Genuine question; what does this actually mean for the reopening of football grounds? Obviously the 1,800 to 2,200 capacity mooted is a bigger number than 6 (I’m literally that good at maths), but in the case of Town we’ve been quite clear in limiting ‘bubbles’ to a maximum of 6.
For instance, under these new rules you could easily have many groups of 6 sitting in a pub or restaurant, or walking round a park or zoo - what about sporting arenas?
There are some differences between those scenarios, in particular a large number of people trying to arrive at the same place at the same time, but it doesn’t seem immediately clear what this means for live sport.

You are right Tashee, there is a lot more testing now compared to when the virus first arrived here, so you are not comparing like for like. The other point is that you only get tested if you are showing symptoms, so you are more likely to find it. You cannot get tested if you haven't any symptoms.

Symptoms. There's new symptoms every day. Soon you'll be advised to get tested if you stub your toe or have a wet fart.

Who the intercourse knows? It’s all becoming increasingly wishy washy, more so than it has so far.
I mean I’ll give them some credit, they’ve been consistently clueless throughout the whole thing.
As for sorting events, who knows? I’d imagine the bubbles of no more than 6 is standard across the stadiums so that shouldn’t make a difference. It’s an outdoor event too which, as they’ve told us several times, being outdoors is better than inside.
I find it odd that these things are being enforced at future dates; if the issue is real then enforce it from now, not in a weeks time.
Poojah makes a good point about people arriving at the same time to enter the stadium but I’m sure among that thesis of a ST pack it mentions or suggests a staggered entry time, where ST will be given a time frame they have to arrive by. I’m not sure this is either sensible or worthwhile but it might go a long way to explain how they’ll do it.
From my point of view, assuming you’re given a time frame of sat 2pm to 2:15pm, that’s a long time for someone just to sit and wait. They’ve said bars and food outlets are unlikely to be open. A captive audience and nobody benefits...

There’s been quite a few people tested positive that showed no signs of having it.
That's the worrying bit for me. Incidentally I'm sure you have to display symptoms before you can get a test anyway. All the drunk twits ignoring social distancing in the pubs, don't have symptoms and therefore don't give a excrement as 'it won't kill me I'm young and fit(tish)' are the problem As far as the figures are concerned you are right. The increase in numbers getting tested inevitably leads to higher positives. Positive tests as a percentage of tests performed would be a better indicator of the possible re-emergence of the virus

That's partly true. A month or so ago, I had something that wiped me out. No cough or fever, but I was sleeping all day every day. Don't know if it was or wasn't covid but I couldn't get a test because it wasn't the prime symptoms. But I had to get a test last week when in the hospital as part of test and trace, even though I had absolutely nothing wrong with me.
