Indoor sports matches etc like the darts which has just been on. 3000 people under one roof. Would you feel ok going to it as things are?

I do. But I live in Spain. Really don't think I would feel as confident back in the UK

HesterShaw1 · 06/01/2022 15:15

Yes.

littlepeas · 06/01/2022 15:19

Yes. I’d be happy for everyone to be maskless too.

TeapotCollection · 06/01/2022 15:19

No

IndigoC · 06/01/2022 15:20

Nope.

user014572 · 06/01/2022 15:20

does a classroom count?

MaxNormal · 06/01/2022 15:21

Yes.

CharlotteRose90 · 06/01/2022 15:23

If everyone wore masks yes if not no. Going to a crowded event massless was how I caught covid so nope never again

luckylavender · 06/01/2022 15:24

No

The2Omicronnies · 06/01/2022 15:24

Yes definitely

gogohm · 06/01/2022 15:25

Yes it's fine , been to big indoor gigs.

WheelieBinPrincess · 06/01/2022 15:25

Yeah, definitely, I’ve got a few coming up.

Newuser82 · 06/01/2022 15:26

Yes, have a few booked also.

Plump82 · 06/01/2022 15:26

I went to a concert in the Hydro in Glasgow. 14k capacity. Hardly anyone wearing a mask and I didn't get covid.

YerAWizardHarry · 06/01/2022 15:26

I went to the theatre a couple weeks before Christmas and there was 3,000 of us. Didn’t feel risky then but probably would now..

Anawi · 06/01/2022 15:26

Right now? Probably. But only because we have all just had covid, presumably Omicron over christmas. Today was my first day out of isolation (still feel lousy) so rightly or wrongly I feel like the odds of catching it again in the next few weeks at least are slim. Sad

SirChenjins · 06/01/2022 15:27

Nope. Know too many people who have caught covid after going to big events- it’s just not worth it imo.

hamstersarse · 06/01/2022 15:27

Yes, and no masks required as far as I'm concerned

thewhatsit · 06/01/2022 15:28

Yes.

‘Worth it’ is relative though isn’t it? It might not be worth it to you but there are events that would definitely be worth it for me whether I caught covid or not.
Tal45 · 06/01/2022 15:30

Yes we're going to the theatre at the weekend, but i'm happy to wear a mask and will be pissed off if others don't or if they just take them off after 5 minutes.

Skinnytailedsquirrel · 06/01/2022 15:30

No even although I'm triple vaxxed I don't want to catch it and suffer long covid.

ufucoffee · 06/01/2022 15:30

Yes. Was in crowded pubs and restaurants over Xmas. I'm not worried and expect to get it at some point.

vickyc90 · 06/01/2022 15:31

Yup not bothered about catching COVID because it's inevitable anyway so might aswell enjoy myself

Aposterhasnoname · 06/01/2022 15:33

Yes. Already have. And I’m off to London tomorrow, to the theatre. Can’t wait.
