Before the thread is locked. You do know that the figure of 98% (with 83 years being the average age of the 2%) is read by many, well almost certainly our beloved moderator, as “HELP, We are all going to die”.
But seriously, if wearing a mask, a visor, goggles,gloves, hard hat, factor 50, waterproofs, steel toecaps, gumshield, ear defenders plus flippers and a life jacket (should a gust of wind blow us into the river Calder while perilously walking up Doncaster road) plus Jab Vista, (or are we still on jab DOS 1) then it'll all be worth it, especially if it “saves just one life.”
But beware the carnage on our roads as you travel to Belle Vue, I haven't left the house since I saw the following on the trusted BBC.
“According to the World Health Organization, road traffic injuries caused an estimated 1.35 million deaths worldwide in, for example, 2016."
That is, one person is killed every 25 seconds.
Every 25 seconds by Jove, Surely that's worth a worldwide lockdown in anyone's eyes??? Lets face it, “if it saves just one life.”

Doesn't surprise that the average age is 83 but had we gone down your preferred way of dealing with it with the cull it may of been a lot lower, I'd rather take each life as serious as each other than just label anyone over 83 just a statistic.

Nice to hear that the deaths have been reduced with those that have received the two vaccinations but then we know your stance on that don't we

Ever get the feeling of deja vu ?

More than 12 months down the line and it's like we're starting over. IIRC Leeds refusal to travel to Catalan was one of the first postponements of last season (I know that there have already been some postponements this season)

Yes there were postponements last week

I was trying to show that weve gone 15 months since the Leeds v Catalan game was postponed last season, to where we are this week.
All the pain, suffering and futility of the lockdowns and we're back to where we were.
Yes, there is a vaccine but, the world is a long way from being on top of the situation.

We will never be "on top" of it....
It's a mutating virus - just like the Flu.

I realise that it wont go away but, there is a difference between having 1000's of new cases every day and "a couple of hundred"

There should be no relegation this season. Because of covid Leeds have avoided St and Catalans .A team could get in top 5 by not playing the top teams ,and a team could get religated by not playing the lesser clubs
