    Glad to hear you're on the mend. Chest pains are pretty scary but you feel a complete idiot when it turns out to be nothing. Happened to me in the gym. Suddenly had a massive pain in my chest and was struggling to breathe. Convinced it was game over but turned out I'd pulled a chest muscle. In...

    Only data on R rate specifically for the variant I can find is a week old and puts it between 3.5 and 5. Remember the good old days when we were worried it might go over 1?!

    25% of EFL

    Seems it wasn't actually postponed. Salernitana just decided they weren't playing and didn't turn up but the league never agreed to a postponement. Udinese named their side and the officials waited 45 minutes for Salernitana to turn up before abandoning the game.

    They also get huge bills for any covid treatment. Mate of mine was working on tour in the US and got it. Was isolating in a hotel and was getting worse so asked for a doctor to come out. $5K for one doctors call out!

    Is the 500 limit effectively BCD? I'm sure there was a limit around that when there was no crowds to cover the number of people actually needed to stage a game, press, sponsors etc.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    A very important point was made on the radio about comparing to last year. When looking at numbers in hospital & ICU you're comparing with an NHS that had basically shut down as much non-covid treatment as possible to enable them to cope with covid. Look at UHCW as an example So while its...

    They'll have to play BCD, they aren't going to get kicked out of the league for that. Bit of a farce though if their supporters are then allowed to travel to away games.

    People seem to have got it into their heads that this is only happening in the UK and everyone else is just cracking on like nothing has changed when pretty much the opposite is true. We relaxed things far more than anyone else to start off with. When speaking to ex-colleagues still working on...

    PCR is the only one you're supposed to take with symptoms isn't it? Isn't the LFT for people without symptoms to check before they go somewhere?

    FA/Premier League meeting tomorrow

    You don't think Sky, BT and Amazon who have been pushing the Christmas football program non-stop would have taken any interest in the possibility the games might be called off? You've got more faith in them than I have.

    Your Portfolio

    Question for the experts on here. Been sorting out paperwork for my parents as my Dads in one of his 'I won't be here much longer you need to know where everything is' phases and for some random reason he's got 242 shares in M&S that he didn't know about. They're old paper shares and not worth...

    FA/Premier League meeting tomorrow

    Didn't even get to a vote and clubs told if they've got 13 fit outfield players and a keeper they have to play. Hard not to imagine there's been some calls from Sky, BT and Amazon.

    That's exactly what they're doing. According to Billboard no-shows are already running at 40% for concerts, that's in the US but you wouldn't expect it to be massively different here. How many of those people are going to be put off buying tickets for future events when they realise they don't...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Seen a couple of clips on YouTube of the new series and its terrible. Presume if its in the West End its not going to be a run of the same show as it will date quickly. Nice easy work for a writer to be employed for months to tweak the script to current events.

    Not much we can do about it but not great that with a small squad we're going to get a pile up of fixtures through no fault of our own.
