| QPR/Covid what a bloody surprise!! 17:34 - Dec 12 with 29017 views | PlanetHonneywood |
I was at QPR on Thursday, popping into both the club shop and box office. Mask wearing and distancing among staff was conspicuous by its absence.
Seeing as the off-field staff are likely to have more contact with players and those who come into contact with the players, you’d think these simple measures would be applied.
Utter joke! [Post edited 12 Dec 2021 19:39]

Isnt that level of complacency GB wide? |  |

Bang on Kevin!
Moving from Qatar to France in June, mask wearing has been appreciably higher. Not total of course, but since landing in London last week, people are simply not wearing masks and so transmission is an obvious consequence.
But as a taxi driver said to me: when you don’t see the government following their own advice, what do people expect?
He’s right of course, and while I accept it’s annoying and after two years I’m fed up with masks, but it’s not bloody hard. | |

I'm not surprised at all. Little mask wearing at games. Players not just hugging each other but fans and the opposition too. Manager and coaching staff too, except the wise medics. Been surprised there has not been more earlier. |  | | |

It's really difficult to implement in this country. We have a great climate.
I mean no hugging. Who wants that? | |

Very little chance of catching it in the open air so no reason to wear a mask at games | | | |

Not going to get back into the COVID thread, but it may be outside with great ventilation, but you are still cramped in and will be inhaling stuff from the people around you.
But, what the government has done is left it open to individuals to decide. You think it's low enough risk, you go for it. I won't, but that doesn't make me right and you wrong.
Not enough mask wearing at the games in my opinion... |  |

We have almost 100% mask wearing compliance in the Republic, over 90% fully vaccinated, yet Covid has been rampant for weeks - that was BEFORE omicron. Love a drink as much as the next man, but once you open pub/clubs, you might as well throw your hat at it. | | | |

Have to say to be 5th with our injury list and now having games in hand, feels like a bit of touch. Hope Saturday's not cancelled though. But if it is, probably even more of a touch. |  |

Comparative risk of catching covid wearing v not wearing. | |

Read a lot about this new variant being very contagious but not how many cases are actually in hospitals. The people in power seem to be ignoring it themselves. Wonder if anything to do with the fact that next year they have ordered enough vaccine to inoculate every man, woman. child, baby etc seven times. Somebody is making a heck of a lot of money out of this. Had my 3 jabs but there are some doubts beginning to form for me. |  | | |

For the Covid thread perhaps but I have read .many tests showing Covid spreads In the air, less outdoors than in but it spreads, and especially far in cool dry climates rather than hot, humid ones. Also spreads further when exercising and breathing harder like some footballers do!
Here in S.E Asia you have to wear a mask when you leave home, go out, not just when you go in to another building. Where these nonsensical ideas come from in Europe apart from culture I've no idea. Obviously they cannot play in masks but everybody else in the stadium should be.

This thread shows how brainwashed the masses have been into being 'disgusted' by allowing people small freedoms.
Sad really. | | | |

How are France doing with cases, given their mask wearing & segregating of society through health passports? You'd Imagine they would be a lot better than the UK? | | | |

I love a conspiracy theory Davie but to be honest when the medical people are saying it too I take notice. |  | | |

Well we have only had reported cases in the UK for just over two weeks. Maybe check the South African figures to see how it could spread. | | | |

I really doubt the players are interacting that much with the club shop and the box office given they train at Hounslow |  | | |

Kind of where I am with it now. Even so I’ll be getting my booster next month and I’ll comply with the rules the best I can. | |

In addition, how the press are not onto the fact that we have bought millions of tests from China yet are causing obstacle after obstacle for UK made tests to get approval is beyond me. I can only conclude they are complicit. Must be some huge backhanders going on and I hope at some stage it comes out. | | | |

This! Even pre-COVID, there was very little interaction between players and staff at Harlington and personnel at Loftus Road.
Pretty unhelpful and uninformed thread. |  | | |
