobody is immortal CV19 or not, I doubr CV19 will be ‘done’ at any point in the near future, that is why we have to start getting back to some kind of normality, the vulnerable should be sheilded but life is not 100% risk free

The more we return to 'normality', the greater the spread of the virus.The problem is not so much the greater incidence of cases or the relatively low death rate that we're seeing right now, but rather the risk to the NHS if a peak of COVID-related hospital admissions coincides with the usual surge of winter admissions. We can't afford for hospitals to be stopping regular treatment, operations, A&E etc, if they get inundated with COVID patients again - and this is what will happen if there's another steep peak.

What we should be doing is getting COVID ready wards off site at different locations so we don’t interfere with the regular working of hospitals, then we can start to reopen society without clogging up the hospitals at peak times.

The nightingale hospitals are still available if needed and set to remain so until at least March 21

Re: Fans return 30th September : Sat Sep 05, 2020 5:33 pm  

Are they suitable for taking in any CV-19 patients or only those who need very specific care? If they could be a first port of call, meaning the main hospitals are not touched by CV-19, this is the way forward to reopening society.
