And here is me thinking you would go looking, in fact bending over backwards to prove your "conspiracy theory conspiracy theory.

Re: What now for fans watching ? - Covid chat : Sun Oct 04, 2020 11:39 pm  
I found this rather interesting and merited the question why?
From https://www.cdc.gov/flu/symptoms/flu-vs-covid19.htm
Similarities:

Both COVID-19 and flu illness can result in severe illness and complications. Those at highest risk include:
Older adults
People with certain underlying medical conditions
Pregnant people
Differences:
The risk of complications for healthy children is higher for flu compared to COVID-19. However, infants and children with underlying medical conditions are at increased risk for both flu and COVID-19.

Flu
Young children are at higher risk of severe illness from flu.

Seeing as (despite a vaccine) thousands die of flu yearly, why have we not had restrictions in place over the centuries to protect our healthy children from the flu? just as we protect the over 80s with underlying health problems from c-19.

Again, things just do not add up.

And this.

Andrew Marr asked Boris yesterday why, in Manchester, In July just 20.5 per 100,000 people were being infected yet now it's 205 per 100,000 people nearly 10 times as many after six weeks of the tightest restrictions in the country.

Re: What now for fans watching ? - Covid chat : Mon Oct 05, 2020 10:17 pm  
Anyone seen the latest video released yesterday of Boris on the Beeb, smirking about how lockdown may continue over Christmas? He's grinning all the way through it, just like Bill Gates grins when he talks about lockdown and vaccines.

.In fact listening to Boris the other day reminds me of that beach scene from jaws, where just as everyone is ready to get back in the water Chief Brody starts waving his pistol around and shooting at an imaginary shark causing the bathers to panic.

Now I know no one on here wants to discuss the “what now for fans” part of the thread title. Maybe deep down you know what is in store for fans and that thought is too painful to contemplate let alone debate. For those of us who see a never ending virus and a forever or partially closed uneconomic Belle Vue (or UK even) it's doubly worrying. Are we to go the way of Cine World (should it go under, and it looks likely).

This brings me to Carter. Does he realize the end is possibly nigh hence his reluctance to solve the Chester / coaching team conundrum. I mean, why spend money, because it will cost money, to sort out a problem that would, in the end, be a waste of time.......and money.

We may not be alone.
Here are a few search engine results, first page. Very worrying if all this, and the rest should come to pass over a wholly disproportionate response to a virus, be it regular flu or c-19.

Miro, throughout this thread, I have agreed with a lot you say, and reading the above reminded me of an old chap standing outside BV on match days, in the 1950s//60s,wearing a flat cap, long coat, and sandwich boards with a placard above his head, with the words THE END IS NIGH, Well, after reading the above article, it appears that old chap was right after all.
Perhaps you remember him, (he wasn’t your dad was he) :D

Miro, if your wife, or family member becomes ill showing forcasted signs of CV19, who will you call for help? David Icke?

If you hear burglars downstairs, who will you call? Piers Corbyn?

Get real or go and sit up a tree.
If nothing was being done, you would still be in Hyde Park

Miro from my recollection chief Brody was right while he was waving his gun around someone was being attacked behind him so he knew there was a danger out there but others just ignored him, he just couldn't see where it would pop up next,
this had me thinking on a hot summers day would you go bathing in an area that you was told there is a danger not knowing how many you could be attacked by, would be rather foolish surely

See Boris wants us all to go the cinema but we can’t go watch live sports. They wanted us to “eat out to help out”, and then blamed the public for the rise in Covid cases.
