Mind you, nor was it 'open boozers, bookies and all sorts of other places'. But that's what happened.

Isnt the question why are the Government & (now) parts of the media still promoting it as a killer pandemic, look at the independent stats & data and you will see it is now nothing like a 'killer pandemic'

Under the softest measures in Tier 1 areas there will be a maximum crowd size of either 50 per cent stadium occupancy or 4,000 spectators – whichever number is smaller.
In the medium Tier 2 areas, the stadium rules will be 50 per cent of overall capacity or 2,000 – whichever number is smaller. Indoors, there will be a limit of 1,000 in both Tiers 1 and 2. However, for those in the strictest Tier 3 measures fans will still not be able to watch their teams live.

Hundreds of people are still dying from Covid-19 every day in the UK. Which, to me, makes it a killer.
Opening up all shops, pubs, gyms, etc. and football grounds will cause deaths to increase again. Just as loosening the lockdown caused another spike in deaths. Covid will continue to be a killer until a vaccine is widely available.
It's difficult to se any other way of understanding the situation as it stands.

Between this and the "well they won't stop me seeing my family at Christmas" brigade, it's just as well there's a vaccine on the horizon or we'd be utterly battered by this pandemic come February.
