You could make an argument for a pause over Xmas. Given the stories in the paper clubs that expect a bumper Boxing Day or New Year crowd might not see that anyway. Could they just take two weeks out and add it to the end of the season? I guess the issue there is that if its not better by then...

Where are we at with people catching covid twice? You can get the new variant if you've had covid before but can you get the new variant more than once? Just thinking with talk of hundreds of thousands of cases a day in the near future is this the 'you could take it on the chin, take it all in...

A timely article from The BBC today given the discussion about A&E on here the last couple of days. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-59682075

Second drop of the day from Butler and that's about the worst drop you'll ever see behind the stumps.

Weather forecast for tomorrow is ridiculously hot. With Anderson and Broad knocking on a bit and Stokes not having played much cricket can't see the over rate being great. They might regret leaving Leech out just as someone to get some overs in and give them a break.

Good chance a few have been instructed by their other halves not to go and risk screwing up Christmas. There must have been people who picked it up at games before. When the ONS throw around figures like 1 in 60 people currently have it law of averages says there must be people at games with it...

I'm sure there's something in the rules already where the umpire can stop this constant flow of people coming onto the pitch. There was a hundred game in the summer where after 3 balls someone was coming on with drinks and kit!

You'd imagine clubs are telling players to have as little social contact as possible but if they'll pay any attention or not is a different matter.

Decent catch that. Looks easy but nearly took Broads hands off!

See we've taken advantage of Cummins absence but not letting the Aussies rack up a score :rolleyes:

Getting a strong sense of deja vu with other countries putting restrictions on people entering from the UK and basically being told to do what you think is best in terms of attending events. What odds on some form of lockdown in January as things have got out of control with the blame being...

Four hours until the 2nd test and reports breaking that Cummins might be out due to a covid close contact.

You didn't read the article did you? It says hospitalisations are 23% lower than the Delta variant and 5% of cases are admitted to ICU, not that its just a cold. But with the number of cases we're seeing already it seems there's a decent chance the total number in hospital and ICU will increase.

Wasn't totally paying attention as I was still working. Did Whitty say hospitalisations in London were up by a third already? If so that's slightly worrying as they were a few days ahead of the rest of the country for omicron spreading so we could easily see similar rises elsewhere.

Where have you got those numbers from? Found something from a Kings Fund report which paints a very different picture.

She's been saying that for ages and has a book out about it. Although in interviews she has phrased it more that we can’t be certain that it did not emerge from the Wuhan Institute of Virology which I think most people would agree with. Not sure she's got any actual evidence any more than any...

Hospitalisations doesn't get released daily. The last update for admissions was on Saturday but already it was up over 10% in a week which can't be a good sign.

Its beyond belief. This is her 7th offence and she was banned at the time so not sure what they think giving her another one of those will do. She failed an alcohol and drugs (cocaine) test, what do you have to do to get a ban? The drug driving charge was dropped before it even got to court...

Sadly Jethro has died of covid despite being vaccinated. According to the twitter scientists this means we all need to 'wake up' as its proof the vaccines don't work. What is wrong with people? I don't think I've seen any claims that any vaccine, let alone the covid vaccine, is 100% effective.

The pandemic has certainly highlighted a lot of self inflicted issues. As with anything if you're trying to run on the minimum of resources you can get away with when something unexpected happens you've got a problem. We've seen the NHS in crisis every winter for years with ambulances queuing...
