Mod note: Split from this thread. Please try and keep conversation here related to vaccine passports specifically, more general discussion of restrictions should go in the relevent thread.
Wasn't really sure best place for this - some more developments on the Vaccine Passports front.
Suggestion they will be expanded to cover Premier League Football and other venues with capacity above 20k from October as well as University Lecture Theaters and Halls of Residence. Your guess is as good as mine as to why going to Millwall (capacity 21k) is more dangerous than Headingley (capacity 19k) - Are you really likely to come into contact with many more people at one over the other even accounting for travel to / away from the event.
Labour seem to have completely lost the plot - KS wants tests *in addition* to passports to gain entry.
Ultimately we need to appreciate that it is the un-vaccinated who are the ones really taking the real risk in choosing to attend such gatherings. As long as they are aware of that risk then putting in more rules and restrictions for everyone else really isn't a good idea.
