    Is that how many new cases they think we have over a week - in which case just over 100,000 a day - or is it how many people are infected with it right now, which would be hard to calculate because some people may have had it longer than a week.

    At what age did you all have kids?

    Same for my wife, I lost count of the amount of miscarriages. We gave up hope after 15 years and then suddenly it happened. Hopefully you guys won't have to wait as long but keep the Faith!

    At what age did you all have kids?

    39. When she's old enough to go to school i'll be assumed to be Great Grandad when I go to pick her up.

    Today's death count has one from July included. No idea how that works but there you go.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    A few hours ago the BBC posted a story about how deaths were going down. The current death count trend is something that seems to be bucking the experts opinion - that there's a 2 or 3 week lag between cases and deaths. 3 weeks ago were about to leave lockdown and cases were half what we are now...

    Sports Personality of the Year

    Same. Wouldn't it be awkwardly funny. To be fair if we are supposed to vote for personality then he should be a shoe in.

    Yeah, you're right, I shouldn't have said mostly. Assuming the %s Whitty gave yesterday are somewhere near accurate then this new strain will have accounted for around 4,000 cases in the capital a week in mid November at 28% and around 25,000 this week just finished at 60%. A 6 fold increase in...

    Cases started going up in London before the end of the last lockdown. Mostly driven by this new strain. Not good. I suppose after yesterday's evacuation of London we will soon find out how quickly it can spread.

    35,928 cases today. Last week 18,500 (although 2,500 Welsh cases were not counted at the time so 21,000 really). Huge week on week jump.

    Wales to go into full lockdown from midnight. Apart from Xmas day, COVID has confirmed it's taking the day off.

    Match Thread Sheffield Wednesday

    For a one nil defeat that was quite an entertaining game. We created a lot, put some decent balls in and played some good stuff at times but we could play til midnight and not score. Giles run late on was a perfect example, brilliantly skips 3 tackles and messes up a simple ball to put us...

    It's a bit of a concern that the death count hasn't come down of late. There tends to be a two or three week lag between cases being announced and deaths occuring so right now we should be seeing lower deaths because of the effect of the recent lockdown and then higher deaths early in the new...

    Midfield looks to be a big problem today so 2 upfront, hit it long and try and bypass it as much as possible.

    Formula 1 2020

    It's always a bit of a punt guessing how a team will react to new rules. I think Merc will get it right but there's always the chance another team will luck into getting it even more right. It would not surprise me once Hamilton has 8 championships and 100 wins he will look to call it a day...

    The R rate figure given today is for the week ending 12/12, so already 6 days out of date. I'm sure totting up all the stats is a huge job, it just strikes me as strange that in a fast moving pandemic we are releasing such outdated figures. Over the past week case numbers have gone up around 40%...

    Formula 1 2020

    Albon probably would have won the 1st race of the season if Hamilton hadn't have nudged him off track and it's been downhill pretty much ever since for him. I'm sure all the rumours have not helped his performances but a year out of the public eye will do him good and he's got time on his side...
