I'm not sure of the age range at Fratton Park but most of football includes large number of young male adults, which are the group leaving themselves and then those around them more vulnerable (the more infections = the more likely number of variants. .
The situation is improving but this is a big issue as we head into the football season.
People in the age range you speak of have a much higher risk of dying from something else than Covid Hammie. All the significant age ranges have been double jabbed and everyone else has been given the option of a jab. They can’t be forced to have one, so it’s for them to make the choice.
Having the jab does not prevent infection does it? It just means the effects will be less severe.
As for variants, all viruses mutate, hence the requirement of annual flu jabs.
Meanwhile, 50,000 dementia diagnoses have been missed and there have been 300,000 fewer hospital admissions for cancer. God knows how many heart problems, diabetes diagnoses etc. have been missed. There are also millions of operations that have not taken place. Covid is a long way down the list of our concerns at the moment.
