Going Back to the City Ground

[Joe Baker's Dog]

Having considered the risks and rewards, I think that I shall be attending all the games I am able.
The risk is that I may contract Covid, and at 67 that may not be a walk in the park to recover from.
However, I have had my 2 vaccinations with the Pfizer vaccine, and I shall wear a mask and gloves, and carry a bottle of hand sanitiser.
I shall also continue to avoid social contact at other times (suits me as I am generally happier with the company of myself, my missus, and our hounds).
I don't think I can take any other mitigating steps.
How many years will the virus hold sway?
If I don't contract the virus, or if I do and survive, then how long should I give up on what I believe makes life worth living?
I do not want to be at death's door from a non-Covid cause, and be there thinking "I wish I'd not given in to COVID, and resumed my enjoyment of life".
I shall continue to avoid close proximity to the infirm elderly, and anyone with serious underlying health conditions, but a week on Wednesday I shall be taking my seat, alongside my gorgeous wife to watch us progress to the next round of the League Cup.

How come you didn't get the Astra Zeneca vaccine? I had both jabs and caught covid a month ago. It wasn't pleasant and I still haven't got my sense of smell back...I think we should wear masks in enclosed spaces....but not when we're in our seats...2 guys behind me in Block R wore masks yesterday for the whole game.

Older people got Pfizer, so the stats will say how many older lives were saved.

Middle aged got AZ as no one cares about them, so they get the cheapest available.

Younger age groups got Pfizer or Moderna, as they are the loudest group and more like to kick off.

I have a daughter in law that isn’t protected due to having been pregnant. She’ll be jabbed once she’s recovered from the birth, but that’s going to take some time until she has the protection that we double jabbed folk have.
So yes, I’m thinking of other folk that I mix with

My daughter is pregnant and double jabbed, I thought that one of the jabs has been approved for pregnant women?

They have, they even rolled out Carrie to try and push that the other day...

There could be another reason why she can't have it.

She was advised by 3 different midwives to not have the jab during pregnancy. You listen to the experts.

But saying that, her brother is a scientist working for one of the leading pharmaceutical companies and he told her it was safe.

Now baby is born she’ll be getting the jab when she’s feeling well enough.

Midwives are most certainly not vaccine experts.

Midwives are most certainly not vaccine experts.

But know a bit about unborn babies….
