It does seem mad that rugby players, coaching staff and all the
other people who work at the stadium aren't willing to put their
lives and the lives of those around them at risk so that I can
be entertained.
Maybe they should work a few shifts picking fruit and veg for
minimum wage to see how quickly they change their minds!

Agreed but I've got a few people I'd like to nominate to take my
place though!

1. The Gov't approved Antibody tests are not yet available but
non Gov't approved ones are becoming available. These are the
tests to establish if you have already had a bout of CV19 and
recovered.
2. Tests to see if you currently have CV19 seem fairly freely
available although not all these are Gov't approved.
These are Antigen Tests and will only tell you if you currently
have CV19 NOT if you have had it previously.
3.It is unknown whether you gain any immunity from having
already had a bout of CV19. General Medical Consensus is that it
is safer to assume that any immunity gained will NOT prevent you
from suffering another bout of CV19. Especially as the virus is
already showing signs of mutating.
4. Any airborne virus "aerosols" are less dangerous than contact
with hard surfaces infected by carriers of CV19. The wearing of
a face mask is very much for the protection of other people from
YOU!
5. Younger people are less likely to die from CV19 but there is
nothing stopping them from being "SuperSpreaders" and carriers
of the Virus.
6. Social distancing is nigh on impossible to enforce,
especially in supermarkets and on public transport. Everyone
should wear a face mask and use hand gel to protect others. The
vehicles should be cleaned at the end of every journey.
7. It may seem that we have been in this crisis for a very long
time but in terms of actual medical data to be analysed and
recommended against as to how best to deal with CV19, it is
embryonic.
8. I really really hate the Media and Politicians making
statements based on 20/20 hindsight. It seriously annoys me
because some members of the Public actually believe what they
hear.
All in All, Professor Deadly says you should listen to the
Government Medical Advice, apply a huge dollop of good old
British Common Sense and stay safe in any way possible.

Even good Antigen tests have a small but significant false
positive rate.(even the really good Roche one that the
government is adopting) Given the likely prior infection rates
of Covid 19 in the population as a whole (small) then a positive
result for any individual is not conclusive. see "Base Rate
Fallacy"

If it is being said the players need 2 months to get match fit
and that indicates a start in August and I suspect that is
optimistic.
Why oh why is the need to finish this season so critical, why
not abandon and start next season on time and have any games
before the usual start as warm ups.
I know it is down to money from sponsors but the incessant push
to complete this season is madness.
1. It will mess up timings for next season and probably one
after that
2. International Windows will be messed up
3. Many players will have changed clubs at end of June
It makes more sense to me to financially write off this season,
assuming most clubs can (some seem to have enough money to make
big signing commitments still). Let's get off to a good start in
Sept for next season and get the status quo established.
Unfortunately after 3+ years of hard luck!! it looks like Exeter
suffer/miss out once again

I would feel sorry for the players that have put their bodies on
the line in games to get us through to the Premier Cup final to
be then told that we are not going to give them the possibility
of glory of lifting the cup.
In my opinion, they should try to complete.
