Mr Angry 1,561 Posted September 29, 2021 Were they doing spot checks at Everton? The bloke in front of me was showing something on his phone to a steward but I wasn’t asked to show anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not when travelling to the UK from abroad, even from low risk countries - even if you're double vaxxed. You have to order a 'special' one by post and take it on the 2nd day of your arrival, and by special, I mean it costs about £65 at the cheapest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although seems a bit of a grey area - both morally and legally - to determine whether you could fly in on the day of the match, attend with a negative lateral flow, and then take the (PCR) test after. In short, it would be a right pain in the bum to sort out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr Greenthumb 749 Posted September 29, 2021 5 hours ago, Capt. Pants said: The inference is they are permanently on. If at concerns you just delete the app. I don't think gov't cares about Covid anymore and are happy to let it rip providing the NHS aren't overwhelmed. Given gov't has also moved back from vaccine passports it is surprising football clubs might insist on them. It's no big deal to comply though. Thanks for that, you know I was just using some light humour though? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

City 2nd 191 Posted September 29, 2021 20 hours ago, Iwans Big Toe said: The bubonic plague was serious 40-50% of Europe died from it. The death rate for covid is rarely reported, it's always 'number of infections'. If you are under 75 the chance of you dying from covid is less than 3% (and I'm being generous there), and that's if you're one of the 230m (or 1 in 30) people world wide who caught covid. If you want to know the total deaths reported worldwide, download the WHO (World Health Organisation) App. All the Covid info is there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
