    87 cup final thread

    The story I heard is that as it was a new kit design they'd be shipped in boxes. At one point the youth team were going to wear the same shirt in an end of season tournament so some were supplied without sponsors (as it was a beer). The plan then changed and the youth team wore their existing...

    Women's World Cup 2019

    US women's team have had their case for equal pay thrown out before it even got to court. Turns out that they were offered the same deal as the mens team but turned it down and that over the period in question got paid more than the mens team. You'd think that would be the sort of thing you'd...

    Feeling resigned...but not down and out!

    If anything it looks like corona deaths are being under-reported. Look at deaths in care homes for example, 9,707 deaths over the 5 year average but of those 3,093 are listed as corona. What about the other 6,614? That's why IMO the best number to look at is excess deaths. It won't be exact...

    Be interesting to see how they maintain the 100K a day figure as it wasn't promised as a one off, it was meet that target and maintain it. Since yesterday morning the site for booking tests has shown no home testing kits available and there's people on social media saying they've booked to...

    Think people are aware of it but what do you do? If you point out the number is wrong you get the situation we're currently in where as you say people think there's a big number and you did it. If it's not challenged you end up with the same result, there's a big number and you did it.

    Feeling resigned...but not down and out!

    Sorry to hear that mate, hope things work out OK. Its amazing how casually some people dismiss people dying. Of course people die all the time but there are thousands of additional deaths, its not like people have suddenly stopped dying of anything else. And of course even if people have...

    They've been testing in Iceland and seem to think there's different strains and somehow they've traced them back to which countries they came into Iceland from. Iceland lab testing suggests 50% of coronavirus cases are asymptomatic - CNN Although I don't think that accounts for a strain that...

    Not even particularly close to the target. 73,191 people tested. Be interesting to see how the numbers hold up, are they going to mail out tens of thousands every day to artificially keep the number high or are they hoping people won't notice if it drops back down again?

    What an idiot. How much notice was there schools were closing, couple of days? Is he seriously suggesting that in that time they should have been able to transfer everything online?
