Snippets from UK: In the grip of football fever, Britain drops the ball on Kovid

Packed Wembley left open target for virus: England can lose at Wembley in more ways than one. Well, even before the end of the game, the stadium suffered heavy damage due to social distancing. Fans had thronged since morning for the game, which began 12 hours later. By evening, there was so much crowd outside the stadium that even walking became difficult. Most didn’t have tickets, they were meant to be close to history and party after. Thousands of people came in concentration, who may have left behind anything at the Kumbh Mela or at an election rally in India. This came when the cases were increasing rapidly. Crowds can significantly add to that growth.

Leakage Condition: Certainly England fans at Wembley did more than any mass Indian gathering at the Kumbh Mela or an election rally to convert the space around Wembley into an open-air toilet. Thousands of fans gathered around the stadium drinking beer throughout the day. that had to go somewhere. And it didn’t go the way of some of the outdoor toilets that were installed. A queue of two or three was also refusing and perhaps indicating a very long wait. So every wall and street served a purpose. This was in full view of the police, which usually attacked any such activity. But in strength, as they were, they were too little to think about stopping the ways of the fans, and then their beer.

Pasta Sight: It was perhaps not out of the expected sentiment from England fans that they should have made bad noises about the Italians, with some rude suggestions as to where the pasta might be stored. But it looked like fans had no hesitation about getting some pasta for themselves. It proved to be quite popular with two Italian restaurants across from the stadium, which served pasta to fans busy throughout the day.

Grind it up and beer it: An event like this football final played in England will long be remembered by everyone who was there, if not in the happiest way, except the small smattering of Italian fans carefully kept away from the English fans. The Gujarati shopkeepers scattered around Wembley were the happiest, and so with the fans’ approach and exit routes. He had clearly stocked his beer and his snacks to go with it. There are queues outside all these shops throughout the day. Whoever won or lost in the stadium, it was the day of their small victories.

Covishield Puzzle: The UK’s decision to end the quarantine requirement for double-vaccinated people returning from amber list countries should now lead to a move to see India move from red to amber. Most vaccines in India have Covishield, as do many in the UK, who have received five million doses of it, even if they don’t call it Covishield. If people with its double shot in the UK can travel without needing to quarantine, so can Indians who have had a double shot of the same vaccine. That logic hasn’t led to a policy change yet, with Delta’s ‘Indian’ version of The Hangover still fresh.
