I'm not sure that's strictly true, but it did make me laugh. Conversely I always though of Mickey Quinn and Kenny Sansom as having very low centres of gravity (mostly by dint of their huge arses). Like Weebles, for anyone who can remember "Weebles wobble but they don't fall down". Maybe...

Nooo... it's the only chance I've got of figuring it out. I'm really enjoying this thread, but there are so many players now that I just don't recognise. It's making me feel like a really crap fan. I suppose it's time to come clean: I'm actually from Barcelona, I only follow Cov for the...

Also, for many of us, wearing a mask definitely improves our looks. In my case, the bigger the better. :)

To you as an individual, possibly not. But to you as part of a wider community, I'd say definitely yes. My thinking is this: At the moment we want to reduce transmission, and one way of doing it is to encourage people to wear masks, particularly indoors and on public transport. You...

Cheers Daz, I'll have a pint of handpump bitter (anything under 4% will be fine), or a Guinness, a bag of pork scratchings to share, and a good old chinwag about all things City... I'll leave the power drinking to you and Nick, and I'll probably sneak off at about half-ten whilst you're trying...

'Natural immunity', i.e. 'let it rip', in a disease that can kill, hospitalise, or cause long term health issues, is a poor strategy. We demonstrated that in the first wave (see also the number of deaths in the US and Brazil that went for this approach). Again, there's no reliable evidence yet...

I find that "Drink your Kool-Aid" and phrases like "sheeple" are a handy indicator of someone who might be a bit too lazy to do their own research. It's not an honest conversation if people are just making stuff up... So... any footballers who are seeing their colleagues 'drop on the pitch'...

And vaccination reduces transmission too. Always has, always will. If you reduce infection, you reduce transmission. However the booster is obviously far more important for Omicron, hence the push on it. There's no need to look for excuses to avoid vaccination and boosters. The best chance...

Agreed. Maybe it's something to do with having a Wasps executive on the board...

He's making a small fortune... out of a big one. :)

I'd be putting deep-heat on their bed pans if I had to come in over Christmas because of it. 😁

Gallows humour, I guess. Genuine question, when did vaccine resistance become a thing? We've lived through an era when we've completely eradicated smallpox and massively reduced polio and TB. All through vaccination, with probably millions of lives saved. We'd have made a massive dent in...

Actually, it has. Go and Google the impact on the numbers on public transport since the work from home directive was announced. Then see if you can dig out the stats on the number of cancelled bookings in the hospitality sector in the same period. What you'll see is that behaviour has already...

He actually wasn't a bad midfielder... for a goalie. :)

I've been thinking about this for two days, and I still can't come with a better pun than that. You win! :)

No problem, post up your address and we'll hire a van to pop all of our bins up your way. Sans cats, obviously. :)

Only slightly. But please keep posting up the science at least, seeing things casually parachuted in from twitter etc. and posited as 'fact', really is damaging my health. :)

Absolutely. And I'll bet out of that 5% most of them are just feckless malingerers pretending to have a cough. And even though on it's own 5% is an utterly meaningless statistic, I think it completely proves that it's blindingly obvious that that the press are just making stuff up to scare...

Interesting read that, thanks, although there are conflicting opinions even there. I think what's clear though, is that viruses certainly do not always mutate to become less virulent. Blimey, if you follow Cov long enough, not only do you become better at forensic accountancy and law, but you...

Politely, it's not just this government. Here's the European CDC take on it (VOC = Variant of Concern): "Although current data on the severity of the infection associated with the Omicron VOC remain limited, evidence to date raises concern that the Omicron VOC may be associated with a...
