    picked up in news today:

    Patrick Bamford - donates £5k so local Nursery can buy iPads for home tutoring- fair play to him, some may say not a lot for a footballer, but still a great gesture IMO.

    VAR - because it’s only used in PL, any teams not from PL playing at home have to pay for the technology, usually £10K but this season ‘only’ £5k due to no crowds. Clubs like Blackpool & Plymouth probably need every penny, surely the FA could have sorted this out at this time.

    Covid Vaccine, just been on Radio 2 the vaccine does not stop you contracting or spreading the disease, just stops you getting ill.

    Vaccine's are to boost your immune system to fight infection. They never have stopped you getting a disease.

    They can't win really can they? Unless theyre living in a terraced house and donating 95% of their salary people will still moan about it.

    Not you specifically sorry, just the fact that he has made a nice gesture and people can't just see it as that without digging into finances etc.

    I'm sure a lot of footballers probably do tonnes for charity and just keep it anonymous for this very reason.

    This is a possibility, may be a probability but not definite.

    Basically, a vaccine is a "heads up" to your immune system to create antibodies to be ready fight the infection not an impregnable shield. This means that depending how good your immune response is, the virus may be wiped out as soon as it invades which would prevent it getting into cells and replicating, in which case there would be a very low chance of passing the infection on. Any lesser immune response would result in some virus replication thereby increasing the chances of passing it on.

    I'm not sure how much people know what the difference is between bacterial infections and viral infections, but here's a brief description.

    Bacteria can reproduce on their own as long as they have some nutrients and a temperature which suits their metabolism. They are living organisms and can be killed by antibiotics.

    Viruses are packages of DNA or RNA and are actually more akin to chemical molecules. They are not strictly alive and cannot reproduce on their own. They reproduce by invading host cells and using the cell's reproductive abilities (cell division) to create copies of themselves which then emerge from the cell to invade other cells. They are not affected by antibiotics.
