Men passed the positive test in 30 percent of cases more than women, most often in the age group from 18 to 24 years, experts from Imperial College observed a certain pattern.
–
They attribute it to the football championship, but not to the fans at the stadium, but rather to people who watch the matches in pubs, or meet in larger numbers in households.
–
“Watching football matches can lead to men socializing more than usual,” said Professor Steven Riley of Imperial College.
–
“If I were to speculate on the impact of the Euro football, I would be the first to think of an increased likelihood of transmission between people mixed indoors,” he added.
–
They already know their share in Scotland that the football tournament helps coronavirus to some extent in spreading.
–
Although the local team played only three matches, hygiene managed to shake back the 1997 people who attended the championship and later developed covid-19.
–
But Riley himself added that although the Euro contributed to the spread, its culmination at Wembley is not a major factor.
–
“I attribute it more to the general behavior of the population,” says the professor. According to the data, Covid-19 is also caught three times more likely by unvaccinated individuals.

Unethical and irresponsible
Already on Monday, July 19, Britain will enter the last phase of dismantling and will not back down from the established path.
–
The government has warned in advance that it can be infected after this date up to 100,000 per day, but it will be important that the number of hospitalizations does not increase rapidly. Thanks to high vaccination, it still remains at relatively low values.
–
However, the experts are not acknowledging the retreat from any restrictions. More than four thousand scientists and doctors have written an open letter to the British government. They state in it that her decision is premature and dangerous.
–
“The government needs to rethink its strategy and take steps to protect the public. We think the government is embarking on a dangerous and unethical experiment, and we call on it to suspend its plans, “said a letter published in the medical journal The Lancet.
–
Epidemiologist Deepti Gurdasani of Queen Mary University, who is behind the letter, said the government would endanger children in particular.
–
“They will expose them to infection instead of protecting them in schools and vaccinating them. Such a move is unethical and unacceptable. Our young people have been suffering for the last year and now they will be forced to endure the consequences of this dangerous experiment, “she said.
–
Britain reported 32,548 new cases on Wednesday, almost 7,000 more than the day before. This is the highest number since January 23, and in most cases there is a more contagious variant of the delta.
