We are being "encouraged" to wear a mask

Quoted from lew chaterleys lover

I don't know whether you find it difficult to follow arguments, but what I am arguing for is the exact opposite to that.

Grown people should be able to make their own choices in accordance with the current law.

Compare and contrast that with somebody like Bobby Cummings Tackle who fell into the trap of saying people were too flipping thick or selfish and don't give a excrement about others till I pointed out that most Town fans enjoyed the Cleethorpes game without masks or social distancing.

I don’t know whether you find it difficult to read simple statements but the club has ‘encouraged’ people to wear a mask. It is not being enforced. Grown people are being allowed to make their own choices in accordance with the current law.

It’s astonishing that the ones who moan about lefties and snowflakes all the time are the ones perpetually offended or trying their best to find anything to be upset about.

Quoted from Hagrid

99%?! Not a chance

But i agree with your reasoning, i do tests 3 times a week, i wont wear a mask whilst the game is in progress but walking round the stadium with the high rates in our area i’ll have one on

There are higher rates whilst walking around but not when you are sat down? Does Chris Whitty know?

There will be endless versions of this and other behaviour, from those who refuse to wear a mask in any setting or those who will keep it on all the time. Like I tried to point out at the start, let people decide what they are comfortable with as long as they are acting within the law.  

Quoted from aldi_01

Unless they bother getting tested they’ll probably never know either…

Perhaps so, perhaps not. But a chance that they'll get some sort of an idea when their parents or grandparents, or the immunosuppressed bloke they sit next to at work with starts coughing...

No data available as yet as regards how likely asymptomatic infections are with the Delta variant but, given that the viral load seems so much higher, I'd be surprised if they were as common as with earlier variants. I expect it will become clearer in due course.

There are known examples of fully-vaccinated people infecting others with this variant as well. Something to consider if you don't want to wear a mask and think you're not a risk because you're fully vaccinated. With infection rates as crazily high as they are at present, I'll be continuing to wear masks inside for the foreseeable future, at least until this wave is either brought under control or peters out. Could be a couple of months yet and I imagine I'll probably not be going to the first few matches of the season. I'm trying my best to avoid my young children and parents catching it so wouldn't want to get it then pass it on to them. Better safe than sorry.

They want you to wear a mask that is why you were encouraged to do so. Just to reinforce the message they also said proof of vaccination or a negative test were not needed at this stage.

It is no business of theirs whether people use a mask or not under the current law. People like Bobby Cummings Tackle will be thinking anybody unmasked at the game is a flipping thick selfish so and so which is obviously nonsense.

I sit with my family members.

That is what I am arguing for. If you feel unsafe, don't go, but let others enjoy the freedoms allowed by law if they want to, and don't judge people by whether they are wearing a mask in an outdoor setting.

Quoted from Hagrid

I sit with my family members.

Do you have a very large family that occupy the rows in front and behind and to the side? Are you going to ask all of them to wear a mask, or to give proof of a negative test? The whole thing is a nonsense.

I'll accept their right to not wear a mask during this big surge in infections, but I'll also reserve the right to think they are selfish arses if they do so. Putting a minor inconvenience to yourself ahead of the health of others is pretty reprehensible, in my view.

Obviously, I don't believe all the anti-vaxx, anti-mask, anti-lockdown, GBD stuff propagated by many dodgy characters on social media, so I realise the viewpoints of others who lap up that bullshit may differ.

I'll be wearing a mask because you all f'cking stink, quite frankly.

So you think that all the Town fans maskless at Cleethorpes are selfish arses? It is not a true characterisation, is it?
