It's like I keep saying, if the world isn't Monster Munch shaped, why does everything seem to smell like pickled onion? It's obvious, open your eyes!

Oh come on now David. I had a little pop at you earlier for which I apologise, but I am doing nothing of the sort. I just posted a link to the data, the source of which is mainly the WHO. There was absolutely no misrepresentation at all. And anyway, everyone knows the Earth is shaped like a...

Some cases, but not the vast majority, because if they did the outbreak would be far wider as they would have lost complete control. Most people have been traced. In any case, this is accounted for in the estimates. The current mortality rate of closed cases is 7%, but the projection is 2%...

I've heard (but this is third hand so I can't 100% vouch for it) that he is not enjoying it up there and is quite home sick. Always liked Willis, glad it is going well for him on the pitch at least, but we don't miss him.

Relax, i was jesting. I'm genuinely not sure what your point is though. I was simply addressing the claim that COVID-19 has a mortality rate only 4 times that of flu. This is simply not the case. As it stands, from closed cases, COVID-19 has a CFR of 7%. There will be variations by country...

Yeah, I was going to ignore it because it's utter bollocks tbf.

It's the same website.

No, it is updated by the hour: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ The live data backs up entirely what was said in the section relating to death rates, so there is no significant update to that since it was published.

Not correct. It is 2/100 infected. Out by a magnitude of 10. The early estimate, following very detailed statistical analysis and models is 2%, so 20 x flu. The same happened with SARS, the WHO gave an early estimate of 3%, but it ended up being nearly 10%. This is because people calculate...

It may well be overstated for the reason given, but equally you cannot declare that the mortality rate is '0.4%', citing the cruise ship as the only source of sample data - it is an incredibly small sample on which to make that assertion, especially as only 10 of the 700 cases has the patient...

No, it isn't. It is 20-40x. Since when has flu had a mortality rate of 0.5%? So far this flu season, about 0.05% of people who caught the flu have died from the virus in the U.S., according to CDC data. In the study published Feb. 18 in the China CDC Weekly, researchers found a death rate...

Yes, but it doesn't escape the fact that overall Coronavirus is 20 x more deadly. The life of somebody over 80 is not worth any less than mine. I know that if I get it my chances of dying are very slim, but 2000 deaths for every 100,000 cases would be horrendous, so the actions of governments...

But it's all relative. Flu also has a much higher mortality rate amongst the elderly and those with underlying health issues. The point being, the death rate across all age groups for flu is 0.05%-0.1% and for Coronavirus it is over 2% - i.e it is MUCH more deadly than flu, which is also much...

It is much more than 4 x the mortality rate of flu isn't it? Flu is about 0.05 to 0.1% as opposed to 2%+.

What's with this nonsense that you can't look at another club's forum in the lead up to a fixture without being labelled a weirdo? I've had a gander on there a couple of times this week. It's hilarious. Don't post, but some do because it's hard not to defend your club and city in the face of...

Yeah, ahead of where they were 3 days out from the Rotherham game. Top tier as good as sold out. Don't think there will be the same late rush or as big a walk up though. Hope I'm wrong.

Sundays are a nightmare. My lad can't make his mind up whether to play for his team or go to the game, but I'm sure he'll choose the city in the end. It can work the other way though, lots of people work Saturdays. Don't agree with those estimates, but as mentioned above, pointless argument...

You keep suggesting I've said things I haven't said. It isn't getting worse. I started watching football in the 80s and no way is it any worse than when I started. The difference between Sunday football and last night is context, the degree of separation, the level of protection and the...

Yes, there was a big fall away, starting around the season before relegation from Championship. As a league 1 club though, crowds have plateaued but do rise and fall depending on how things are going. A significant increase will only follow a promotion, but they would have increased 10-15% this...

I'm not saying anything goes at all. But it has always been this way. I'm sure the individual will have run the line at Millwall at some point. I doubt he could hear many individual comments anyway, just a wall of noise. Just another day at the office. Officials at this level are used to it and...
