Equally France has an extremely high rate at the moment yet British rugby teams were allowed to travel there for European Cup matches at the weekend. Got to blame rugby for all this then as doctors and scientists have confirmed C19 reached Scotland via a rugby fans who had been at a match in Italy and unknowingly brought it home with him.

If 1000 folk can't get to attend the 'British' Final it's not the end of the world. Getting on top of the pandemic has to be the priority. At the end of the day speedway is still just a sport and although Ipswich and BSPA have put a lot of work into preparing for a meeting there are greater priorities in life. Covid 19 is out of control so why are measures not been brought in immediately rather than October as quoted? Surely it would be better having a couple of months full lockdown now and perhaps some level of Christmas and New Year can be salvaged and families can get together and businesses saved. Covid is out of control you say. Interesting. Week ending 14th September: Deaths involving Covid-19: 98 (up from 79) Deaths involving Flu/Pneumonia: 1127 (up from 874). We are heading towards winter. Death from respiratory viruses are going to increase, they do EVERY SINGLE YEAR. Christmas and New Year sees very high levels of deaths, far far higher that what we are seeing at the moment and far far higher than anything we have seen this year other than the couple of weeks when Covid was at its peak. If you are advocating a lockdown now, then we should be locked down in the winter months every single year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinderfella Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 Just like you I have an opinion. It's just out opinions obviously differ. Some folk think we do go into lockdown every winter as there is no speedway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenga Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) its been announced this morning that the powers that be are thinking/proposing sports venues to have no public in the Stadiums , grounds when events are taking place .. plus less deaths will happen in this winter period because most of the fragile people have been taken from us before winter kicks in .

The fact you get so worked up about them because they contradict what the media has told you speaks volumes. Keep scaremongering..

Fair point but I don’t think fit is the correct word, panic and poor decisions seem more appropriate!! Anyway, hopefully the meeting goes ahea.

I haven't mentioned anything to do with following or not following the law. I have asked you, what you disagree with in the facts I have posted. Once again, you are unable to disagree with anything. Here's another fact for you. Death Certs mentioning Covid-19 this year: 51,917 Death Certs mentioning Flu/Pneumonia this year: 73,770 Again, official stats taken from the ONS.. although the flu/pneumonia figure is higher as a lot of certificates have both Covid and Flu recorded on them, but are only included as Covid on the figure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
