Your attitude is, of course, why covid is still running rampant in the western world.

Having someone like you actually working in health care is truly dangerous.
And who cares if it is? What do you expect, for these players and coaches to spend all day in the team facility wearing fucking masks? To practice wearing masks? It’s a fucking contact sport.

If you’re worried about Covid, you are welcome to stay home or wear a mask or whatever you want. There’s no reason for the rest of us to care, and you won’t be missed. Hell, London would become a vastly better place to live if all the over-70s just… left.

There should ALWAYS have been more asked of people who were actually at risk than from the general population, but that’s a different issue. At this point the pandemic is over, Covid is here to stay as another mild infectious virus, and no one should be required to change their life in any way because of it.
