My view is that if our best scientific advisors have said it's okay to continue playing, I'd be happy for my team to do so if they wanted to. Think this is the bit that SKY believe means only elite sports. People are being told to stay at home unless they have a specific reason to leave, such as work which cannot be done from home and education People are allowed to exercise outdoors alone, with their household or with one other person Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One assumes that grassroots football will be halted for the duration of the lockdown, thanks for clarifying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can’t say 100% but the little yellow bar on SKY ( had to wait to get the exact words ) says ‘ Elite Sports will continue but amateur sports will be put on hold ‘.

(Braking rutine with a game is nice) Yes you are right. Perhaps an increase in players testing positive might bring a halt to proceedings but for now we still have football to look forward to. Plus I can ride my bike on quiet roads again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Surfer 1,547 Posted October 31, 2020 1 hour ago, TIL 1010 said: Projected figures that deaths could rise during this second wave to 4,000 a day and some on here are concerned about football continuing. Shakes head. In a country of 360 million and 80,000 new cases a day the US is at 1,000 deaths per day, so that projection seems wildly out of whack with reality. And it is doing very little sociaL distancing, has schools and universities open and bars and restaurants and sports stadiums open at 25% capacity - unlike what the UK will now do. Yes there are States that are more restrictive, California is one example, but in those states the situation is much better than what I outlined above, i.e. the US worst case is much less than that projection.
