Rotherham game..

How long has it been 9 days? I know that people who had been in contact with someone who had tested positive had the self isolation period reduced from 14 days to 10 days because Christmas was coming up and it was inconvenient but I didn't know it had been reduced to 9. Or is this special footballer rules?

 

They last trained on the 18th and shut down since then with the EFL telling them they can restart training 2 days before the game which is 27th so 9 days but I've no idea where 9 days comes from

 

Isolate after a positive test for 7 days if symptomatic

Isolate after a positive test for 14 days if non symptomatic. Retested at Day 7 and 10. two negatives means they can return to training straight away. Otherwise its isolate for 14 days

Symptoms and negative test isolate for 14 days .

its a maximum of 48 hours between testing and notification .

 

Me too. It's clearly unfair on Rotherham and it's needlessly putting our players and back room staff at risk of catching the virus. To play it is just bonkers.

I have a lot of problems with the measures taken to combat the virus and the restrictions put in place, but at no point have I thought sending people to places where we know for certain an outbreak is taking place is a good idea. I can't for the life of me understand this.

 

Sorry if this has been on the 65 Rotherham threads......

Just seen the Press blowk who's just interviewed Warne. He's fuming.

* 5 confirmed cases
* 6th probably announced later
* 5 long term injuries
* 3 in quarantine
* another to possibly follow later
* 1 in self isolation
* probably only 3-4 young uns on bench

Gotta say if it was us id want it postponed.

 

It changes all the time depending on what is convenient. Initially it was just the person sat next to them, then it became friends who they sat with at lunchtime too, then people in front and behind too then eventually the whole class if it's the lower years as they spend all day in the same room with no masks on together but for the higher years who move around it's still just the ones in the vicinity otherwise they'd be sending home 5 classes each time.

The stupidest bit though is that they ask staff if they have been in contact with someone without them both wearing a mask and if they say no then they don't self isolate but if they say yes then they self isolate but get a formal warning for not wearing one. So, obviously, no-one ever says yes after the first week when some staff got into trouble and so keep going to work potentially spreading it about. I kind of get it because people should be wearing masks but they've given so many exemptions that loads of people don't when they clearly (to me) should. There should probably be an amnesty otherwise you are putting safety against telling the truth and getting in trouble. You don't have to wear them in offices as the obvious assumption is you should be sat 2m apart but people move around all the time from their seat and don't have it on at any point whilst in their office as they've heard the rule about not needing them in offices. You don't have to wear them in classrooms unless you are going to check on a student's work and then the student and the staff member should put them on and the teacher stand behind them but the teachers are always just quickly walking up and handing out a sheet or checking something from in front and neither puts them on. All the students sat nearby are within 2m anyway and they don't have to put theirs on, just the person whose work is being checked. Interventions are going on in shared spaces all the time and masks should be worn in shared spaces but the intervention groups don't as they say it's like a classroom and work is going on so they don't have to wear them. They are all sat in a circle around one desk facing each other though without masks on and in an area where others are walking past all the time (they are happening almost full time in the library and obviously that is where I am based full time - I never take my mask off).

 

I'm surprised the Library is stil open. Not sure why really but I am.

The thing with masks shows how stupid it is. If a student tests positive why should the teacher have to isolate simply for not wearing a mask? We know masks work the opposite way round so wearing a mask wouldn't protect the teacher at all so it shouldn't make any difference if that makes sense

 

Everton v Man City to note now off. I think clubs should be allowed a couple of postponed games. Replayed later. Then any additional call offs should be forfeit. Keeps everyone safe and in fact drives safe environments and measures in place.

 

Apologies if this has already been covered, but we have about twenty threads about the Rotherham game: what's the difference between Rotherham and Sunderland's situations?

Sunderland have had 3/4 games called off. Is it because they have a smaller squad in League One, or are they just willing to take the punishment, that Rotherham want to avoid? There doesn't seem to be much consistency applied.

 

It probably will be postponed, but only after we dumbos at Barnsley have all paid a tenner to watch it.

Then there'll be an announcement that we're not entitled to a refund. Force majeure or summat.

 

School libraries are open as far as I'm aware but books are being put into quarantine and pupils don't seem to be using it as a library as in browsing the shelves and choosing books or having their reading sessions in there.

 

Pessimist

 

Because Sunderland have had case after case whereas Rotherham's were all at he same time. The question there is he have Sunderland had case after case over the period of nearly a month if players were supposed to be self isolating?

 

Didn't realise they were susceptible to the virus. I hope my John Grisham's are going to be OK.

The replay will be played on a Saturday where the EFL will give special dispensation for iFollow tickets as the original game was on a Tuesday. This will lead to 2000 posts thanking the EFL for the empathy and giving the club kudos for sorting it.

 

Game needs to be cancelled

 

your forgetting it’s a Saturday game so technically they added Wed, Thursday, Fri to the isolation ;-)

 

You've got to work on your partridge in a pear tree parodies. That one doesn't even go down in numerical order.
