Agreed - we (I!) need a game. But I'd rather it was a post-Covid crowd...

Yearly vaccinations will help but there will always be some deaths even as there are with flu. Give it a few more months and the media will stop reporting the daily figures and it will seem like any other illness that does the rounds every year.

People may or may not know that this virus mutates and does this to exist.
We will have mitigate our exposure to it.

Aided and abetted by your mate Johnson keeping borders open to get a poor trade deal with India, as he tries to salvage something from the brexit you supported. Mitigate exposure.... Control our borders anyone?

Southend playing a “West Ham XI” the evening before us. Wonder who will get the first team; or will it be a mix including triallists, playing half of each game?

Of course there will be a post-Covid time. My parents' generation had diphtheria and polio, my generation had measles and rubella, and before all that, people regularly died from a host of viruses (smallpox, for instance). Yet my kids have had none of these, in fact they've never had an illness more severe than a cold or a tummy upset - they have no idea what it is like to be so ill that you have a fever for days. And why is this? Vaccinations.
Why should Covid be any different?
The constant comparison to flu is largely a false one, because flu is fairly unique in that it mutates radically enough to defeat previous vaccinations. Covid shows no signs of doing this. It mutates, of course, all viruses do (all life forms do), but the vaccinations developed against the alpha strain are just as effective against the later ones - in fact they are more effective against the delta mutation.
Covid is causing so much trouble mainly because it is new - so there was no natural immunity to it - and because it is highly infectious. Not to mention the cack-handed way the government has tried to deal with it. Once we reach herd immunity, the virus will no longer have enough non-immune people to keep it going and it will (effectively) disappear. Just like smallpox, diphtheria, etc, etc.
If the government had delayed the ending of all restrictions another month or so and not allowed the vaccination programme to decline the way they have (we should have had all adults immunised by now), we would have reached that point by late summer.
We do not have to ‘learn to live with it’, we can eliminate it – we just need the people ‘in charge’ to understand what they are doing and to care more about people’s welfare than they do about their crazy libertarian ideology.

Will there be a live stream to this game? I also have a Southend supporting friend here in HK so we are both interested.

T Wells game against Gillingham tonight has been called off due to a covid case in the Gills squad. This just can be sustainable once the season starts if teams are constantly having to cancel?
