The problem with that is, it will feed in to the paranoid conspiracy theorists even more as 'evidence' that they are being suppressed from spreading '
the truth'.
I spoke to some people in the UK yesterday. At least three different households, possibly four, all getting together for a meal last night. I said "
I thought you weren't supposed to be doing that?" They replied "
oh, we're just doing our own thing now". They've said for a long time, since Cummings lied about his wife's birthday trip to Barnard Castle, that if the government aren't sticking to the rules, why should they? I suspect there is a huge proportion of the population that are doing just that.
The government remain clueless. A pandemic was the number one identified risk to the country in the last 'Risk Register' (it was annually reviewed up to 2017, when the government stopped it). Identify the risk, then do nothing to plan for it or mitigate it? That's beyond incompetence, it is negligence.
If we're lucky, small numbers will get back to see games before the end of the season (circa 500 I would think), perhaps shortly after Christmas. Knowing our luck, we'll get to the Third Round of the FA Cup and draw Liverpool at home. It will be played the week before any fans can get in!
We will never forget our Centenary, that's for sure!
