Feels a bit premature... both the full crowds and the Usman/Masvidal rematch. Time will tell though - it'll help provide insight into the effect of bringing back crowds. Hopefully not at the cost of more unnecessary deaths. The main event not so insightful. Masvidal still likely to be mauled. |

He'll have more than 7 days notice this time, and he knows usmans foot stomps can't hurt him, with the crowd rooting for him, I reckon it'll be a good fight. |

Whenever I see a foot stomp I just want to see the stomper getting flattened. Save it for a barn dance. Ach, it'll probably be a decent round/round and a half again, but Usman is too good a wrestler. I reckon he'll grind Street Jesus down then take him out.
Would rather have seen Masvidal get a win to fight his way back to a title shot. Shouldn't be given a crack at the belt off the back of a loss... even if he did Dana a favour taking that short notice fight. |

I feel the real problem is usman is a heavy welterweight, where masvidal is a blown up light weight.
But I really want jorge to win, and id LOVE to be in that arena to see it. |

"Im not sure how I feel in regards to the virus, but the thought of a full capacity venue with a proper atmosphere on april 24th sounds awesome to me!!"
And high likelihood of spread from Covid... We need to be very careful at this time.
In Liverpool a football match happened - people died during that outbreak.
Cheltenham - open air - with crowds still early days of covid and it spread like a wildfire with local area outbreaks. |

Agreed, that's why im not sure about it, but its in late April, maybe America's vaccine program will have it covered by then? |

To be fair, it doesn't take a genius to predict what any leader is going to say. It's a bit like asking a football manager if they can win their next match... They are never going to say.... "no we are really shit and will bet humped"... Boris is going to try and keep spirits up. Not saying its right.... But its what they seem to do. For me.. Not a a scientist and not a politician but the "plan" started too soon and is too aggressive. We've suffered much... Let's not piss it away now. |

It will lead to more death, the so called British varient is rife let alone the Brazil one which is even more infectious.. |

What I think will happen is boris will open everything up , he will then say later on infection rates have increased and then do another roll out of vaccines to the younger generation... watch this space  |

It was far more likely that spread came from the bars on the course and in the town after each day. |

It *is* awesome.
If you are virus that propagates by prolonged and close human contact.
Aided and abetted by the aerosolisation and spread of microdroplets through thousands of hot, sweaty humans chanting exuberantly at full volume next to each other.
Further assisted by the dubious bathroom habits of others smearing their covid-ridden germs all over the toilet doors and handles.
And given further impetus when the pre and after match alcohol flows freely and inhibitions and guards are let down.
For a virus that positively and absolutely relies on humans to spread itself, it is the most awesome news since this pandemic began.
And I have no doubt that for the disease modellers it will provide much needed information to work with as the guinea pigs dutifully line up for the experiment.
I just hope and pray that it doesn't end in an own goal. For either side.

"Awesome news.
Herd immunity ROCKS "
Until you dig deeper and realise that the narrative on "herd immunity" is on decidedly shaky ground and looks more and more like a "soundbite" for the hard-of-thinking.
Source : www.nature.com
What’s happening in Brazil offers a cautionary tale. Research published in Science suggests that the slowdown of COVID-19 in the city of Manaus between May and October might have been attributable to herd-immunity effects (L. F. Buss et al. Science 371, 288–292; 2021).
The area had been severely hit by the disease, and immunologist Ester Sabino at the University of São Paulo, Brazil, and her colleagues calculated that more than 60% of the population had been infected by June 2020.
According to some estimates, that should have been enough to get the population to the herd-immunity threshold, but in January Manaus saw a huge resurgence in cases.
This spike happened after the emergence of a new variant known as P.1, which suggests that previous infections did not confer broad protection to the virus.
“In January, 100% of the cases in Manaus were caused by P.1,” Sabino says.
Scarpino suspects that the 60% figure might have been an overestimate. Even so, he says, “You still have resurgence in the face of a high level of immunity.”
***
This comment here : "In January, 100% of the cases in Manaus were caused by P.1" lends weight that novel variants can blow "herd-immunity" out of the water.
