iFollow......or not

Everything on the GTFC website still points towards iFollow.

When does it cease to be, now that we are out of the EFL?

No idea but I cancelled my subscription 3 weeks ago.

The Southend website also still points to iFollow, just saying.

It's already been confirmed that audio commentary is gonna be free on BBC, so if you're on about the £5 per month one then you may as well cancel now. I can't imagine overseas people will be getting streams through iFollow either, but I could be wrong I guess.

Personally not convinced we'll stay with 100% capacity at stadiums for the full season, wouldn't surprise me if at some point a return to restrictions are brought in.  Make no mistake we're at the start of a third wave.  

With that in mind I wonder if there are provisions under way to stream games at this level.  Fully appreciate it's a very difficult task with some of the infrastructure at some grounds.

I doubt there will be any restrictions reintroduced this winter. This (so called) government introduced restrictions because of hospitalisations & the stop the NHS collapsing and not because of infection numbers.

Vaccination has broken the link between infection and hospitalisation. The government won’t be bothered with infection rate as long as hospitals aren’t at threat of being overrun.

I’m abroad and I follow have told me that they’re will be no coverage. 45 quid has come out of my account which I presume is just for highlights and interviews but I’m not
100 percent sure .

Vaccination has not broken the link though it has weakened it. Hospitalisation cases are rising but at a lower rate. If this continues then the pressure on the NHS will become significant. This will be especially if we see an increase in flu hospitalisations which could occur due to more social contact.

Until the vast majority of the population is double vaccinated then the risk of a significant increase in hospitalisation cases is still present. If that was to occur then restrictions could be reintroduced although this is probably remote. To ensure that this is prevented then you need to achieve a vaccination rate of 90 - 95% given the delta variant and its transmission rate.

I am not sure of the point you are making. Of course restrictions were introduced because of hospitalisations and to stop the NHS from being overwhelmed. What other matrix would be used?  

The government have indeed broken the link between infections and hospitalisations, which means that irrespective of infection numbers we can get back to normality, albeit gradually.

As I work in the acute healthcare provider sector I would like to state that the link has not been broken as the numbers being admitted tell a  different story. Current levels of admission are now at their highest for a number of months and the number of daily admissions continue to increase. The "pressure" is rising and the number of admissions on a daily basis is also rising so can we say the link is broken and restrictions will not come back? Simply answer is not yet.
